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.
- DURABILITY: Carbon tensile cords are bonded to aramid fiber-loaded rubber with specially formulated adhesion gum, resulting in increased side-load resistance, preventing belt distortion and edge cord pullout.
- PERFORMANCE: Gain optimal power transmission for faster acceleration, improved throttle response and consistent shifting performance.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat M8000 Snowmobile (2014-2024)
The Arctic Cat M8000 series, produced from 2014 to 2024, is a high-performance mountain snowmobile known for its powerful 794cc two-stroke engines and continuous innovation. Initially, from 2014 to 2017, models were equipped with a 794cc Suzuki engine, delivering around 160 horsepower. These early models featured the ProClimb chassis and Arctic Race Suspension (ARS), undergoing a weight reduction in 2014. A significant evolution occurred in 2018 with the introduction of Arctic Cat's in-house 794cc C-TEC2 engine, featuring Dual-Stage Injection (DSI), maintaining a 160-165 hp class output with improved efficiency. This year also saw the debut of the narrower Ascender platform and the TEAM Rapid Response II drive clutch. Further innovation arrived in 2019 with the revolutionary ALPHA-ONE single-beam rear suspension, which became standard across all M8000 mountain models by 2020. Subsequent years brought refinements like the ADAPT CVT system in 2022 and a stronger rear tunnel for 2024 models, ensuring the M8000 remained at the forefront of mountain riding performance.
