What types of tracks are there for ATVs?


ATV Track Kits

UTVs can provide a lot of fun driving in the snow, but when the snow gets too deep, they need to provide lower ground pressure that regular tires can't provide. This is where track kits come in handy. Tracks are a great solution for snow, mud and other soft surfaces. Most of the kits in this guide can be installed on all popular UTVs.

Track kits from ATV manufacturers

Track kits from UTV manufacturers are designed specifically for specific makes and models of ATVs and come with a warranty to match.

In this section of our online store you can choose and buy tracks for the Tatou series ATV from Camoplast.
Indeed, why not go hunting or fishing next time on your favorite ATV in winter, in deep snow, or in the fall, duck hunting in the swamp? Once the tracks are installed, your ATV will help you fully enjoy hunting, fishing or traveling into unknown places, allowing you to quickly move from one place to another. With a set of tracks for an ATV, the size of the covered area, thanks to the tracked ATV, will increase significantly.

It is enough to try to ride an ATV with tracks once, and you will be amazed by its all-consuming capabilities. The use of ATV tracks is especially effective for those who are interested in hunting migratory and waterfowl (and indeed any) birds. With such a lightweight tracked all-terrain vehicle, it won’t take much effort to change your hunting location. Hills, mudflats or even deep snow are no problem for an ATV equipped with the Tatou track system. Since ATV tracks allow you to reach up to 50% of the speed of a four-wheel drive vehicle on wheels, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can reach hunting and fishing spots that previously seemed out of reach.

Track kit for Tatou ATV

Due to the increased contact area of ​​the ATV's four tracks on the ground compared to the wheels, the ATV's top speed is reduced by approximately half to allow the engine to cope with the load and the owner to control the vehicle. This is easily done by replacing the drive wheel with a gear wheel, so a set of Tatou tracks will allow you to maintain power at the drive shaft of a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle without interfering with its design. The gear drive system is designed by Camoplast engineers specifically for ATVs from Arctic Cat, BRP, Honda, Kawasaki, KYMCO, Polaris, Suzuki, Yamaha and others to provide the best ratio of speed and power for all operating conditions, including deep snow riding. .

In order to buy tracks for an ATV, you need to select the appropriate kit for a specific ATV or UTV model. This can be done by downloading the table (.xls, 214 kb) here. You can decide on the choice of tracks for your ATV by sending your request to our consultant by e-mail. In the text of the request, we ask you to indicate the engine size, model and year of manufacture of your all-terrain vehicle, for example, Yamaha Grizzly, 450 cm3, 2010.

An ATV with the Tatou track system installed will have a width of no more than 145 cm (minimum value 120 cm). The Tatou track kit has been tested on all types of snow surfaces: compacted, loose powder and loose wet, and everywhere it has proven its effectiveness, largely due to the disastrous ratio of travel speed and engine power.

When purchasing tracks for an ATV, you must take into account that the condition of the snow cover can significantly affect the effort required to control the ATV. For example, on compacted snow, steering will be no more difficult than when the car is moving on wheels. An all-terrain vehicle on tracks can tow heavier loads than a wheeled version of the same ATV.

Installing tracks on an ATV takes very little time and can be done in an open and clean area. The first installation of the Tatou track system may require 2-3 hours. Subsequent installation of tracks on the ATV will take no more than an hour. Instructions for installing tracks are in this section.

Crawler tracks come in the following types:

  • winter and all-season. On winter ones there is the designation winter or show, on all-season ones there are 4 seasons

  • with wide rear tracks

Let's look at a few examples of market leaders:

STELS tracks for ATVs

— Chinese STELS tracks for ATVs are in demand no worse than their counterparts from Canada. Their quality refutes the belief that Chinese products are reliable. The big plus of Chinese STELS tracks for ATVs is their cost; it is not high compared to other manufacturers. After all, the price of a set of Canadian analogues is equal to the cost of a whole Chinese ATV.

The rear track plays an important role when choosing, and to be more precise, its area directly depends on the passage qualities. It is important to have a turn limiter, which serves as a load reducer on the CV joints and steering wheel. Also take into account the model of the ATV; the hub mounts may not fit, despite the versatility of the tracks.

You can save money on your purchase by purchasing the goosenecks in disassembled form. But in practice, not everyone manages to assemble such a “puzzle,” so it is better to resort to the assembled version.

And so we finally got to the point characterized by:

Do-it-yourself installation of tracks on an ATV in a garage

I will try to explain to you how to install tracks on an ATV with your own hands in your garage. Very often, your quad is located somewhere outside the city, far from service centers, and delivery to them causes you inconvenience and extra costs. Therefore, it seems to me that there are enough people who want to install the tracks themselves. I hasten to warn you that the upcoming first installation of tracks on an ATV will be difficult for many. It is more convenient to do this procedure together. Installation will take about an hour and a half.

Swimming raft for ATV crossing

Firstly, you need to hang the “front” of the quadric. An auxiliary tool can be a winch, mini crane or jack. We unscrew the hub nuts and place a bracket on the steering knuckle, which serves as a movement guide. To do this, it becomes necessary to replace the lower bolt with the one that should be included in the kit (longer). The most important task is to put the gooseneck drive gear on the hub studs. I warn you right away - it will not be easy, since the goose is quite heavy (weighs about 20 kg) and you have to keep it suspended for a long time. After this, tighten the nuts and pull them in a circle. The front axle is finished. The installation of the tracks on the ATV is complete. The rear is identical to the front.

The video shows the entire process of installing tracks on an ATV in a garage.
