Specifications
You should buy tracks for utilitarian ATVs only after a detailed study of the technical characteristics of the product. Particular attention is paid to the dimensions of the track, the front and side overhangs and the weight of the adapters.
Other technical characteristics.
- The size of the canvas is a characteristic indicator of the contact of the product with the road surface (ground clearance, speed reduction, etc.).
- Characteristics of rollers and wheels: type and material of manufacture.
- Availability and technical features of additional spare parts: gears, skids, stabilizers, bearings, etc.
- Duration of installation for the first time (determined solely by convenience).
There are many models available for sale in an online store, so deciding on a product can be difficult. When making a choice, it is recommended to give preference to track models that are suitable for use in any season. Tracks that have enlarged rear tracks and studs also have greater cross-country ability.
Recommendations for selection
In order to choose the right caterpillar, you first need to clearly determine its size.
Important dimensions will be the length, width, as well as the pitch (the pitch is the distance between two adjacent windows) and the lug height level.
So, the length, width, pitch must be similar to the “old” tracks.
There are, of course, a large number of different kinds of descriptions of how tracks for a snowmobile can be converted, but at the moment we are not considering this option.
The length, width and pitch of the track can be easily measured.
But the lug should be chosen based on the operating conditions of the snowmobile, as well as your wishes.
An important characteristic of any snowmobile tracks is their lug height. For each snowmobile it is strictly individual.
If the snowmobile is low-powered (its power is less than 50 hp), then it is not recommended to install a track with a lug higher than 40 mm, due to the possible excessive load on the engine. It may well simply not “pull out”.
For a snowmobile under 69 horsepower, the optimal height should be 29.5 mm.
If you are the happy owner of a powerful snowmobile, then your choice should not be limited only by engine parameters, however, it may be limited by suspension parameters, namely, the size of the suspension tunnel.
This parameter must be measured before purchasing the tracks, otherwise you will have to make a number of alterations in the suspension design itself.
When choosing a track for a snowmobile, you should be guided by the rule: the greater the height of the lug, the greater the snowmobile's cross-country ability in snow, especially deep snow.
However, it is important not to overdo it here.
Now you need to figure out what kind of snow requires the optimal lug height.
When planning to drive on wet and hard snow, ice or loose snow, the toe height should be as low as possible.
The lug for such conditions should be as “even” as possible.
Then the top layer of crust will not break off or jerk, and therefore the snowmobile will easily “run” even through the deepest snow.
The same recommendation applies to compacted snow, but since we have almost no snowmobile trails in the Russian Federation, there is no need to dwell on this point.
If you plan to ride on loose or deep snow, then the lug should be chosen higher: from 32.5 to 39.5 mm. (if the snowmobile allows this height to be set).
In this case, attention should be paid to the shape of the lug. To “write out” a turn, to sharply enter a turn, a reinforced edge of the lug is needed. At the same time, a negative angle of inclination of the lug can add stability
The more active the type of riding you prefer, the more aggressive profiles you need to choose.
At the same time, a negative lug angle can add stability. The more active the type of riding you prefer, the more aggressive profiles you need to choose.
A lug with different height elements is suitable for extreme types of driving. In this case, hitch blocks of different heights will work on different types of load, which will allow you not to lose control in difficult conditions.
Snowmobile track with a toe greater than 49.5 mm. is already mountainous. Thus, the profiles of these tracks are designed for sharp ascent and descent.
It is not recommended to use it under normal conditions, since the snowmobile's cross-country ability in deep snow will significantly deteriorate (the snowmobile will bury).
The pattern of such caterpillars must necessarily resemble many blades, since the main task is to “cut into” and push off from the snow on sloping areas.
That's all the recommendations. It's up to you to choose.
Installation recommendations
After purchasing tracks for ATVs in Moscow, many owners of all-terrain vehicles are faced with the question: install the products themselves or turn to specialists. It is better to entrust the installation, especially the initial one, to specialists. In the absence of personal experience, this will save time, eliminate “incidents” due to incorrect installation and prevent damage to the new spare part, which may require repair after an independent attempt to secure it.
If you still assume that you will install tracks on your ATV yourself, you should know the main rule - complete preliminary assembly is performed before attaching the product to the wheels.
First assembly and installation may take up to 4 hours. In the future the process will go faster. However, it is advisable to contact a specialist for the first time and attend the process in order to know the features of installing tracks in the future.
Technical characteristics of tracks
The technical characteristics of the tracks include all overall dimensions of the track, side and front overhangs, as well as the mass of adapters.
The most important characteristics that you should first pay attention to will be the contact area (contact with the ground), the increase in ground clearance and the reduction in maximum speed, which is usually indicated as a percentage. The type of wheels and rollers, the material from which they are made, as well as additional units in the form of gears, hubs and bearings, a stabilizer, and a guide runner are also considered technical characteristics
The type of wheels and rollers, the material from which they are made, as well as additional units in the form of gears, hubs and bearings, a stabilizer, and a guide runner are also considered technical characteristics.
Manufacturers often indicate the duration of the initial installation of caterpillar tracks on an ATV, which is very convenient.
Today there is a huge variety of tracks for ATVs. When choosing caterpillar models, you should consider the following nuances:
- Track kits are available for both winter use and year-round use. To avoid making a mistake when purchasing, they are marked accordingly. So, in winter, depending on or “snow”. While all-season vehicles are marked “4 seasons”;
- They may be of normal width, or they may have enlarged rear tracks;
- Some options can be additionally equipped with studs, which further increases traction on the surface.
In order to put your pet on caterpillar tracks, you need to purchase a special kit, which consists of several boxes, where 4 tracks are stored in a disassembled state, one to replace each wheel.
Before you start mounting them on the ATV, you need to completely assemble each track separately, and only then start installing the tracks on the ATV.
According to the manufacturers, at first it will take about two hours to assemble the entire kit if there are two people. Over time, assembly can be done much faster.
Since ATVs are often stored outside the city, delivering it to a service center can sometimes be very expensive and problematic, and sometimes it’s simply impossible. In this case, you can use improvised
means and independently replace the wheels with caterpillars with your own hands.
To do this, you need to raise the front or rear part using a jack or winch. Next, remove the wheel and replace the lower bolt with a longer one, which comes with the tracks.
It is very difficult to fit the track drive gear onto the wheel studs. This is due to the fact that the tracks are very heavy, about 20-30 kilograms each. Then it should be secured using special nuts that clamped the wheel itself. When one axis is finished, all actions must be repeated with the remaining axis.
If you are going to transport it on a trailer after installation, you should take into account that after installing the tracks in place, the size of the vehicle increases significantly, both in width and length.
Stealth Tracks
Among the popular models are Stels tracks for utilitarian ATVs, manufactured by a Russian company. One of the advantages is the cost. Domestic tracks are much cheaper.
They have great maneuverability, and what is important is that the tracks are universal. They can be used both on snow and on sandy embankments or rocky surfaces.
Russian-made Stealth tracks are distinguished by high maneuverability, reliability and safety. Stels tracked modules can seriously compete with American products.
Stels tracks
Stealth tracks for ATVs are a Chinese brand that has established itself as a reliable and high-quality product all over the world. It’s no secret that this manufacturer will seriously compete with famous brands from Canada and other leading countries producing components for quads. This is far from the “China” that ordinary technology enthusiasts are used to encountering. Also, we must not forget about the affordable price compared to other manufacturers of caterpillar tracks. Speaking of the cost of Canadian tracks, this amount will be quite enough to purchase a completely new budget ATV. After purchasing this product, adjusting the track to stealth will not take much time
It is important to initially select the right kit that matches the ATV wheel
Price
It is quite clear that the price of track chains cannot cost 30,000 rubles. and even 60,000 rubles. although, given that the products are sold as a set, the average price for one tracked module is about 70 - 100 rubles.
For a set of tracks for ATVs, the price will average 300,000 - 500,000 rubles. Universal models are produced, but also products manufactured taking into account the characteristics of ATV/UTV ATVs are also on sale.
You can buy tracks for a children's ATV at a lower cost, starting from 150,000 rubles. Prices for adult models are higher than for a tracked module for a child. For example, Stealth tracks for an ATV cost about 350,000 rubles.
You need to buy tracks profitably, so our online store not only offers the lowest prices without affecting the quality of spare parts, but also often holds promotions and also gives discounts to regular customers. Our company provides a manufacturer's warranty of 2 years.
What are they?
Taking into account the popularity of both the ATVs themselves and the tracks for them, a fairly wide range of models is presented in the corresponding market segment. It is often quite difficult for beginners to navigate such diversity. When studying manufacturers' proposals for both all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive models, it is recommended to consider the following important points.
- The market offers winter as well as all-season, that is, universal track sets. You can distinguish the first from the second by the markings Winter (Snow) and “4 Seasons”, respectively.
- There are regular (standard) width tracks, as well as sets with larger rear units.
- Some models are additionally equipped with spikes.
When considering the types of structures described, it is necessary to pay attention to the following parameters:
- all overall dimensions;
- front and side overhangs;
- adapter weight;
- the type of wheels and casters included in the kit, as well as the materials from which they are made.
When choosing a specific model, it is important to consider the contact surface area. No less significant is the increase in ATV clearance provided by modernization
