Goodyear introduces carbon fiber ATV drive belt
ATV BELT HEALS SELF – Goodyear’s new Gatorback Sport ATV drive
belt is the first CVT belt with carbon fiber reinforcement in its rubber
compound. When handling an extreme load demand, the carbon fiber allows
desired slippage on pulleys without top-width belt distortion. After the extreme
demand subsides, the carbon material restores the integrity of belt edges in
order to handle the normal load demand.
