MAXTRAX MKII Pure Purple, Genuinely Different, Still Genuinely Tough
Most rigs on the track are running black, orange, or grey MAXTRAX. Pure Purple is the colourway for the 4WDer who wants their gear to look as individual as their build. It's a genuinely uncommon colour in the MAXTRAX range, which means it stands out on the roof rack, at camp, and on the trail, without giving up a single bit of the performance that's made MAXTRAX the benchmark recovery board for over two decades.
In stock now — this colour comes and goes, so if you want it, grab it while it's here.
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. MAXTRAX are designed and manufactured in Australia and come with a lifetime warranty against faulty materials and workmanship. Each pack includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can find them again if they get buried in the recovery.
Not just for 4WDs. Sand, mud, snow, MAXTRAX MKII works just as well recovering ATVs, UTVs, caravans and camper trailers as it does your Cruiser or Hilux.
Don't head off the black top without a proper recovery plan. Grab a set of MAXTRAX MKII Pure Purple in stock now and get back on track in seconds, not hours.
6. FAQs
Q: Is Pure Purple actually in stock, or is this a pre-order? A: In stock and ready to ship now.
Q: Is this a common colour, or a rarer one in the range? A: It's one of the less common colourways MAXTRAX produces, so it's a good option if you want your recovery gear to look a bit different from the standard orange, black, or grey most people run.
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: 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.
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's actually in the box? A: Each set includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards (Pure Purple) and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can locate the boards if they end up buried during a recovery.
