How many studs for a 120 track
The two main deciders of the quantity of snowmobile studs for a track are engine power and track length. In many cases a shorter track can have more studs than a longer track. This is due to the spacing between lugs, referred to as the drive pitch. The pitch comes in 2.52, 2.86 and 3.00.

Engine Size Recommendations
2 Per Row Pattern
The 2 per pattern is ideal for 600 and smaller engines. It is also the recommendation from Ski-Doo for all sized engines but may leave some aggressive riders wanting more traction.
3 Per Row Pattern
The 3 per row pattern is common on the 600, 800 and 850. It offers great traction for those wanting to ride more aggressive.
4 Per Row Pattern
4 studs per window pattern should only be run on high horsepower machines equipped with a 2-ply track. To find out if you have a 2-ply or a 1-ply track, enter your snowmobile information in our stud finder.
Quick Reference Summary
Choose your stud pattern based on engine size and riding style. Higher horsepower engines can handle more studs, but always verify your track's ply rating before running maximum quantities.
