Abstract
The endless track is made of a reinforced rubber material with longitudinally spaced and transversely disposed ridges or lugs. It is particularly well-adapted for recreational snowmobiles having a single track. The ground-engaging side of the track features a tread pattern that is repeated uniformly or not over the entire length of the track. The tread pattern comprises a plurality of projecting traction lugs each an upper edge having which together delimit the general outline of a cross-sectional transversal traction lug profile when viewed along a longitudinal direction. The track is characterized in that the traction lug profile comprises a substantially flat central or interior section and two opposite exterior or lateral sections located on the sides of the interior section and that taper toward the exterior. Such track facilitates the steering capabilities of a snowmobile, particularly when the snowmobile is travelling on hard and abrasive surfaces. It also improves the durability of the track.
