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:

Trail Riding

Mostly on formalized routes with at least semi-maintained surfaces

  • Groomed snowmobile trails
  • Ungroomed trails that experience enough use to present a generally compacted surface most or all of the time
  • Bare or lightly covered ice that presents special traction challenges

Cross-Country Riding

  • Requires dealing with deeper, looser snow
  • In ditch lines
  • On less-used and completely ungroomed trails
  • Boondocking in remote areas with no trails

Mountain Riding

Requires light weight tracks with maximum traction and floatation to deal with

  • Snow pack with variable top conditions but soft, loose accumulation underneath 
  • Deep powder snow
  • High altitude
  • Steep slopes
