The Invader chassis is among the most emblematic models produced by Parolin Racing Kart. The body is completely composed of chromium-molybdenum steel alloy tubes that have a 32 mm diameter and a 2 mm thickness. Parolin Racing Kart exploits state-of-the-art technology to deliver a top-quality product, cutting and deburring tubes with laser as well as shaping them with an electric bending machine that maintains consistent and minimum tolerances between the first processed tube and the last one. The tubes are then entirely welded by robots, which guarantee extreme precision with very low deformation. The standard configuration of the Invader kart is particularly efficient on tracks with medium grip levels thanks to the side stringers. Being responsible for the torsion, especially when entering corners, this part of the chassis makes the Invader model more suitable for the shifter classes, which drive with more angular lines. Furthermore, the front-end setup can also be adapted to the track conditions with the two front stiffening bars that are connected to the body through the traditional aluminium alloy clamps.
The innovative Easy Caster is a distinctive trait of the Invader model, offering the possibility of making rapid and independent changes both to the caster and to the camber. The adjustable steering column support is another standard feature of all Parolin chassis and it ensures a fast adjustment of the Ackermann angle. Aiming at fine-tuning the front geometry in any circuit and with any driving style, this system provides a broad range of opportunities to modify the front-end setup.
The black anodised aluminium pedals add to the exceptional adaptability of the Invader model, suiting drivers of all heights and offering customisable pedal sensitivity. The footrest is made of black anodised aluminium too and is also knurled to provide greater grip. Moreover, it can be adjusted in four different positions, while an additional pedal board is available for the shortest drivers.
Compared to the previous version, the new Invader features rear bearing carriers that are 5 mm taller (from 90 to 95 mm). At the same time, the chassis ride height adjustment slots have been repositioned 5 mm higher while maintaining the same ±11 mm adjustment range. This configuration allows the rear end to be lowered by an additional 5 mm compared to the 2022 model. Introduced during the 2024 racing season, this update increases rear axle load and improves grip, particularly when using harder-compound tyres or in low-grip conditions.
The front and rear calipers are characterised by the same design and geometry, but the rear one is larger and equipped with two pistons that have a 32 mm diameter, while the front ones feature pistons that have a 27 mm diameter. Nevertheless, all the pistons have magnetic holding on the brake pads. Furthermore, the radial attachment guarantees greater system solidity and torsional stiffness, which translate into better braking sensitivity. The floating, self-ventilated and perforated cast iron brake discs are supported by the aluminium brake master cylinders, which are machined from a solid piece. One of their benefits consists in a 22 mm internal piston: a lever is fastened to the rod that is connected to the brake and offers four anchoring positions, thus providing drivers with a wider range of options in order to satisfy their preferences with regard to braking modulation. Lastly, the brake distributor is characterised by a shaped knob that is designed for jerky rotation, which facilitates drivers in any adjustment and prevents the distributor from rotating accidentally.
For the 2025 model year, the Invader introduces updated graphics and the latest evolution of the Eurostar Dynamica fairing kit, confirming Parolin Racing Kart’s focus on aerodynamic development. The front fairing, side bodywork and rear wheel protection remain unchanged, while all components now use a new polymer compound for improved durability. The main innovation is the DY-EVO Nassau panel, featuring an internal Venturi system that channels airflow through multiple outlets, reducing aerodynamic disturbance and lowering drag to improve efficiency and stability.
From 2025, the Invader is equipped as standard with Eurostar die-cast magnesium wheels, finished in black and designed for versatile performance in different track conditions. Optional low-pressure cast magnesium wheels in gold are available for hotter environments thanks to improved heat dissipation. The floor tray has been updated in graphics and profile, now following the curvature of the chassis “C” tubing. The kart also features a new Eurostar fuel tank with reduced width and 9-litre capacity, plus the Eurostar 3 upper steering column support with three height adjustment positions.
