Description
For over a century, Gates has driven innovation in belt technology to power the machines that move you. Gates® G-Force C12 CVT belt drives are engineered to navigate the toughest off-road trails with power and efficiency. The industry's first CVT belt with carbon tensile cord also features a trapezoid top-notch and rounded cog design for superior flexibility and heat dissipation, along with a unique gum adhesion that reduces fiber pullout within the belt extending the life of the belt. Gates combines material science and process engineering to create innovative products that provide performance, reliability and the strength to withstand even the most challenging off-road environments. Continuous innovation isn't just what we do. It's who we are.
WHY G-FORCE C12 BELTS?
- STRENGTH: The first CVT belt utilizing carbon tensile cord for minimal stretch and extraordinary strength.
- FLEXIBILITY: High-performance neoprene with a trapezoidal topnotch and rounded bottom cog design maximizing heat control and flexibility.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat TRV 500 ATV (2003-2015)
The Arctic Cat TRV 500, produced from 2003 to 2015, is a versatile two-rider utility ATV designed for comfortable two-up riding with its extended wheelbase and raised rear passenger seat. Throughout its production, the TRV 500 saw significant evolution. Initially, models from approximately 2003 to 2011 featured a 493cc, liquid/air-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC, 4-stroke engine. Around 2012-2013, a notable change occurred with the introduction of a 443cc engine, maintaining the same configuration. Concurrently, the fuel system transitioned from carbureted (found in earlier models) to Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for the later 443cc engine versions, enhancing performance and efficiency. Various trims like Standard, Plus, Core, XT, and Limited offered different feature sets, from basic functionality to premium amenities like power steering and winches. FAQ:
