HPV 2 is still a Jr. class and if you are looking to purchase a Margay chassis you would be looking at the Cadet. The Brava 1.7 is a senior kart. If you want some really good info, call or email Margay. The owner, Keith Freber has always been available and willing to talk to everyone about getting the right chassis for the class you are going to run.

The Margay Brava 1.7/1.8 chassis is fine for HPV-2.

HPV-2 uses a full-size chassis. Cadet chassis are used in Jr.1 and HPV-1.

From a couple Margay dealer web sites:
Brava 1.7 (2007) ... Kart designed for Yamaha, Rotax, HPV, Junior and Senior Classes ...
Brava 1.8 (2008) ... Kart designed for both Junior and Senior Divisions ... Classes include Junior & Senior Yamaha, HPV ...

Are you buying new or used? Are you set on Margay?
