Description
Bred from a rich history of experienced belt builders, the Dayco XTX belt is specifically engineered to maximize the performance of the most extreme, high horsepower snowmobiles. Beating the competition on the race course is just one of many aspects that sets the XTX belt apart from its competition. Specially formulated high temperature Polymer along with the highest level of engineered reinforcement proves to perform better in belt operating temperature and efficiency than leading competitors. Its innovative break-through design of deeper cogs on top and rounded cogs on the bottom yield the advantages of ultimate flexibility and longer belt life while being a better alternative to the original equipment belt.

Vehicle Information
Ski-Doo GSX 500 Snowmobile (2004-2009)
The Ski-Doo GSX 500, produced from 2004 to 2009, is a versatile touring and sport snowmobile known for its reliable 597cc (or 593cc) liquid-cooled, 2-stroke engine. This model offered a balance of performance and comfort, making it a popular choice for various riding styles during its production run. A key evolution for the GSX 500 during this period was a significant chassis change. Models from 2004 to 2007 were built on the original REV chassis. Starting in 2008, Ski-Doo introduced the lighter and stronger REV-XP platform, which improved rider ergonomics and featured a more angular design. Trims included Sport, Limited, and 1+1 versions for two riders. Suspension upgrades were also introduced, notably for Sport models in 2007 and the GSX Sport 500SS in 2008 with an Independent Double A-Arm Front Suspension. Q: How can I confirm this part fits my Ski-Doo GSX 500?
