Gates 48G4289 Automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Belt - Drive Belt

Gates G-Force CVT Belt 48G4289 Overview

The Gates G-Force CVT Belt 48G4289 is a Power Sport CVT belt built for automatic continuously variable transmissions in demanding off-road and utility use. It uses an aramid cord, chloroprene belt material, and a double-notched construction to support consistent belt tracking under load.

Gates G-Force WorkHorse CVT belts are aimed at vehicles with engines under 800cc, making this belt line a strong match for smaller-displacement powersport and utility applications. If you are searching for a Gates CVT belt for a UTV, side-by-side, or similar powersport drivetrain, the 48G4289 is built around OE performance requirements.

Product Details

The Gates 48G4289 CVT belt is engineered for automatic continuously variable transmission service where belt consistency matters. Its aramid reinforcement and double-notched profile help maintain belt behavior in high-load powersport use, while the OE performance rating reflects a factory-style approach to fit and function. This belt is a practical choice when replacing a worn CVT belt on smaller engines under 800cc, including many UTV and side-by-side applications. If you are comparing Gates 48G4289 against other CVT belt options, this part is part of the Gates G-Force WorkHorse family and is built for tough trail and task use.

This part cross-references Dayco HPX5025 and XTX5025 for the same application.

What It Can Help Address

• Belt slip during acceleration or load changes
• Loss of smooth CVT engagement
• Worn or glazed belt surfaces
• Noise from a deteriorated transmission belt
• Reduced drivability from an aging CVT belt

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt dimensions, cross section, and CVT system requirements before installation. Inspect the drive and driven pulleys for wear, contamination, or damage, and replace the belt only after the transmission housing and pulley faces are clean and dry. Follow the vehicle service procedure for belt break-in, tensioning, and clutch calibration where applicable. For fitment-based searches, use the exact part number 48G4289 when checking Gates CVT belt replacement options for powersport vehicles.
