TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS
NOTE:
This section is applicable only
to snowmobile equipped with a track
that as been approved for studs.
Using more positive carbide ski run-
ners and traction enhancing products
on your snowmobile will change its be-
havior, particularly in terms of manoeu-
vrability, acceleration, and braking.
Studding the track gives a better grip
on packed snow and ice, but has
no noticeable effect on soft snow.
For this reason, driving a snowmo-
bile equipped with traction enhancing
products (studs, carbide ski runners)
requires a certain adaptation period.
If your snowmobile is equipped with
traction products, be sure to take plen-
ty of time to get used to the way it
handles when turning, accelerating,
and braking.
Also, always check local regulations
concerning the use of studs on snow-
mobiles. Always drive your snowmo-
bile in a responsible manner, respect-
ing the environment and other peo-
ple’s property.
Manoeuvrability
Studding the track makes the snow-
mobile grip the ground better at the
rear. The use of carbide runners is
therefore required to give the skis a
better grip, so that the front and rear
of the snowmobile are in balance.
While off-the-shelf carbide ski runners
are adequate, they don’t necessarily
give you optimal control, since that de-
pends on your personal preferences,
your riding style, and how your sus-
pension is set.
WARNING
If the front and rear of the snow-
mobile are out of balance due to
an incorrect combination of studs
and runners, the snowmobile may
tend to oversteer or understeer,
which could lead to a loss of con-
trol.
1) Oversteering
In certain conditions, using more pos-
itive carbide ski runners without stud-
ding the track could make the snow-
mobile prone to oversteering, see il-
lustration.

OVERSTEERING
2) Understeering
In certain conditions, the use of studs
could make the snowmobile prone
to understeering if the skis are not
equipped with more positive carbide
runners, see illustration.
