SODI GT5 GPL : The new generation

As an optimized version of the SODI GT4, the SODI GT5 GPL is certainly the most successful and effective rental kart on the market for both indoor and outdoor Karting. A new design of understated and rare elegance, reliability guaranteed by technical solutions tested on tracks all over the world, and ideal ergonomics and weight distribution give the SODI GT5 GPL a unique competitive edge. In addition to providing an out-of-this-world driving experience, with the adoption of the new “HEAD System” (a patented high energy absorption system which offers levels of security and comfort that had been previously unattainable in rental karts), the superb base entirely covering the tank (protecting the driver’s legs) and its patented pedals that are fully adjustable in ultra-quick time, the SODI GT5 GPL includes all the elements of an exceptional kart.
