Gates launches new off-road belt range

Gates has introduced a new line of continuously variable transmission (CVT) belts 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.

This allows for increased durability, greater load-carrying capability and a higher effective operating temperature.

Christian Buhlmann, vice president of global product line management for Gates, said: “Today’s high-performance ORVs demand innovative belt technology than can withstand use in the most extreme environments.

“Through advanced materials science and process technology, we’ve
created the next generation of CVT power transmission belts designed to deliver higher load capacity, higher peak torque capacity, less heat fatigue and greater durability.”

In addition to the performance benefits, ethylene elastomers are more environmentally friendly to manufacture and will serve as the foundation for future belt developments at Gates across a number of categories.

Gates G-Force RedLine belts are now available from distributors across Europe, Middle-East and Africa.
