  • Publication number: 20240375726
    Abstract: A drive track system for a snowmobile includes a slide rail having a forward section and an aft section. The aft section of the slide rail has a monolithic construction and defines an aftmost wheel station, a second-to-aftmost wheel station forward of the aftmost wheel station and a clearance notch that is at least partially disposed between the aftmost wheel station and the second-to-aftmost wheel station in a longitudinal direction of the slide rail. An aftmost wheel is rotatably coupled to the slide rail at the aftmost wheel station. A second-to-aftmost wheel is rotatably coupled to the slide rail at the second-to-aftmost wheel station. A drive track has a path of travel between the aftmost wheel and the second-to-aftmost wheel such that the drive track and the slide rail form a gap therebetween at the path of travel.
