The "Transformer", manufactured by Max Pro Racing, is an innovative seat in terms of its shape, construction technology and with a unique feature: the ability to vary the rigidity

As is well-known, the seat is vital in the set-up of a kart. This is the concept that Max Pro Racing bore in mind to realise, after a year of development, its new "Transformer", an innovative accessory both in terms of its shape (they tried to ensure more comfort for the driver than using traditional seats), and technical characteristics, with the use of mats woven with high mechanical properties which give the seat a high level of resistance to rotation, traction and bending.
However, the main feature of the Transformer seat is the possibility of changing the set-up of the kart using different inserts on the surface of its sides.
Remarkably, Max Pro Racing also gives the possibility of customising the seat, both with ready-made silk-screen prints or directly based on the customer's design.

TECHNICAL DATA

The great innovation of the Transformer seat is surely that of the inserts, distinguished by colour, which allow three possible rigidity variants. The red inserts allow a high level of seat rigidity (hard). The blue corresponds to a middle level (medium), while the green gives a slight rigidity (soft).
The seat rigidity variation option allows interesting possibilities for finding the right alignment of the kart on the track: in fact, coloured inserts can also be applied using different levels of rigidity on the right and on the left, giving the seat ad hoc rotation, designed based on the circuit.
Another benefit is the speed of replacement: it takes a couple of minutes to change the inserts and to vary the rigidity without having to completely change the seat.
