Another 1st from Mattracks!
Introducing LiteFoot M3 and the M3 UR Models ATV Track Conversion System
The Awesome M3 “Monster Mountain Mattracks”

Mattracks, Inc. announces the release of the new LiteFoot M3 Model Series. The AWESOME M3 “MONSTER MOUNTAIN MATTRACKS” is the latest in a series of four ATV track systems introduced by Mattracks in the past year. Another first from the industry leader Mattracks.

The LiteFoot M3 is engineered with a focus on snow mobility, available in two versions, the M3 and the higher weight rated M3 “Ultra-Ride” [for utility ATVs].

Key features in the M3 track design include; the 6 inch longer, 13 inch wide track, and deep paddle treads [1 3/4 inch high], putting down an incredibly large foot print for a monstrous grip on the snow.

The new 13 inch wide track provides high flotation and excellent lift in powder snow. Adding up the total surface area of the four tracks, you have a contact patch that is more than 2200 square inches. The semi-rigid, paddle lugs are engineered with several design advancements including a 1 3/4 inch high lug for a more aggressive bite.

The LiteFoot M3 deep lugged track is specially designed to take advantage of LiteFoot’s internal suspension, the exclusive Shape Changing Suspension (SCS), resulting in an incredibly smooth ride, even with the more aggressive paddle style tread.

Mattracks offers a running board fender protector, which acts as a fender and foot guard saver, to protect the track lugs, foot guards and inside fender from occasional track contact. The skid plate style running board will be required on most installations to protect the track and ATV fenders from damage.

The LiteFoot M3 track system was based on the original LiteFoot track system, which is designed for all-seasons and all-terrains. LiteFoot has proven itself the most versatile ATV track conversion system on the market. The LiteFoot two M3 models are scheduled for release in January 2006 and join the two previous new releases; the LiteFoot XT track tread and the LiteFoot Ultra-Ride model released earlier in 2005.

Mattracks Introduces the LiteFoot XT tread for eXtra Traction

Mattracks, Inc. is pleased to introduce the new LiteFoot ATV track system for 2006, featuring a more refined, cast aluminum frame and the optional LiteFoot XT (Xtra Traction) rubber track. The newly designed cast aluminum frame not only has a more refined look, with cleaner lines and smoother castings, but includes structural enhancements which will allow for additional features in the future.

The LiteFoot XT track is designed for all-seasons and all-terrains just like the original track, offering several design advancements including a 1 inch deep lug for a more aggressive bite. When developing the new LiteFoot XT track tread, a number of factors had to be taken into consideration; ride comfort, vibration, handling, noise, and track efficiency. Mattracks didn’t want to sacrifice the smooth ride of the original track just to introduce a more aggressive tread, they did their homework first. The LiteFoot XT deep lugged track is specially designed to take advantage of LiteFoot’s internal suspension, the exclusive Shape Changing Suspension (SCS), resulting in an incredible ride.

During initial testing and comparisons between the original tread pattern and the XT, the XT tread was found to deliver improved traction, easier steering, and yet give an exceptionally smooth ride without lug induced vibration. The original tread will still come as the standard tread, with the LiteFoot XT tread as an option and a direct replacement to the original tread.

For work or play, MATTRACKS, manufactures the most technologically advanced, independent, rubber track system in the world for ATVs, SUV and Trucks up to 1 ½ tons. LiteFoot tracks can be enjoyed all year round in mud, snow, sand, through swamps and rough terrain, LiteFoot ATV tracks will get you out there and back again!

ATV Illustrated Magazine team make a 500 mile Alaska Trek using LiteFoot Tracks!

The ATV Illustrated Magazine team originally planned to follow the Iron Dog Snowmobile Race across Alaska on LiteFoot equipped Bombardier ATVs, but due to the unusually warm weather in Alaska the Iron Dog snowmobile race was canceled.  This is only the second time in 20 years of the Iron Dog Race that the race has been canceled.  As a result the scheduled ATV crossing of Alaska on the historic 1,100 mile Iditarod Trail was changed into an alternate trip. The new route covered a 500 mile trek which included trails in the scenic Denali National Park region of Alaska.

MATTRACKS supplied the LiteFoot ATV Track Conversions for the ATVs and their cargo trailers for the expedition. Learn more about the trip the equipment and the spectacular locations, by following the story as it unfolds in the next few issues of ATV Illustrated Magazine, due out on newsstands.
