Grizzly Tracks™ – Built for Strength, Engineered for Longevity
Grizzly Tracks™ are heavy-duty rubber tracks designed for skid steers, track loaders, and excavators. Our PR Series track design is the same high-quality specification many OEM manufacturers install on new equipment. Built with our balanced Bear Rubber blend and advanced features such as X-Stream Roller Guard™ and EdgeGuard™ Protection, these tracks deliver OEM-level performance, fewer de-tracking events, and long service life across a wide range of compact equipment.
Grizzly Tracks™ are so widely trusted that many equipment dealerships and independent mechanics purchase them for resale under their own programs — offering a superior replacement at a better value to keep their customers coming back. This trust is reflected in the industry: World Construction Today ranks Grizzly as one of the top three manufacturers of replacement rubber tracks, and the brand has earned a Google Top Quality Score thanks to its consistent performance and customer satisfaction.
Manufacturing Excellence
| Feature | Grizzly Tracks™ | Typical Aftermarket Tracks |
|---|---|---|
|
Adhesive Application |
Each steel core (“embed”) is individually sprayed with adhesive for a uniform, high-strength bond between rubber and metal, preventing delamination. | Cores are dipped in bulk adhesive, often leaving gaps and weak rubber-to-metal bonds. |
| Vulcanization | Tracks are molded and vulcanized as one seamless piece of rubber, making them more resistant to splitting and premature wear. | Many tracks are assembled from multiple glued components, which can separate under stress. |
| Material Balance | Grizzly Tracks™ use a blend of virgin and synthetic rubber, carbon black, and anti-aging compounds — which we refer to as our Bear Rubber. This balanced recipe slows natural degradation and produces a rubber that is strong, durable, and long-lasting. | Competitors may advertise “100 % virgin rubber” or use excessive fillers—either extreme leads to softer, fast-wearing tracks or brittle compounds that crack early. |
| Testing & Quality Control | Every design undergoes advanced modeling, FEM analysis, and real-world testing to ensure consistent performance and extended service life. | Testing is often limited or outsourced, leading to inconsistent quality. |
Exclusive Grizzly Tracks™ Features
-
X-Stream Roller Guard™: Optimizes the roller path, reduces vibration, and keeps the track in alignment—delivering fewer de-tracking events and longer undercarriage life.
-
Tapered Core Metals: Engineered geometry improves contact with the undercarriage to reduce stress points and extend component life.
-
Anti-Cut Rubber Compounds: Specially formulated to resist cuts and chunking, keeping the tread intact longer on rough terrain.
-
EdgeGuard™ Protection: A reinforced edge design with added rubber volume shields high-wear areas, minimizing edge-cut damage where tracks typically fail first.
-
Anti-Rust Steel Cord: Treated cords resist corrosion from moisture and chemicals, protecting the track from the inside out.
Tread Depth & Design Philosophy
Specific tread depth comparisons aren’t published because Grizzly Tracks™ tread measurements vary by model and tread pattern. For example, a block pattern track designed for durability on hard, abrasive surfaces will have a different lug depth than a multi-bar pattern engineered for balanced traction in mixed terrain.
Rather than advertising a single “thickness,” Grizzly Tracks™ focus on integrated design elements to extend track life and performance:
-
Optimized Rubber Thickness: Balanced rubber layer with reinforced components provides durability, flexibility, and lighter weight—reducing rolling resistance and making better use of your machine’s power.
-
EdgeGuard™ Protection Features: Advanced edge-protection technologies combined with spiral steel cords reduce edge cuts and increase strength.
-
Application-Specific Treads: Grizzly Tracks™ offer multiple tread patterns—multi-bar, C-pattern, block, Zig-Zag—each optimized for a specific terrain or job requirement.
-
Balanced Rubber Compounds (Bear Rubber): By blending virgin and synthetic rubber with carbon black and anti-aging chemicals — what we call our Bear Rubber — Grizzly Tracks™ produce a compound that resists cuts, chunks, and cracking far longer than pure virgin rubber or over-filled mixtures.
Why Professionals Choose Grizzly Tracks™
Because of their OEM-level PR Series design, balanced Bear Rubber chemistry, and premium manufacturing, Grizzly Tracks™ sit in the top tier of aftermarket options for skid steers, track loaders, and excavators. After the initial machine sale, many equipment dealerships stock lower-quality aftermarket tracks as alternatives and then charge inflated prices to offset the overhead of keeping those tracks in local inventory. Grizzly Tracks™ give you direct access to the same high-quality specification you’d expect on new equipment—without the inflated markup.
You’re not just buying a replacement track—you’re investing in:
-
Lower cost per hour of use thanks to extended life.
-
Reduced downtime with stronger bonds, anti-cut compounds, and X-Stream Roller Guard™.
-
Consistency track after track, shipment after shipment.
Whether you run a skid steer, track loader, or excavator, Grizzly Tracks™ are engineered to handle the demands of your machine and keep your operations moving.
The Bottom Line
From optimized rubber thickness to application-specific tread patterns and our Bear Rubber blend, Grizzly Tracks™ deliver the longevity, strength, and reliability professionals demand—at a cost per hour that beats most generic aftermarket tracks. If you want a track designed for real-world conditions rather than marketing hype, Grizzly Tracks™ offer a clear advantage.
