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?

Arctic Cat Wildcat 1000 Side-by-Side (2012-2026)
The Arctic Cat Wildcat 1000 series, spanning from 2012 to 2026, represents a robust lineup of side-by-side vehicles known for their performance. This range saw a significant evolution, primarily marked by a transition between two distinct platforms.
The initial Wildcat 1000 models (2012-2015) featured a 951cc V-twin engine, delivering 90+ horsepower in X models. Key updates included a "massaged" engine and new clutch system in 2013.5, followed by JRi ECX-1 shocks and closed-loop EFI in 2015.
A major generation break occurred with the introduction of the Wildcat XX (2019-2026). This newer platform boasts a 998cc inline-triple engine, producing 130 horsepower. Notable enhancements include the ADAPT CVT clutch system for LTD and SE models from 2022, and the specialized Black Hills Edition introduced in 2023. These changes reflect Arctic Cat's continuous innovation in power and capability. FAQ:
