Abstract
The invention relates to a snowmobile endless track belt of the type having a body made of an elastomeric material, an outer surface for contact with the ground and an inner surface provided with lugs for engagement with the snowmobile driving system and with at least one endless pathway that contacts a corresponding slide rail of the snowmobile suspension. The elastomeric material, in at least the area which is contacted by the slide rail, is composed of rubber and of a lubricating material so that friction generated between the slide rail and a driven belt is greatly reduced by the presence of such lubricating material in the elastomeric material.
