Product Details

The Gates G-Force Carbon Cord CVT Belt line was developed around carbon cord reinforcement to improve belt stability in continuously variable transmissions. This belt combines carbon tensile cords with a specially formulated adhesion layer to help reduce edge cord pullout and support longer service life in high-load power sport use. If you are replacing a worn CVT belt on a compatible ATV, UTV, or other power sport machine, 41C4651 is built around the dimensions and construction details that matter for proper belt tracking and engagement. This part number 41C4651 is also referenced in interchange listings for select aftermarket and OE-style applications, including Dayco HPX5013 and FEL-PRO 71259.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Slipping or inconsistent CVT engagement caused by belt wear
• Loss of drive response from a stretched or glazed belt
• Edge fraying or cord pullout in high-load operation
• Reduced belt life from heat and repeated acceleration cycles
• Incorrect belt dimensions affecting CVT performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt dimensions, section, and cross-reference before installation. Measure the existing belt and compare top width, outside circumference, and profile to confirm the correct replacement for your CVT system. Inspect the drive and driven pulleys for wear, contamination, or damage before fitting the new belt, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure for belt break-in and tension checks. Fits select power sport CVT applications where the specified 47.625 in. outside circumference and 1.406 in. top width are required.

Quality Assurance

Gates positions the G-Force Carbon Cord CVT Belt line as an OE-style performance upgrade with carbon tensile cord reinforcement and a belt compound engineered for durability in CVT service. The 41C4651 is built to the listed specifications for consistent fitment in matching applications.
