The Complete Guide to ATV & Side-by-Side Snow Tracks

 


❄️ Why Put Snow Tracks on Your ATV or SxS?

Installing a high-quality track system turns your machine into a winter-ready powerhouse. Benefits include:

Go Anywhere Capability

Tracks dramatically increase footprint and traction, allowing you to travel through:

  • Deep snow

  • Soft powder

  • Slush

  • Frozen lakes (where safe)

  • Winter trails

  • Backcountry terrain

4X More Surface Contact Than Tires

This means:

  • Less sinking

  • Better floatation

  • Smoother climbing

  • Increased stability

Year-Round Versatility

Track kits can be used for:

  • Snow plowing

  • Ice fishing

  • Lodge access

  • Winter farming or hauling

  • Backcountry exploration

  • Search & rescue

  • Commercial operations

Superior Towing & Load Capability in Winter

Tracks deliver better pulling performance on snow than any tire setup.


🔥 Why Choose Can-Am Apache Tracks?

The Apache Track System is specifically engineered by BRP for Can-Am ATVs & Side-by-Sides, providing unmatched durability, fitment, and performance.

1. Engineered for BRP Machines

Unlike universal track kits, Apache tracks integrate seamlessly with Can-Am drivetrains and electronics for reliable operation.

2. Maximum Traction & Floatation

Extra-wide tracks offer snowmobile-level performance while maintaining ATV/SxS stability.

3. Multi-Terrain Capability

Apache tracks excel not just in snow, but also in:

  • Mud

  • Swamps

  • Hills

  • Uneven terrain

4. High Ground Clearance

Tracks lift the chassis significantly, reducing the chance of getting stuck.

5. No Seasonal Limits

Switch between tires and tracks as needed — one machine, all seasons.


🟠 FAQ: ATV & Side-by-Side Snow Tracks

Q: Are snow tracks worth it?

A: Yes. Tracks drastically improve winter mobility, safety, and machine usefulness. Riders who need deep-snow capability consider tracks a must-have upgrade.

Q: Can I install tracks myself?

While possible, professional installation is strongly recommended. Tracks require proper alignment, tension, calibration, and ECU adjustments for optimal performance.

Q: How fast can I go with tracks?

Track systems reduce top speed but greatly increase traction and control. Perfect for utility, winter work, and deep-snow recreation.

Q: Do tracks affect fuel consumption?

Yes — expect increased fuel use due to greater rolling resistance. This is normal across all track systems.

Q: Which machines work best with tracks?

Can-Am Outlander, Renegade, Defender, and Maverick models are excellent candidates, especially when paired with Apache tracks.

Q: Can tracks damage my ATV or SxS?

Not when installed properly. Apache tracks are engineered to protect driveline components and maintain reliability.

Q: Can I use tracks all year?

They’re ideal for snow and mud, but for dry dirt or paved surfaces, tires are better.
