Snowmobile Studs for 1" Track
The 1.000" lug is a common lug height on entry level snowmobiles and was a popular track on the flagship trail models in the early 00s. Ski-Doo equipped their XP chassis sleds with a singly ply version for a few years and use it on their current model Neo sleds.
RECOMMENDED STUD SIZE
For 1.000" lug tracks • 3/8" penetration • Optimal performance
The 1.000" lug height was the standard for flagship trail sleds in the early 2000s, representing the optimal balance between traction and track durability for that era's snowmobile design philosophy.
Technical Specifications
The recommended size for the 1 inch lug track is a 1.175" snowmobile stud. This stud will measure 3/8" over the lug, giving you great bite and ideal long term wear.
Optimal Backer Selection
The ideal backer to pair with a stud this size is our XL series backers, which is the default backer in our stud kits. This combination ensures proper load distribution and maximum track life.
Proper Measurement Technique
Critical Measurement Guidelines
To measure your lug, make sure to measure from the top of the track as the bottom is not counted in the lug height and will result in an inaccurate number.
Step 1: Locate the track surface (top of track)
Step 2: Measure from track surface to lug tip
Step 3: Verify measurement is exactly 1.000"
This lug height is frequently found on entry-level snowmobiles where moderate traction needs are balanced with cost considerations. It provides adequate performance for recreational trail riding without the complexity of taller lug configurations.
Ski-Doo XP Chassis Considerations
Ski-Doo's XP chassis models featured single-ply versions of this track height, requiring special attention to stud selection and installation techniques to prevent track damage.
