How many studs for a 136 track
The 136" track was the original cross over track. It was found on earlier stage cross over models and 2-up sleds. At one point it was even considered a mountain track! Times have changed a little bit. It's not the most common track on new snowmobiles but you'll find it on the 2022-25 Polaris XCR model and occasional utility sled.
