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 Sno Pro 500 Snowmobile (2010-2014)
The Arctic Cat Sno Pro 500, produced from 2010 to 2014, was a performance-oriented snowmobile designed for trail use, built on a race-bred chassis. Throughout these model years, it consistently featured a 499cc liquid-cooled 2-stroke twin engine, delivering approximately 85 horsepower, equipped with clean-burn electronic fuel injection (EFI). There were no distinct sub-trims offered; the primary variations were color options. While the core engine and chassis remained consistent, notable updates occurred. The 2010 model, upon its introduction, experienced an engine loading issue at idle, which Arctic Cat addressed with an ECU re-program. For 2011, significant changes were implemented: the 1.25-inch snocross track was replaced with a 1-inch Hacksaw track to increase top speed, the front sway bar was removed, and stiffer front springs were added to improve handling and reduce ski lift. An additional ECU reflash further refined engine performance. The 2012-2014 models were largely carryovers, maintaining the 1-inch track lug height and core specifications from 2011, with no major mid-cycle generation or engine changes. FAQ:
Q: Will parts for a 2010 Sno Pro 500 fit my 2013 model?
A: Compatibility can vary between model years due to updates. Please use our year/edition selector to ensure you find parts specifically designed for your snowmobile. Q: How do I know if a part fits my specific Sno Pro 500?
A: Always refer to the year and edition selector at the top of the page. This will filter products to show only those compatible with your exact model.
Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil (Injection System) | Check before every ride | Recommended type: Arctic Cat Synthetic APV 2-Cycle Oil. The first tank of fuel should be premixed at a 100:1 ratio during engine break-in. |
| Oil Filter | Not applicable | This 2-stroke model does not use a traditional engine oil filter. |
| Drive Belt | Inspect before every ride; replace if damaged or worn | Break-in of approximately 40 km at 3/4 throttle for a new belt. Typical lifespan: 2,400 to 4,800 km, but varies with use. Annual replacement recommended for casual riders. |
| Spark Plug | Replace annually | Recommended type: NGK BR9EYA, gap of 0.7-0.8 mm. Inspect and clean as needed. More frequent replacement may be necessary with heavy use. |
| Air Filter | Inspect before season | Check for obstructions in the air intake silencer. Keep clean for optimal airflow and to prevent engine wear. |
| Coolant | Check before season; replace every 2 to 5 years | Check level and hose condition. Annual replacement recommended for high-performance use. |
Maintenance intervals may vary. It is always recommended to consult your model's official owner's manual for the most accurate information.
