TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS
37
SAFETY INFORMATION
Manoeuvrability
Using traction enhancing products such as, more aggressive
ski carbide runners and/or studs makes the snowmobile grip
the ground better at both the front and 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
depends on your personal preferences, your riding style, and
how your suspension is adjusted.
WARNING
If the front and rear of the snowmobile are out of balance
due to an incorrect combination of traction enhancing
products, the snowmobile may tend to oversteer or under-
steer, which could lead to a loss of control.
Oversteering
In certain conditions, using more aggressive ski carbide run-
ners without studs on the rear track could make the snowmo-
bile prone to oversteering, see illustration.
