Abstract
An elastomeric endless track for use on tracked vehicles or with wheel replacing traction assemblies is provided. The track generally comprises a ground-engaging outer surface provided with traction lugs generally disposed longitudinally according to a traction lug pitch, and a wheel-engaging inner surface provided with drive lugs disposed longitudinally according to a drive lug pitch and guide lugs disposed longitudinally according to a guide lug pitch. Such a track comprises the feature of having the guide lug pitch and/or the length of the guide lugs chosen so as to reduce the distance between consecutive guide lugs in order to reduce and/or prevent occurrences of detracking.
