Ski Juniors GP4
UIM 2026, 302.01. The rulebook does not state a governing principle for this class.
Read out of the published UIM rulebook on 2026-09-08, so confirm anything that decides a purchase. The full note is at the foot of the page.
Running the class
- Rider requirements
- Ages 13-15, reckoned at 31 December; Minor Release Form.
- Entry fee
- Free.
- Championship status
- Continental Championship only - NOT in the World Championship table.
Read from the same class section as the part answers. The rider side of the sport, tiers, ages, licences and what gets inspected, is set out across the bodies at Racing.
Places where the rulebook contradicts itself, or where a figure could not be settled. Nothing in this list is decided, and it sits here rather than in a footnote because it is what you would want before spending money.
- The link to 501.01 is inferred from the 1100 cc match, not stated.
What the rules say (55 parts)
8 permitted outright, 14 permitted with stated conditions, 10 refused by a rule we can quote, 3 held to the original part by a rule we can quote and 20 refused by our reading of the class rather than by a quoted rule. Grouped where the same rule gives the same answer, so two "Not legal" groups can sit side by side under different rules.
What each answer below means
- Not legal
- This comes off. The rules refuse it in this class.
- OEM part required
- This comes off. Only the part the manufacturer fitted is allowed here.
- Not permitted, not listed in the rules
- Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
- Legal, with conditions
- Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
- Legal
- Keep it. The rules permit this part in this class.
Read the refusals as a list of work. Anything below marked Not legal, OEM part required, or Not permitted has to come off the machine, or go back to the standard part, before it races in this class.
