MAXTRAX MKII Maroon "People's Choice" You Voted. They Built It. Once Gone, Gone for Good.
This one didn't come from a marketing meeting it came from the community. Over 1,400 votes in the final round, and Maroon came out on top. MAXTRAX built it, crowned it officially as the People's Choice, and released it in strictly limited numbers. When this run sells out, that's it no restock, no second chance.
This isn't a paint job on a standard board. Every pair is genuinely one of a kind, carrying exclusive laser engravings on both sides "Limited Edition" on one board, "People's Choice" on the other plus a holographic sticker on the packaging sleeve for the collectors who check for the details. If you're the sort who wants gear that's actually rare in a market flooded with lookalike traction boards, this is it.
Underneath the limited-edition finish, it's still the same MAXTRAX MKII that's been the benchmark for 4WD recovery gear for over two decades:
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.
Aussie-made, backed for life. Designed and manufactured in Australia, backed by a lifetime warranty against faulty materials and workmanship. Each pack includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards and 2 orange telltale leashes.
This is a nod to the community that voted it in the same shared obsession that gets all of us off the blacktop. Production is strictly limited, so if you want a genuine collector's-grade MAXTRAX that still works as hard as any other MKII on the market, don't sit on this one.
6. FAQs
Q: Is this a genuine limited edition, or just a marketing name? A: It's a real limited production run. Maroon was voted the winning colour by the MAXTRAX community (1,400 votes in the final round), and each pair carries exclusive laser engravings "Limited Edition" on one board and "People's Choice" on the other plus a holographic sticker on the packaging. Once this run sells out, it won't be restocked.
Q: Does the limited edition perform the same as a standard MAXTRAX MKII? A: Yes. 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.
Q: What's actually in the box? A: Each set includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards in the Maroon "People's Choice" finish, each with the exclusive laser engraving, plus 2 orange telltale leashes so you can find them if they get 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 for extra traction on both drive axles worth factoring in for heavier rigs running soft sand or deep mud regularly.
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.
Q: What happens once this colour sells out? A: It's a strictly limited production run tied to the community vote once stock is gone, MAXTRAX has confirmed there's no restock planned for this Maroon People's Choice edition.
