A suspension assembly for mounting an endless track to a chassis of a snowmobile, the suspension assembly having a pair of pivoting arms centrally mounted to the slide members, or rails, and a weight transfer dynamic compensator capable of compensating for the weight transfer of the snowmobile when the track is pulling on the chassis. The weight transfer dynamic compensator prevents the chassis from rotating excessively with respect to the slide rails during rapid acceleration. Such a rotation of the chassis is detrimental to rider comfort and stability. The suspension assembly is coupled such the rails remain somewhat parallel to the chassis when encountering a bump at either the front of the rails or at the rear of the rails, also enhancing rider comfort and stability. The suspension assembly is coupled by virtue of a limited-translation slide bar at the rear of the suspension assembly and a tension-only member, or pulling belt, located at the front of the suspension assembly. The suspersion assembly having the weight transfer dynamic compensator improves the cornering of the snowmobile by ensuring that there is ample weight on the front skis, especially when accelerating out of a turn.
