Detailed Product Description

The Gates G-Force CVT Belt 45G4809 is constructed with a notched design that allows for better flexibility and heat dissipation during operation. The belt’s core uses aramid cords, known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, which helps maintain belt integrity under high stress and torque conditions. The chloroprene rubber compound provides resistance to heat, oil, and wear, making it suitable for continuous use in automatic CVT systems. Additionally, the fabric bottom enhances the belt’s grip on pulleys, reducing slippage and improving overall transmission efficiency. The belt’s dimensions, including a top width of 1.469 inches and an outside circumference of 48.875 inches, are engineered to meet specific power sport CVT requirements.
