Gates 28G3982 CVT belt for the 2015-2017 Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail XT and other vehicles carries engine power between the clutches of the CVT drive. Improved crack and wear resistance gives it up to 2x the life of the original G-Force belt.
- G-Force WorkHorse line, engineered for tough tasks and trails and optimized for engines under 800cc
- Proprietary Ethylene Elastomer (EE) compound adds axial stiffness and heat tolerance for higher loads and peak torque
- Less heat fade and less speed loss from the EE compound
- High tensile aramid cord for acceleration, shock load resistance and fatigue resistance, suited to heavy loads on aggressive terrain
