Two-Ply Snowmobile Stud Kit, 1.325 and 1.375 Lengths: Polaris, Yamaha, Arctic Cat, Ski-Doo
Two-ply tracks are the conventional construction on most Polaris, Arctic Cat, and Yamaha sleds and on Ski-Doo models before the single-ply era. Two-ply studs use a push-through design with a backer or support plate. This page compares three two-ply stud systems on manufacturer-published specifications, including Woody's Signature Series, which is Woody's stainless two-ply stud.
In the Fast-Trac track database, 1,906 sled fitments use a two-ply track: Polaris 953, Arctic Cat 517, Yamaha 241, and Ski-Doo 195. For the common 1.25-inch lug, Fast-Trac specifies the 1.325-inch or 1.375-inch Top Gun II depending on the sled; Woody's 1325 series is its equivalent length family.

Specifications were read from each manufacturer's public product page on September 9, 2026 and may change. All prices are the manufacturer's MSRP as published on its own website on that date. Installed prices add each manufacturer's published stud price (nut included) to its published backer or support-plate price, using the plainest finish for the low end and a powder-coated color for the high end. Fast-Trac prices already include the backer and nut, and every backer color is the same price.
