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 425 ATV (2011-2012)
The Arctic Cat 425, available from 2011 to 2012, is a robust mid-size ATV known for its reliable performance. Both model years were powered by a consistent 443cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine, featuring SOHC, liquid/air cooling, and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). This engine was praised in contemporary reviews for delivering strong power and torque for its class. Trims offered during this period included the standard 425 EFI 4x4 (also known as 425i), a Special Edition (SE) variant, and a 2X4 automatic model. There were no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes between the 2011 and 2012 models; the 2012 version was largely a carryover from 2011, maintaining the same core specifications. FAQ:
