MAXTRAX XTREME Ghost White 88 Alloy Teeth. Mission-Critical Traction. Strictly Limited.
This isn't an MKII in a different colour. XTREME is a different class of recovery track entirely.
Where every other recovery board on the market relies on moulded polymer cleats, MAXTRAX XTREME runs 88 hard-anodised alloy teeth robot-inserted and over-moulded directly into a heavy-duty engineering-grade reinforced nylon body. Metal teeth bite into your tyre tread harder and faster than any polymer track can, which means less spin, less digging, and a quicker recovery when conditions are genuinely ugly.
It was built that way for a reason. MAXTRAX developed XTREME from direct feedback by elite military units, off-road racers and expedition leaders people who can't afford a slow recovery or a failed board a long way from help. This is the board for when the stakes are real.
What makes XTREME different from the MKII:
-
88 hard-anodised alloy teeth – harder than any polymer track, with faster and more reliable tyre engagement when you need traction immediately.
-
Robot-inserted and over-moulded – each tooth is machine-placed into the injection mould so the nylon conforms tightly to the thread, virtually eliminating the risk of a tooth unwinding out of the body.
-
Field-replaceable teeth – damage a tooth on a rock ledge and you can swap it out on the track with a T-50 Torx bit, thanks to MAXTRAX's patent-pending thread and blip-lock system. No board write-off, no waiting on a warranty claim.
-
Corrosion-resistant – the hard-anodised finish stands up to salt, sand and water, so beach and coastal touring won't chew through them.
-
Nests with MAXTRAX MKII – already running MKIIs? XTREME stacks with them for compact storage.
-
Compatible with MAXTRAX mini and linking kits – join boards together to build portable roadways across long soft sections.
-
Mounts with hybrid pins – secure them properly to your rack or bar work rather than leaving them loose in the back.
-
Six glove-friendly handles – designed to be handled with gloves on, in the cold, in the wet, in a hurry.

6. FAQs
Q: How many boards do I get for the price? A: You get a full pair of 2 MAXTRAX XTREME recovery tracks, plus orange telltale leashes. This is not a single-board price.
Q: What's the actual difference between XTREME and the MKII? A: The MKII uses moulded polymer cleats; XTREME uses 88 hard-anodised alloy teeth over-moulded into the nylon body. The metal teeth grip your tyre tread harder and engage faster than polymer, and they're individually replaceable in the field if one gets damaged. XTREME is also roughly 9.2kg per pair versus 6.8kg for the MKII, so you're trading a bit of weight for serious extra bite.
Q: What happens if I damage a tooth? A: You replace just that tooth, on the spot, using a T-50 Torx bit and MAXTRAX's patent-pending thread and blip-lock system. You don't lose the board.
Q: Can I use these alongside my existing MAXTRAX MKII boards? A: Yes. XTREME nests with MKII tracks for compact storage, mounts with hybrid pins, and works with MAXTRAX mini and linking kits if you want to build a longer portable roadway.
Q: Will the alloy teeth rust on beach trips? A: The teeth are hard-anodised specifically for corrosion resistance, so salt and sand exposure is accounted for in the design.
Q: Is Ghost White really limited? A: Yes, it's a limited edition colourway, so availability is finite compared to the standard XTREME range.
Q: Is XTREME overkill if I just do the odd beach run? A: For occasional soft-sand work, the MKII does the job well and costs less. XTREME earns its money when you're running hard rocky country, heavy loads, remote touring, or commercial/expedition work where a fast, reliable recovery genuinely matters.
