Since a gokart is open and without suspension, it is important to be well protected against any accidents and harsh vibrations. At XRace, we have a large selection of rib protectors and neck collars for karting from the leading manufacturers in equipment for karting. It is not a requirement to drive with rib protectors, but we strongly recommend that you do so for your own safety. When you sit in a go-kart seat, all vibrations go up through you and all bumps and kerbs can be felt. Hard driving can result in bent or even broken ribs. That is why we see the rib protector as an investment in your own safety. At high speed, collisions can cause some unpleasant jerks in the body and not least the neck. A neck collar ensures that you do not have to bend your head too much forwards or backwards in the event of a collision. We always recommend that you drive with a neck collar if you are under 18 years old.
