Gates Expands G-Force RedLine CVT Belts to More UTVs, ATVs
The Gates catalog just got fatter for 2020.
Gates, a leading global provider of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions, is launching over 40 new G-Force RedLine (CVT) belt sizes to now cover the majority of modern high-performance off-road applications. This portfolio expansion builds upon the successful performance of an initial 10 G- Force RedLine CVT belts in-field testing and overwhelmingly positive feedback from professional race teams and enthusiasts over the past 8 months.
With this product expansion, the unique material technology advantages of the G-Force RedLine belt will soon be available for a broader selection of high-performance ATV/ UTV makes and models over 800cc, including those from Polaris, Can-Am/BRP, Kawasaki, Arctic Cat/Textron, John Deere and CF Moto, among others. Notable additions to the G-Force RedLine CVT belt portfolio include those compatible with the 2020 Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000cc, the 2020 Arctic Cat/Textron Wildcat 1000cc, the 2020 Polaris Sportsman 1000cc.
G-Force RedLine belts were specifically designed to withstand the increased heat, power and operating environments of today’s off-road vehicles (ORVs). Gates G-Force RedLine CVT belts are engineered from a patented, fiber-reinforced Ethylene Elastomer compound, providing maximum transverse stiffness and unmatched heat resistance which allows for increased durability, greater load-carrying capability and a higher effective operating temperature.
G-Force RedLine belts deliver:
Excellent recovery from temperatures up to 338°F(170°C) without power loss
Up to 300 percent increased belt life
Up to 50 percent lower speed losses under heavy loads and torque
“Due to the incredible interest we received for the initial parts launched, we decided to accelerate the expansion of G-Force RedLine platform to cover even more applications,” says Christian Buhlmann, Vice President of Global Product Line Management for Gates. “These new parts will be especially important to meet the overall surge in outdoor recreation activities we’ve seen since April.”
