Whether for hauling cordwood in the fall, maintaining roads or harvesting syrup from maple trees in the spring, the **WS4-L-Ratio** tracks are perfect for those who see their ATV more as an efficient working tool. ### **Small engines for the biggest jobs** **WS4 L-Ratio** tracks include a small diameter sprocket (13 in.) which helps to provide more traction to the track. This claim can be checked using the moment of force calculation. [![KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-2-en](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-2-en.png?width=642&height=641&name=KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-2-en.png)](https://blog.kimpex.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-2-en.png) For a 500cc vehicle generating a torque of 40 lb-ft to the wheel, the resultant force transferred to the wheel will vary as follows: [![KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-3-en](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-3-en.png?width=642&height=228&name=KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-3-en.png)](https://blog.kimpex.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews-PR-Commander-WS4-LRatio-3-en.png) Compared to a standard 15” sprocket will see 15% more force transferred to the track with the **WS4 L-Ratio**, but nearly 50% more force transferred if compared to a 25” tire. Consequently, when equipped with the WS4 L-Ratio, even a small ATV engine will be able to take on heavy-duty jobs. ### **Commander top quality: Agility, control and power** Consistent with Commander’s innovative line of products, the **WS4-L-Ratio** represents the best track kit available on the market in terms of floatation, design and performance. In addition to providing more power to the track just like the WS4 from which they evolved, **WS4 L-Ratio** tracks offer more traction than the competition while requiring less steering effort. **They are the lightest in the industry and have the highest ground clearance.** **Pave the way to more efficient work!** Whether in snow or mud, using a revolutionary system with no slides (patent pending), **WS4 L-Ratio** tracks let you venture where tires are no longer effective. These truly “all-season tracks” will help you push the limits and optimize the working time. Off the beaten trails, **WS4 L-Ratio** tracks are put to work with strength and efficiency.
