Abstract: An offset track forms a pattern perpendicular to the centerline of the track which enables tracks to be formed with even or odd number of metal inserts and thus accommodate virtually any tracked vehicle. The offset track uses variations in body thickness and lug width to provide a high performance offset track with improved ride, minimum vibration and longer wear. Use of full size and mini-inserts in a single track minimizes the weight and further enhances the performance of an offset track.
