Custom Shifter
Kart Suits

Shifter karting is the karting discipline that demands the most from a suit — longer sessions, hotter engines, constant paddle-shift work. Our shifter kart suits are spec'd around four upgrades:

• Reinforced right-shoulder abrasion panel — Shifter driving puts the right shoulder under sustained load against the seat. Reinforcement extends useful life by a full season.
• Cooler moisture-wicking inner liner — Shifter sessions run longer than sprint karting. Engine sits closer to the driver. Mesh inner liner drops core body temp meaningfully.
• Stretch panel at the inner elbow — Constant paddle-shift motion fatigues the right inner elbow first. Stretch panel relieves binding over a long heat race.
• Reinforced collar with breathable mesh — Shifter drivers wear neck restraints or high-collar helmets. Collar has to clear without choking.

Shifter karting has CIK Level 2 baseline plus discipline-specific extras at the top tier:

• SKUSA Pro Shifter / KZ: CIK Level 2 minimum. SuperNationals KZ class requires additional SFI 3.2A/1 abrasion certification.
• WKA Pro Shifter: CIK Level 2 across the national series.
• USPKS / regional shifter classes: CIK Level 2; some series may require specific abrasion patches.
• IAME X30 Shifter: CIK Level 2 across the IAME USA East and West regions.
• Stock Honda Moto Shifter: CIK Level 2 minimum.
