Product Details

The Gates G-Force CVT Belt line focuses on drivetrain consistency under load, and the WorkHorse version is aimed at tougher tasks and trail conditions. This belt uses a notched design, aramid cord reinforcement, and chloroprene construction to support stable operation in CVT systems that require the specified width, angle, and circumference. If you are replacing a worn Gates 46G4821 belt or cross-shopping a CVT belt for a powersport vehicle, verify the belt dimensions and section code against the original specification before installation.

This part cross-references Dayco 71226 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Belt slip under load in CVT-equipped powersport vehicles
• Loss of drive response from a worn or stretched CVT belt
• Noise or vibration caused by belt wear or glazing
• Inconsistent acceleration from incorrect belt dimensions
• Reduced performance in trail, utility, or work conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the belt section, top width, and outside circumference match the original specification before installation. Inspect the CVT pulleys, clutch faces, and belt housing for wear or contamination, since debris or pulley damage can shorten belt life. Follow the vehicle service procedure for belt break-in, tension checks, and alignment after replacement. Fits applications that specify the Gates 46G4821 CVT belt dimensions.
