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?

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat XF 9000 Snowmobile (2014-2019)
The Arctic Cat XF 9000 series, produced from 2014 to 2019, was renowned for its powerful turbocharged engines and versatile crossover capabilities. These snowmobiles offered a blend of trail performance and off-trail adventure, making them a popular choice for riders seeking both speed and agility. Initially powered by a Suzuki-built 1056cc twin-cylinder engine, the series saw a significant evolution during its production run. A major generation break occurred in 2017 with the introduction of a new 998cc Yamaha-built three-cylinder turbocharged engine. This new engine, lighter and offering improved throttle response, replaced the earlier 1056cc Suzuki engine, maintaining a high horsepower output (around 180-200 hp). This change also brought new body styling, enhancing cooling and accessibility. While various trims were offered each year, this engine and styling update was the most impactful mid-cycle change. Q: How can I ensure I select the correct parts for my XF 9000?
