First Time Stud Users FIRST TIME STUD USERS & STUD USERS WHO WANT BETTER SUCCESS, READ CAREFULLY! Saber is the first and only traction products cmpany whose recommendations insure successful studding of the most trail rider's sleds. Saber's measure of track studding success is to tell the trail rider what it takes to achieve 5/16" to 3/8" of stud height above the the track life. We have proven the following facts to be true many times: 1. Under-studding causes most traction related problems 2. Many snowmobile manufacturers either do not know how or are afraid to tell you what you need to stud your sled 3. Stud quantity charts that list such things as "trail riding," "aggressive trail," and "competition" do the customer a huge disservice. There is no way to tell what quantity of studs is right for your riding style because there is no way to accurately put into words what your riding style is. Many "aggressive" riders think that they are "just trail riders" and select the stud quantities from the "trail" chart, which results in under-studding and major problems. 4. The only way to tell how few or many studs you need is by using studs and monitoring your success or failure. Follow our recommendations to help insure prevention of your track failing. 5. Getting a highly studded sled to turn is not a problem and does not require 10" of carbide on your skis. It does require adjusting of your sled's supension. 6. 96 studs on any 600cc snowmobile is a track failure waiting to happen for all but the very mildest of trail riders. MOST female riders do not weigh as much or ride as hard as male riders - consequently, female riders run up to 50% fewer studs than a male rider. 7. Overall snowmobile weight and riding style are more important than just horsepower when determining studding quantities. 8. Burning or cauterizing holes in your track is unnecessary and can cause oversizing of holes. Use the appropriate track cutter tool and keep it sharp. 9. Putting more holes/studs in your track reduces the load per stud hole and is far better than putting less holes/studs in and overloading these holes. 10. Saber has learned these facts the hard way so you do not have to! Saber wants your experience using studs to be satisfying. If you are currently using studs successfully (no bending, breaking, or track damage) don't change quantities unless you are considerably below our recommended quantity for your sled. We never argue with success, but you may be very close to a track failure. Ride responsibly and safely with Saber. We do! |
