What you're really buying is the only recovery track on the market running metal teeth instead of moulded polymer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy XTREME is a step up from every polymer board out there:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e88 hard-anodised alloy teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e – alloy is significantly harder than tyre rubber and more resistant to wear from a spinning tyre than any polymer available today, so you get faster, more secure engagement with your tread pattern. That makes XTREME both the most durable and the fastest recovery track MAXTRAX builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobot-inserted, over-moulded construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – a custom jig on a robot arm places each tooth into the injection mould, then the nylon is over-moulded around it so the material conforms tightly to the thread. Virtually eliminates any risk of a tooth unwinding out of the board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard-anodised for corrosion resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e – every tooth is treated to stand up to saltwater, mud, and harsh environments. Beach and coastal touring won't chew through them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepairable in the field\u003c\/strong\u003e – damage a tooth and you flip the board over, pull it with a T-50 Torx bit, and fit a replacement using MAXTRAX's patent-pending thread and blip-lock system. A damaged board isn't a write-off. (Replacement teeth kits and the custom T-head tool are sold separately.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for professional use\u003c\/strong\u003e – XTREME was developed from direct feedback by elite military units, off-road racing champions, certified 4WD driver trainers and expedition leaders for active combat scenarios, timed motorsport, and remote-area expeditions where aggressive driving and heavy wheel spin are unavoidable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix glove-friendly handles\u003c\/strong\u003e – designed to be grabbed with gloves on, wet, cold, and in a hurry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNests with MAXTRAX MKII\u003c\/strong\u003e – already running MKIIs?

FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many boards do I get for the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: A full pair 2 MAXTRAX XTREME recovery tracks, plus 2 orange telltale leashes. This is not a single-board price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What's the actual difference between XTREME and the MKII?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: The MKII uses moulded polymer cleats; XTREME uses 88 hard-anodised alloy teeth over-moulded into the nylon body. Alloy is harder than tyre rubber and more wear-resistant than any polymer, so engagement with your tread is faster and more secure. The teeth are also individually replaceable in the field. XTREME runs about 9kg per pair versus 6.8kg for the MKII you're trading a little weight for a lot more bite and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this the same red as the MKII FJ Red?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: Both are designed to suit red FJ Cruisers and other red vehicles, though actual colour can vary slightly from the product photos. If you're matching a set of XTREME to existing MKII boards, it's worth checking the images against what you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What happens if I damage a tooth?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: Flip the board, remove the damaged tooth with a T-50 Torx bit, and fit a replacement the patent-pending thread and blip-lock system locks it securely back into its recess. Replacement tooth kits and the T-head tool are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I run these with my existing MAXTRAX MKII boards?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: Yes. XTREME nests with MKII tracks (with a slightly larger gap between them due to the XTREME underside design), and there's a hybrid mounting pin made specifically for mounting a set of XTREME on top of your current MKIIs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the alloy teeth corrode on beach trips?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: All 88 teeth are hard-anodised specifically to protect against corrosion in saltwater and muddy environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is XTREME overkill if I just do the odd beach run?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: For occasional soft-sand work, the MKII does the job well and costs less. XTREME earns its money on hard rocky country, heavy loads, remote touring, motorsport, or commercial and expedition work where a fast, reliable recovery genuinely matters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxtrax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54694019137809,"sku":"MTXXFJR","price":519.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0098\/2571\/4240\/files\/MTXXFJR.full_5000x_254d7bc7-38b2-457e-966b-58da04cec970.webp?v=1789702293","url":"https:\/\/stage1customs.com\/products\/maxtrax-xtreme-red","provider":"Stage1Customs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
