  • Adventure motorcyclists routinely confront formidable off-road conditions where their heavy, often fully loaded machines become bogged in soft terrain such as mud, sand, or snow. Unlike 4x4 vehicles, motorcycles lack designated recovery points and are inherently vulnerable to instability and tipping over on yielding ground, resulting in potential damage and rider injury. Maxtrax recognized the pressing need for a lightweight, compact, robust, and versatile recovery system tailored for these specific challenges, incorporating support and storage for remote travel. Riders struggle to extract these heavy machines due to insufficient traction

  • The Maxtrax Moto system furnishes a comprehensive and innovative solution to the multifaceted challenges of motorcycle recovery. The core component comprises a uniquely contoured recovery board, thoughtfully designed with a central tire space and strategically positioned engagement protrusions meticulously optimized to accommodate motorcycle tires. This is ingeniously combined with a blow-molded mounting plate that cleverly doubles as a 2-liter emergency water reservoir. Integrated linkage straps are included, enabling the joining of two boards to create an extended recovery track, and a removable stand plate is incorporated to provide stable support on soft ground, facilitating safe dismounting and preventing falls.

  • The Maxtrax Moto significantly elevates the safety, self-reliance, and overall confidence of adventure motorcyclists venturing into remote and challenging environments. By delivering a dedicated and effective recovery solution, it substantially minimizes the risk of riders becoming stranded and reduces the potential for costly damage to their motorcycles. The integrated water storage and stand support features offer crucial supplementary benefits that are particularly valuable during extended off-road travel. This category-defining product establishes a new and elevated benchmark for motorcycle recovery solutions, promoting responsible exploration and empowering riders to confidently overcome a wider range of challenging situations.

  • Robust Mounting Plate: Excellent blow-molded HDPE forms a versatile, secure mounting platform for adventure motorcycle attachment points like racks and crash bars, ensuring portability. It doubles as an emergency 2-liter water tank for crucial hydration in remote locations. The water tank bungs have been designed to work with motorcycle gloves and can be opened and closed with the mounting plate affixed the motorcycle allowing for easy to access water on the go. Integrated Linkage Straps: Two strong Maxtrax straps are neatly housed, enabling swift end-to-end connection of two Moto Boards. This extended recovery track is vital for enhanced traction in soft terrain like mud, sand, or snow. Secure Board Mounting: The plate securely holds stacked Moto Boards with integrated lockable turn-knuckle latches, preventing unwanted movement or damage during travel. Removable Stand Plate: An easily accessible plate clips onto the stacked boards, providing a stable, wider base for the motorcycle's side stand on uneven ground, preventing tipping. Durable Construction: Maxtrax's proprietary engineering-grade nylon composite ensures the Boards, Linkage Straps, and Stand Mud Plate offer an optimal balance of strength, flexibility, UV, and abrasion resistance for reliable performance. Unmatched Traction: Laser scanning class leading tyres resulted in unmatched board-teeth to tyre-tread engagement.
