WHY IGRIP

Why choose
snowmobile studs?

Snowmobile track studs add grip on ice and hard-packed surfaces. A compatible stud setup can improve traction and control; the benefit depends on the surface and riding conditions.

01

Less spin. Better fuel efficiency.

When less power is lost to track spin on slippery surfaces, fuel use may fall. The benefit depends on the surface, snowmobile setup and riding style.

02

Turn traction into speed.

Better grip can improve acceleration and achievable speed when traction is the limiting factor, putting more power into forward motion.

03

More stable cornering.

A more secure hold on icy surfaces helps your snowmobile feel more stable and predictable, especially through corners.

04

An edge over unstudded tracks.

On ice, the extra bite gives you a traction advantage over a comparable snowmobile running an unstudded track.

05

An investment in every ride.

We believe dependable grip is one of the best investments you can make in your snowmobile — for control, confidence and performance.

06

A wide choice for your track.

Our ST and SS range offers different stud lengths and designs for different tracks. Use the finder to match the right studs to your exact variant.

02 / CHOOSE YOUR STUD

ST vs SS:
which studs fit?

ST studs suit trail riding, corners and ice; SS studs are designed for more aggressive riding. Track compatibility comes first: follow the recommendation for your exact variant.

MORE AGGRESSIVE RIDING

SS series

We designed SS studs for more aggressive riding on trails and ice.

SS series iGrip shouldered studs
Cobra 1.352″ and Ripsaw II: their narrow, flexible lugs require ST-19R. We do not recommend SS models for these variants.

03 / PLAN YOUR QUANTITY

How many studs
do you need?

The number of studs depends on your track model and placement pattern. Use the quantities in your selected track table. For a repeating pattern, the calculator counts complete repetitions and any remaining rows.

Length ÷ pitch ≈ rows

Pitch is the distance between repeating track rows. Use the same units for length and pitch.

137″ ÷ 2.86″ ≈ 48 rows

3 479.8 mm ÷ 72.644 mm ≈ 48 rows.

Rows × average studs per row

48 rows × 4 studs = 192 studs.
For a 5–4–4 pattern: (5 + 4 + 4) ÷ 3 = 4⅓, so 48 × 4⅓ = 208 studs.

Do not round 4⅓ down to 4.3. For patterns that do not divide evenly, count complete repetitions and the remaining rows.

04 / INSTALL WITH CONFIDENCE

How to install
snowmobile studs.

Follow these six steps with the placement diagram for your selected track. Check pilot-hole depth, stud insertion depth and protrusion separately: they are different measurements.

  1. 01

    Identify your track

    Check the exact model, lug height and whether holes are already prepared.

  2. 02

    Choose the stud & pattern

    Consider the stiffness of the track lugs and whether the pattern repeats every 3 or 6 rows.

  3. 03

    Mark the positions

    Check their position relative to the tunnel protectors.

  4. 04

    Prepare the holes

    Do not apply one drilling depth to all tracks. For variants with prepared holes, follow their separate section.

  5. 05

    Screw in the studs

    The grey area represents rubber. Distinguish stud insertion depth from protrusion above the rubber: neither is the same as the pilot-hole drilling depth.

  6. 06

    Inspect & maintain

    Inspect the complete pattern and stud positions. For Ripsaw II, regularly check the insertion depth. If necessary, screw the studs in further to the position shown in the track diagram.

Bombardier Gen4 & Gen5: for Ripsaw 1″, Ripsaw 1.25″ and Silent Drive II 1.25″, do not place studs in the centre of the track when tunnel protection is fitted at the front and centre.

QUICK ANSWERS

Snowmobile stud
questions, answered.

Do I need to drill my snowmobile track before fitting studs?+

Not every track needs drilling. Some variants have factory-prepared holes. Select the exact variant in the track finder and follow its drilling instructions. Cobra 1.6″ has separate drilling dimensions for additional ST-19R studs.

What do the green dots in the stud placement diagrams mean?+

The meaning depends on the track. On Cobra 1.6″, green dots identify additional ST-19R studs. Other track tables use green dots for an alternative or full pattern. Read the quantity column labels before combining or comparing stud counts.

What is the difference between drilling depth, insertion depth and protrusion?+

Drilling depth is the depth of the pilot hole. Insertion depth is the length of the stud inside the rubber. Protrusion is the part above the rubber. These measurements are not interchangeable: follow both the drilling specification and the stud illustration for your selected track.
