  • Publication number: 20210078655
    Abstract: A track system for traction of an off-road vehicle such as a snowmobile or an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The track system comprises a track-engaging assembly and a track disposed around the track-engaging assembly. The track system may be configured to have a reduced noise profile so as to generate less noise, enhanced track rigidity characteristics to improve its traction and floatation, and/or other features improving use and performance of the off-road vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20110155482
    Abstract: An endless snowmobile track for traction of a snowmobile. The endless snowmobile track comprises a ground-engaging outer side for engaging the ground on which the snowmobile travels and an inner side for engaging at least one drive wheel of the snowmobile. The inner side comprises a friction drive surface for frictional engagement with the at least one drive wheel such that, when each of the at least one drive wheel rotates, friction between the friction drive surface and the at least one drive wheel moves the endless snowmobile track to propel the snowmobile on the ground. An endless all-terrain vehicle (ATV) track for traction of an ATV is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6935708
    Abstract: A track for a vehicle travelling on all terrain, especially those displaying ruts, is formed of an endless longitudinal body displaying a series of longitudinally spaced drive lugs on its inner surface and a series of longitudinally spaced profiles on its outer surface. Each profile displays a height decreasing in value from the center of the body to the outer edge thereof. The body is formed of flexible rubber material and is free of conventional transversally extending reinforcing embedded rods thus providing reduced transverse rigidity to the body and allowing the body to curvingly flex when engage in ruts.
