anti-torque linkage and the SCS®
SYSTEM track suspension. The patented rubber torsion
anti-torque linkage prevents LiteFoot™ tracks from flipping
over while in use on rough terrain. The track suspension
comes from LiteFoot’s exclusive SCS®
SYSTEM a “shape changing suspension” that adjusts to the
ground terrain by allowing the leading wheels to move up and
back while the center wheels move down and forward adjusting
to the contours of the terrain without the loss of track
tension. The SCS®
SYSTEM track suspension gives the driver the ability to
negotiate over most obstacles and provides a smooth ride.
LiteFoot™ ATV rubber track conversion offers many other
features and advantages to the ATV owner who equips their ATV

surface contact, LiteFoot™ tracks deliver about 3/4 psi ground
pressure giving the rider both great traction and flotation on

rubber track is specially formulated for long wear, to
maintain its flexibility in extreme cold and provide superior
traction in all weather conditions.
LiteFoot™ is easy to install, using common tools the
conversion can be completed in under 45 minutes. The LiteFoot™
track system is designed for simple maintenance with easy

the drive sprocket is about 1/3 smaller then the tire
delivering more power to your tracks.
