Briggs LO206 Cadet

The Briggs & Stratton LO206 Cadet class is a tightly regulated, four-stroke category built for consistency, cost control, and skill development. The 206cc engine is factory-sealed and run in a "box stock" configuration — meaning all components remain OEM, with no performance modifications allowed. Designed for young drivers aged 7 to 12, the LO206 Cadet package offers predictable power delivery, low maintenance requirements, and high reliability. It’s a cornerstone of grassroots racing across North America, forming the foundation of many regional and national karting programs, including CKNA, USAC, and club-level series. In KartSim Pro North America, the LO206 Cadet is faithfully simulated — including clutch engagement characteristics, rev limits, throttle lag, and weight dynamics — making it ideal for young drivers to practice real-world techniques like racecraft, momentum conservation, and defensive driving in a virtual environment.
