Understanding the Camso Cobra Track
The Cobra snowmobile track by Camso is one of the most popular tracks used for trail and crossover snowmobiles due to its great performance in loose snow. Unlike lug heights on most tracks, the Cobra's varies at certain points due to 0.1" knobs on top of the lug, and these knobs count towards the overall height. This unique design requires careful consideration when selecting snowmobile studs for optimal performance.
Cobra Track Specifications
- 1.352" Cobra: Actual lug height ~1.25"
- 1.6" Cobra: Actual lug height ~1.500"
- Knob height: 0.1" added to base lug
Recommended Kit Sizing
For 1.352" Cobra Track
As you can see from the picture, the vast majority of the 1.352" Cobra track comes in at 1.25", and for this reason our recommended length is our 1.375" Top Gun Kit.
For 1.6" Cobra Track
The same principle applies to the 1.6" Cobra - it has a lug close to 1.500", so we recommend our 1.625" Top Gun Kit.
Why This Sizing Matters
This lug sizing has confused a lot of people, and rightly so, as it goes against 30+ years of conventional lug-to-stud sizing on paper. The key is understanding that the Cobra's unique knob design affects how we measure and match stud lengths.
⚠️ Important Considerations
For those who like to run a more aggressive stud length than the recommended 1/4"-3/8" penetration, keep in mind the Cobra is a softer track that will flex more and expose the stud to more stress, which can lead to premature wear.
