Icecat
- Aggressive v-bar chain
- Superior grip on icy surfaces
- Digs deep for ultimate traction
Icecat chains use their claw-like design to crawl over the most challenging terrain.
Icecat chains use aggressive v-bar to break through thick ice for the ultimate grip. The v-bar ‘claws’ dig into the ground to get traction on clay, mud or ice, minimizing impact to the land by reducing wheel spin. Icecat chains are quick and easy to fit and perform well in extreme conditions.
