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 Sabercat 500 Snowmobile (2004-2006)
The Arctic Cat Sabercat 500 (2004-2006) is a performance trail snowmobile, sharing its lightweight chassis with the Firecat but tuned for comfort. It features a consistent 499cc, liquid-cooled, 2-stroke engine producing 80 horsepower throughout its production. While the engine remained constant, significant updates occurred. For 2006, the fuel system transitioned from carbureted (2004-2005 models) to a batteryless Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, improving starting and performance. Suspension also evolved, with 2005 and 2006 models adopting Arctic Cat's ACT rebuildable gas shocks, replacing the 2004's Ryde FX shocks, and adding a position-sensitive rear shock. Trims included a standard model and an LX version with added features. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
