- Variable notched design: as engine heat builds, the belt tightens on the drive to help resist slippage, support belt performance, and reduce noise.
- Fiber-loaded rubber stock: adds flexibility along the belt's length and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
- Form-ground profile: precise top-width and sidewall dimensional control for proper fit to the pulley.
- Thermally-active tensile cords: for maintenance-free performance when properly installed and tensioned.
The rubber resists oil, heat, ozone, weather, and aging for improved belt life, and the belt meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications. Made in the United States.
