Abstract
A track system for traction of a vehicle (e.g., a snowmobile, an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) etc.) including a track and a track-engaging assembly for driving and guiding the track around the track-engaging assembly. The track system has features to enhance its performance. The track may include reinforcing material (e.g., reinforcing polymeric material) that is stronger (e.g., stiffer, harder, and/or more resistant to wear) than elastomeric material of the track, such as to improve rigidity characteristics of the track, reduce noise generated by the track system, improve a resistance to wear of the track, enhance heat management (e.g., improve heat dissipation or reduce heat build-up) within the track, and/or reduce a weight of the track. The reinforcing material may be provided as one or more thin layers constituting at least part (e.g., of a periphery) of one or more components of the track (e.g., a carcass, traction projections, and/or drive/guide lugs).
