What makes this kit different?

Unlike cheaper alternatives that use steel frames prone to rust or wooden components that rot, the Max 6 Helix uses corrosion-resistant materials built to last. The high-gloss black powder coat finish resists chipping, scratching, and fading through years of outdoor use.

The kit requires DoubleTake rear seat cushions (sold separately), available in dozens of colors through their Extreme or Veranda series. This lets you match or contrast with your cart's existing style.

Optional accessories like cup holders, golf bag holders, chair holders, and rear steps attach directly to the frame, creating a fully customized rear seating area.

Design, Materials, and Durability

When we talk about golf cart upgrades, durability and longevity are paramount. The Max 6 Helix Rear Seat Kit truly shines in this regard, thanks to its thoughtful selection of high-quality materials and robust construction. This isn't just a seat; it's an investment built to withstand the rigors of daily use and the elements.

This kit is built on a rust-free aluminum frame, so you get a structure that is both lightweight and extremely strong. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion, which means the frame stays solid and good-looking for years, even in wet or changing weather.

On top of that, the seat base and utility bed use industrial-grade, weatherproof polymers instead of wood or thin metal. These materials will not rot, warp, or rust like cheaper options, so you avoid the usual long-term issues and gain a rear seat kit that is truly built to last.

The entire frame is finished in a durable, high-gloss black powder coat. It looks sleek and modern, and it works hard behind the scenes as a protective layer that resists chipping, scratching, and fading. In everyday use, that means your Max 6 Helix kit keeps its clean, like-new appearance ride after ride. It is also made in the USA, which speaks to the build quality, tighter production standards, and long-term reliability you can count on.

The "Helix" Design Advantage

The "Helix" in the Max 6 Helix design isn't just a fancy name; it signifies a design philosophy that prioritizes both form and function. This kit offers maximum style and functionality, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride for rear passengers. What immediately catches our eye (and provides a crucial safety feature) are the integrated wrap-around side arm rails. These aren't merely decorative; they serve as a sturdy safety grab bar, protecting rear passengers and offering a secure handhold when entering, exiting, or navigating bumpy terrain. It’s a simple yet incredibly effective design choice that lifts passenger confidence.

Beyond safety, the Helix design brings a modern aesthetic to our golf carts. Its clean lines and engineered fit mean it doesn't look like an afterthought; it looks like it belongs. DoubleTake components are preconfigured and engineered to fit specific car models, which means we get a seamless integration and an easy installation process. This attention to detail ensures that the Max 6 Helix kit improves our golf cart's appearance while delivering superior performance.

Built to Last: Materials and Construction

A rear seat kit takes a lot of abuse, so it has to be genuinely tough. The Max 6 Helix is built for long-term use, focusing on comfort, corrosion resistance, strength, style, and everyday versatility. Its heavy-duty frame combines rust-free aluminum with industrial-grade polymers, a smart mix that delivers excellent corrosion resistance and helps prevent the rust issues that can make other rear seats both unattractive and unsafe over time.

The Max 6 Helix doesn’t just look solid—it is solid. At 98 lbs, the kit has a reassuring, heavy-duty feel that speaks to its engineered strength rather than unnecessary bulk. The high-gloss black finish gives it a clean, modern look that blends seamlessly with most carts, and it holds up well to regular use and outdoor exposure. Stainless steel fasteners tie it all together, helping the frame stay tight, rattle-free, and clean-looking over time. The end result is a rear seat system that feels stable under load, stays looking sharp, and inspires confidence every time you put passengers or cargo on the back.

Functionality and Versatility: More Than Just a Seat

The Max 6 Helix isn't just about adding more seating; it's about changing our golf cart into a multi-purpose powerhouse. This section explores how the kit dramatically improves our cart's utility, making it far more versatile for both work and play.

Seamless Conversion: From Passenger Seat to Cargo Bed

One of the most impressive features of the Max 6 Helix is its ability to effortlessly switch between carrying passengers and hauling cargo. The seat bottom is ingeniously designed with a flip mechanism that allows for seamless conversion from a comfortable rear seat to a robust cargo bed. In a matter of seconds, we can transform our passenger area into a flat working surface or a secure cargo deck.

When flipped down, the cargo bed features raised edges. This might seem like a minor detail, but it’s incredibly practical, helping to keep our items contained and preventing them from sliding off during transit. Whether we're carrying coolers, tools, or bags, these raised edges provide a crucial safety net. Furthermore, flipping open the seat bottom also provides convenient access to an underneath storage bin (an optional accessory, but a fantastic one!). This hidden compartment is perfect for stashing away essentials, keeping them out of sight and protected from the elements. This dual functionality is a game-changer, allowing us to adapt our golf cart to our needs on the fly.

Smart Features for Everyday Use

Beyond its primary passenger-to-cargo conversion, the Max 6 Helix is packed with smart features designed to improve our everyday golf cart experience. One standout feature is the full-width stationary rear footrest or step plate. This isn't just a place for passengers to rest their feet; it's a solid, permanently mounted platform that adds stability, confidence, and ease of entry and exit for rear passengers.

Compatibility and Customization

We at Extreme Kartz understand that golf cart owners value both performance and personal expression. The Max 6 Helix rear seat kit delivers on both fronts, offering broad compatibility with popular golf cart models and extensive customization options to match our unique style.

The DoubleTake Color-Match System

Beyond compatibility, the Helix rear seat setup truly shines in its ability to be customized to our personal taste. DoubleTake is renowned for its complete color-match system, allowing us to upgrade our golf cart's aesthetic to the next level. This means we can achieve a cohesive, factory-quality look across various components, not just the rear seat.

The kit requires DoubleTake rear seat cushions, which are sold separately. This might sound like an extra step, but it's actually a huge advantage, giving us unparalleled flexibility in choosing our style. We can select from a wide variety of colors and two distinct cushion styles: Extreme and Veranda. Whether we prefer bold hues or subtle tones, there's an option for everyone. Plus, DoubleTake also offers Classic Series cushions in solid colors, ensuring we can match or perfectly contrast our golf cart's existing body or other accessories. For those looking for a truly unique touch, custom accent piping is often available, adding that extra pop of personality.

This color-match system extends to other DoubleTake products, such as body sets, steering wheel inserts, dashes, and fender flares.

Installation and Accessories for the Max 6 Helix

We know that even the best products can be frustrating if they're difficult to install. That's why we appreciate DoubleTake's commitment to user-friendly design. This rear seat kit features components that are pre-configured and engineered to fit specific car models, making the installation process as straightforward as possible. Every kit includes all the necessary stainless steel hardware and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. While we always recommend taking your time and perhaps enlisting a buddy for a few laughs, the overall process is designed for a hassle-free experience.

However, there's one crucial point to remember: for most installations, especially those with a factory top, new rear struts are required and are sold separately. These struts provide essential support for the added weight and structure of the rear seat kit, ensuring safety and stability. It's a small but vital component that ensures the integrity of your entire setup. Always confirm the correct rear strut type for your specific golf cart model and top configuration.

• Golf Bag Holder: For the avid golfer, this accessory allows us to securely transport our clubs without sacrificing passenger space or cargo capacity.
• Chair Holder: Ideal for days at the beach, picnics, or outdoor events, this attachment lets us carry folding chairs with ease. The Helix's wrap-around rail can even securely hold up to 4 folding beach chairs or 1 stroller!
• Rear Step: This provides an extra boost for passengers, making entry and exit even easier, especially for those with limited mobility.
• Underseat Storage Bin: This is a must-have for discreet storage. It fits neatly beneath the flip-up seat, perfect for tools, small coolers, or personal items, keeping them out of sight and protected.

Frequently Asked Questions about the DoubleTake Max 6 Helix Rear Seat Kit

We understand that investing in a significant golf cart upgrade can bring up a few questions. Here, we address some of the most common inquiries we receive about the DoubleTake Max 6 Helix Rear Seat Kit to help you make an informed decision.

What is the primary benefit of the aluminum and polymer construction?

The primary benefit of the DoubleTake Max 6 Helix Rear Seat Kit's aluminum and polymer construction is unparalleled durability and weather resistance. Unlike kits that use steel frames, which are prone to rust, or wooden components that can rot and degrade over time, the combination of a rust-free aluminum frame and industrial-grade polymers ensures maximum longevity. This means your seat kit will withstand exposure to moisture, UV rays, and general wear and tear without corroding or breaking down, maintaining its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for years to come. It’s a design choice that truly speaks to the kit's "built to last" philosophy.

Are new rear struts required for installation?

Yes, for most installations of the DoubleTake Max 6 Helix Rear Seat Kit, especially those with a factory top, you will need to purchase the corresponding DoubleTake rear struts. These struts are a critical component for ensuring proper support and fitment of the new rear seat kit. They help bear the additional weight of the seat and passengers, distributing it safely and maintaining the golf cart's balance and structural integrity. While the seat kit itself comes with all necessary hardware for assembly, the rear struts are a separate, essential purchase to complete a safe and secure installation.

How does the color-match system work?

The DoubleTake color-match system is designed to give your golf cart a cohesive, customized, and factory-finished look. DoubleTake offers a complete ecosystem of products, including body kits, fender flares, tops, and seat cushions, all available in a wide array of matching colors. When you choose a DoubleTake Max 6 Helix Rear Seat Kit, you can then select seat cushions from their Extreme or Veranda series in a color that perfectly matches other DoubleTake accessories you might have (or plan to get!). This allows us to create a fully custom, unified look for our entire golf cart, making it truly unique and stylish.
