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.

Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Mule 4010 Side-by-Side (2009-2026)
The Kawasaki Mule 4010 series, produced from 2009 to 2026, stands as a robust and versatile utility vehicle, available with either a gasoline or diesel engine. This lineup offers various trim levels, including the foundational 4x4, the adaptable Trans4x4 with its convertible seating for two or four passengers, and the powerful Trans4x4 Diesel. Specialized variants like the Camo editions and the Fleet Edition (FE) cater to diverse operational needs. The Mule 4010 is powered by a 617cc V-twin gasoline engine (20 HP) or a 953cc three-cylinder diesel engine (24 HP), both liquid-cooled and featuring Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) for the gasoline model. A significant update occurred in 2009, marking a key evolution for the series. This year introduced Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) to the gasoline engine, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency. Many 4010 models also gained Electric Power Steering (EPS), greatly reducing steering effort. Furthermore, the 2009 models received updated styling and a revised dashboard. Following these enhancements, the core mechanical and generational platform of the Mule 4010 has remained remarkably consistent through 2026, with subsequent years primarily seeing minor updates in colors or accessory packaging.
