REVIVE YOUR RIDE SNOWMOBILE TRACKS

A TRACK ISN’T JUST A TRACK Modern snowmobile tracks are highly engineered products. Properties like weight, strength, floatation, traction, cost, longevity, and even aerodynamics must be taken into account when engineering a track. Camoplast tracks equip over 90% of all new sleds built. Snowmobile manufacturers do a great job of selecting tracks for their machines, and stock tracks do a fine job for general riding. But as tracks continue to improve, you have the opportunity to upgrade an older machine with a newer track for better performance, or to tailor a new machine to better suit where...

THE RIGHT TRACK FOR THE BEST RIDE The key to selecting the right track for the way YOU ride is to carefully consider where and how you actually do ride. Is top speed really all that important? Or do you really want better acceleration and shorter stopping distances. And what kind of handling do you want – nailed to the trail or loose so you can slide the tail of the sled? There are three basic types of (non-competitive) riding: Trails Riding Mostly on formalized routes with at least semi-maintained surfaces • Groomed snowmobile trails • Ungroomed trails that experience enough use to present...

SIZE IT UP There are four critical dimensions to a snowmobile track: length, width, drive pitch, and lug height. You need to know all of them for your sled to select the correct replacement track to revive your ride. Length The length is the inside circumference of the track, and is calculated as the drive pitch (see below) times the number of track segments. Must be correct to nearest inch for proper fit without additional modifications to the skid frame.* • Shorter tracks generally provide better handling • Longer tracks generally provide better ride quality and better floatation...

Lug Height In basic terms, more lug height equals better traction. Even one quarter of an inch in extra height can make a substantial difference in acceleration and braking. And newer lug designs can improve side bite and reduce fishtailing for better stability. Less than 50% off trail e deep snow & climbing Recommended lug height by user segment Extreme deep snow & climbing Check for adequate clearance before going to a taller lug track.

ICE TECH TRACKS When it comes to traction and control on icy surfaces, nothing beats the ability to bite and grip like metal track studs. Only Camoplast ICE Tech tracks are pre-studded at the factory to eliminate costly, tedious, and time consuming stud installation. Our proprietary “sharp tip” lug studs offer comparable performance to conventional track studs with considerable advantages including big weight savings because they add less than one pound to the weight of the track. Performance Improve • Traction and control on ice and hard pack snow surfaces • Rider confidence • Gas mileage...
