Ohvale GP-2 160 - Specifications & Review

Company History

Ohvale transformed kart tracks into rider academies by building pint-size, GP-correct racebikes with real chassis dynamics. Scaled-down ergonomics, quality suspension and brakes, quick-change gearing, and sticky 10-inch slicks let beginners and pros practice race craft at safe speeds and reasonable costs. National series adopted spec Ohvale classes, and professional teams now funnel prospects through Ohvale seat time to ingrain braking markers, body position, and throttle discipline. The bikes accept crash damage with grace—controls and pegs are modular and inexpensive—so riders can push without fear of repair bills. Tunability is thorough: sag, tire pressures, and gearing changes translate directly into lap-time feedback, teaching setup fundamentals early. Historically, Ohvale has become a cornerstone of the modern rider pipeline: a low-risk, high-learning environment that accelerates skills better than big circuits ever could. Countless racers now speak Ohvale as their first language of speed.
