G-Force CVT Belt Product Line Details

The G-Force CVT Belt line by Gates focuses on delivering durable and high-performance belts specifically designed for powersport applications. This product line emphasizes materials like aramid cords and chloroprene rubber to provide strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear, ensuring consistent transmission performance under demanding conditions. The 23G3805 model exemplifies these qualities with its double-notched design and fabric bottom, tailored for reliable operation in automatic CVT systems.

Technical Description and Features

The Gates G-Force CVT Belt 23G3805 is constructed with a double-notched design that enhances flexibility and reduces heat buildup during operation. The aramid cord material offers superior tensile strength, which helps maintain belt integrity under high load conditions common in powersport vehicles. The chloroprene belt material provides resistance to oil, heat, and abrasion, extending the belt's service life. With a top width of 1.219 inches and an outside circumference of 39.25 inches, this belt fits specific CVT systems requiring the Rvs-r cross section designation. The fabric bottom improves grip on pulleys, reducing slippage and enhancing power transfer efficiency.

Applications and Problem Solving
