If you love driving in snowy or muddy conditions only, rubber tracks can deliver superior performance with exceptional traction and flotation properties.
The rubber design ensures superior grip and maneuverability while offering a smooth and comfortable ride without causing harsh vibrations, jolts, or impacts to your Polaris in other ways.
On the other hand, Polaris Sportsman Touring hybrid tacks offer a blend of the benefits associated with rubber tracks while infusing metal components, enhancing durability as these tracks typically feature a rubberized tread with embedded metal lugs or spikes for added durability and traction.
Hybrid tracks provide the best of both worlds, delivering optimal traction on various terrains while boasting increased resistance to wear and tear.
Choosing between rubber and hybrid tracks for your Polaris Sportsman Touring depends on the terrain you'll be traversing and your specific requirements.
If you are looking for soft surface tracks, go with rubber while hybrid tracks should be bought by those who want to drive even on rougher terrain.
Floatation refers to the ability of a vehicle to remain on soft surfaces such as snow without sinking and is also a very important factor to consider when buying Polaris Sportsman Touring tracks.
Those tracks with higher floatation numbers are able to stay on top better while those with a lower number are not.
Rubber tracks tend to have better floatation numbers because they are lighter which brings us to the second factor you need to think about - weight.
Make sure to go for a track setup that is able to withstand the weight of your Sportsman Touring (between 750 and 900 pounds) and all of the mods you added to it.
Lastly, tracks with aggressive lug patterns and deep tread grooves provide superior grip and enhanced performance while those with more docile treads are better for occasional slow on-road use.
You need to take a close look at the materials used in manufacturing the tracks ensuring they are of high quality and are able to last a long time.
Robust steel frames, durable plastic components, and other parts that can withstand wear and tear from rough terrain are instrumental.
Apart from material quality, assessing track dimensions, wear resistance, beefy track lugs, and balanced tread patterns are also welcome when choosing the best Polaris Sportsman Touring tracks.
Lastly, always be sure to inspect and clean off your tracks when you aren’t using them and try to store them as recommended by the manufacturer.
