The MINecon chassis was designed for tighter, smaller tracks where turnability is crucial, and for smaller/junior drivers that do not weigh as much and/or do not put as much load/stress on the frame. The MINecon is the 1-1/8" tubing version of the highly successful 1-1/4" Recon chassis, hence the name… MINimized Recon.
Following tremendous success with a small tube model of the Triton frame (Triton Jr.), PRC followed it up by creating a smaller-tube sister chassis for the Recon. The MINecon frame flexes more under load which allows the kart to be more “user-friendly” since the chassis will do more work while cornering. This also allows the kart to remain "freer" and turn better. Keep in mind, more flex does come at a cost. Since the chassis flexes more, it does not allow the kart to roll as well as its larger tubed sister chassis (Recon). While both karts are similar in handling characteristics and setups, remember that the Recon rolls better, while the MINecon is freer and more user-friendly.
The MINecon utilizes all of the revolutionary features of the Recon including the renowned front seat bar design which increases weight transfer and weight distribution during cornering. The MINecon’s front seat bar has proven to enhance the turning power and drivability, while increasing the kart’s roll speed.
