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 XF 6000 Snowmobile (2015-2019)
The Arctic Cat XF 6000, produced from 2015 to 2019, is a versatile crossover snowmobile designed for both trail riding and off-trail exploration. It is powered by a reliable 599cc C-TEC2 2-stroke, liquid-cooled, in-line twin engine, consistently delivering around 125 horsepower throughout these model years. This engine features dual-stage injection (DSI) for precise fuel and oil metering, contributing to improved fuel economy and reduced oil consumption. While the core C-TEC2 engine remained consistent, the XF 6000 series saw notable updates. The C-TEC2 engine itself was introduced to the XF crossover models in 2015, bringing its advanced injection technology and lighter design. For the 2016 model year, the Arctic Drive System was enhanced with new TEAM BOSS driven and TEAM drive clutches, aiming to improve power transfer and reduce belt wear. Beyond these key introductions, variations primarily involved available trims and minor chassis or suspension refinements. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil Injection System | Regular check | Check oil level and system proper functioning. Use Arctic Cat's recommended C-Tec2 oil. |
| Drive Belt | Regular inspection; replace if worn | 40 km break-in period for new belts. Inspect monthly for wear and damage. Estimated lifespan between 2,400 and 4,800 km. |
| Spark Plugs | Periodic inspection | Check condition and gap (e.g., 0.7-0.8 mm). Use manufacturer's recommended spark plugs. |
| Air Filter | Weekly inspection; replace if needed | Clean for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency. Inspect more frequently in adverse or dusty conditions. |
| Coolant | Regular level check; replace every 2 years | Check level in overflow tank. Use Arctic Cat's specified coolant type. |
