MAXTRAX Moto Board MTXMBTG – Compact Recovery for Adventure Motorcycles

Adventure riding can take you well beyond the reach of conventional roadside assistance, where being prepared for changing terrain becomes part of the journey. The MAXTRAX Moto Board MTXMBTG has been specifically developed for adventure motorcycle riders who want a lightweight, compact and practical self-recovery solution.

Rather than adapting traditional 4x4 recovery equipment for motorcycles, MAXTRAX designed the Moto Board specifically around the narrower tyre footprint and limited carrying capacity of adventure bikes.

Designed Specifically for Adventure Motorcycles

The Moto Board is designed around the needs of adventure and dual-sport motorcycle riders, providing a recovery board sized specifically for motorcycle tyres rather than ATV or 4x4 applications.

Its compact dimensions make it practical to carry on a motorcycle while still providing a useful traction surface when riding conditions become difficult.

Whether travelling through sand, mud or other challenging terrain, the Moto Board is designed to help provide the additional traction needed to get moving again.

More Than Just a Recovery Board

One of the standout features of the MAXTRAX Moto Board is its multifunctional design.

The system incorporates several useful features into one compact package, including:

Two motorcycle-specific recovery boards
Integrated 2L water reservoir
Stabilising kickstand plate
Concealed linkage straps
Integrated mounting base
Mounting points for additional security

This combination gives adventure riders more functionality without requiring them to carry multiple separate pieces of equipment.

Integrated 2L Water Reservoir

Long-distance adventure riding requires careful consideration of what equipment and supplies you carry.

The Moto Board incorporates an integrated 2-litre water reservoir into its mounting base, providing additional carrying capacity without requiring a separate water container.

The reservoir forms part of the overall Moto Board system and is designed to make better use of the space already occupied by the recovery equipment.

Built-In Kickstand Plate

Another useful feature is the integrated kickstand plate.

Designed to provide a more stable surface for the motorcycle's kickstand, the plate can be particularly useful when parking on softer ground where a conventional kickstand could sink into the surface.

This adds another practical function to the Moto Board beyond vehicle recovery.

Lightweight and Compact

Adventure motorcycles have limited payload and storage capacity, making weight an important consideration when selecting recovery equipment.

The complete Moto Board system weighs approximately 2.9kg, while the two recovery boards alone weigh approximately 1.5kg.

The mounting base weighs approximately 1.1kg without water.

This lightweight construction makes it easier to incorporate the system into an adventure bike setup without adding unnecessary bulk.

Strong, Lightweight Materials

MAXTRAX uses a combination of engineered materials throughout the Moto Board system.

The recovery boards are manufactured from UV-stabilised glass-filled Nylon, while the mounting components use reinforced and mineral-filled materials.

The linkage straps are also manufactured from glass-filled Nylon, while the fasteners are marine-grade stainless steel.

The result is a system designed to cope with vibration, weather exposure and the demands of off-road motorcycle travel.

Secure Motorcycle Mounting

The Moto Board system is designed to mount directly to suitable pannier racks or frame tubing using standard M6 fasteners.

Multiple mounting slots and holes provide flexibility when positioning the system to suit the motorcycle and available mounting points.

The integrated mounting base also incorporates points for padlock security.

Before installation, the mounting location should always be checked to ensure the system is securely supported and does not interfere with the motorcycle's operation, suspension, exhaust or other components.

Concealed Linkage Straps

The Moto Board incorporates concealed linkage straps, allowing the two recovery boards to work together while keeping the overall system neat and organised.

This integrated approach means the recovery equipment, mounting system and supporting components remain together as one dedicated motorcycle recovery system.

Built for Remote Adventure

The MAXTRAX Moto Board was developed specifically for riders who may travel through remote and unpredictable terrain, including those riding solo.

Its purpose is simple: provide a compact recovery solution that is always available when traction disappears.

By combining traction boards, water storage, kickstand support and mounting hardware into one system, the Moto Board provides more functionality without requiring a large recovery kit.

MAXTRAX DNA

The Moto Board carries the same design philosophy that has made MAXTRAX recovery equipment popular with off-road users: safety, simplicity, strength and practical recovery capability.

Like the wider MAXTRAX recovery-board range, the Moto Board is manufactured in Australia and backed by a lifetime warranty against faulty materials and workmanship, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.

A Complete Motorcycle Recovery System

The MAXTRAX Moto Board MTXMBTG is more than a compact recovery track.

With motorcycle-specific traction boards, a 2L water reservoir, integrated kickstand plate, concealed linkage straps and a dedicated mounting base, it provides adventure riders with a multifunctional system designed around the realities of travelling on two wheels.
