ATV Snow Track Buyer's Guide

February 24, 2017

When it comes to getting your ATV through deep snow or super marshy terrain, there is no better solution on the planet than a tried and true track system. Getting a functional track on an ATV presents a unique set of challenges, in that the track must fit into a small location while also functioning effectively on a machine that was never intended to turn tracks. A good set of ATV tracks must not only provide exceptional durability, but they must also effectively reduce the gear ratio enough for the stock ATV drivetrain to reliably turn the much heavier tracks.

A few things are worth noting when shopping for ATV tracks. Some kits come with the brackets necessary to mount to your specific ATV included in the price, and some do not. Also, on ATV's that run a CVT, it is worth doing your homework to see whether the track manufacturer recommends a clutch kit for your application. Clutch kits are very inexpensive and they do make a huge difference in performance.
