Abstract

A track for a track system includes an endless elastomeric carcass having a wheel-facing side defining a wheel path for engaging wheels of the track system, and a ground-facing side opposite the wheel-facing side. A plurality of lugs project from the wheel-facing side. Each lug has a base and a side wall extending from the base. The base is distanced from the ground-facing side by a first distance. The wheel path has a first track side portion extending adjacent the base of at least some lugs of the plurality of lugs. The base defines an undercut extending between the side wall and the first track side portion of the wheel path. The undercut defines a recess extending inwardly towards a lateral center of the track, and has a bottom. The first distance extends between the bottom of the undercut and the ground-facing side of the track.
