MAXTRAX MKII Blaze Yellow — Grab Your Sunnies, This One's Impossible to Lose
MAXTRAX built Blaze Yellow for one simple reason: visibility. If you've ever dropped a board face-down in scrub, buried it under a wash of mud, or handed one to a mate at dusk and lost sight of it in seconds, this is the colour that fixes that. It's the same MAXTRAX MKII that's been the benchmark recovery board for over two decades, just finished in a high-vis yellow that's easy to spot in low light, thick vegetation, or a chaotic recovery scene.
In stock now — while other MAXTRAX MKII colours run in and out of availability, we've got Blaze Yellow ready to ship.
Why serious tourers run MAXTRAX MKII:
-
Aggressive cleat design – big, deep cleats bite into your tyre tread and the terrain underneath, stopping wheel spin dead so you drive out instead of digging deeper.
-
Engineering-grade reinforced nylon – UV-stabilised and flexible enough to work in extreme heat or cold, tough enough that University of Queensland testing had them wrap fully around a 33-inch tyre without failing.
-
Built to carry, not just carry you – 3.4kg per board (6.8kg the pair), so they pack into the tourer or ute tray without eating your payload.
-
Double-edged, no wrong way up – grab them and go, no fumbling around working out orientation while you're stuck axle-deep with the tide coming in.
-
Six built-in handles + integrated shovel ends – dig out excess sand or mud and get the boards seated properly before you plant your foot.
-
Keyhole mounting points – set up a proper flat mount on your roof rack, bar work, or canopy instead of throwing them loose in the back.
-
1150mm L x 330mm W x 85mm H per pair when stacked – compact enough to live permanently in the vehicle, so they're there when you actually need them.
-
High-visibility Blaze Yellow finish – easy to spot in scrub, mud, or low light, so you're not hunting for a board when every second counts.

6. FAQs
Q: Is Blaze Yellow actually in stock, or is this a pre-order? A: In stock and ready to ship now.
Q: Why did MAXTRAX make a high-vis yellow colour? A: It was designed specifically as a safe, easy-to-spot colour for recoveries in low light, dense scrub, or muddy conditions where a darker board can be hard to find.
Q: Does the colour affect performance or durability? A: No. It's built to the same full MKII spec, same dimensions (1150mm x 330mm x 85mm), same 3.4kg per board weight, same UV-stabilised engineering-grade nylon construction tested at the University of Queensland to wrap around a 33-inch tyre without breaking, and the same lifetime warranty as every other MKII colour.
Q: What's actually in the box? A: Each set includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards (Blaze Yellow) and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can locate the boards if they end up buried during a recovery.
Q: Do I need one pair or two? A: One pair (2 boards) covers a single-axle recovery, which is the standard setup for most 4WD touring. Some remote or heavy-vehicle setups run two pairs (4 boards total) for extra traction on both drive axles, worth considering if you're regularly running heavy loads through soft sand or deep mud.
Q: Can I mount these to my roof rack or canopy? A: Yes. MAXTRAX MKII has exclusive keyhole accessory points built in, which work with a flat mounting kit to bolt the boards securely to a roof rack, bar work, or canopy.
