SwissAuto 250 4 Stroke - The 'Rotax Max' of 4 Stroke Karting?

The SwissAuto SA250 is a 34HP 250cc DOHC 4 stroke TAG motor recently introduced to the Karting market.The Swiss produced motor is now available through a number of International dealers such as Saxon Motorsports in the UK.

With the promise of high horsepower, low maintenance and simpler operation the new 250 four strokes have been a very promising development in the TAG world, except for one thing - their high price. Most TAG 4 stroke motors retail for about USD 4500.00 or about the price of an ICC.

The SwissAuto now promises to change that. Saxon Motorsports lists the SA250 for £ 1,795 or USD $2661 which is less than a Rotax Max at £ 1,872.00.

So with a cleaner, greener, more powerful, lower maintenance package available for the same or less than a 2-stroke TAG, this may well be the time for 4 stroke racers (Honda, F200, Briggs etc) looking to step up in power to think about a 4 stroke TAG alternative. So too may those that just want to focus on racing and less on servicing and maintaining their ride.
