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 450 ATV (2010-2015)
The Arctic Cat 450 ATV, produced from 2010 to 2015, is known for its robustness and versatility. It was equipped with a 443cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC, liquid/air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. This reliable engine generally produced between 33 and 34 horsepower, offering consistent performance for both work and recreation. The lineup included utility and sport models, such as the XC 450, which focused on a more dynamic ride. Throughout this period (2010-2015), the 443cc engine remained the core of all Arctic Cat 450 models. While new trims and options, such as power steering on some GT models in 2011, were introduced, there was no major generation break or fundamental platform or engine change. The XC 450 model, introduced in 2011, offered a more performance-oriented variant with a 4-valve engine design for higher revs. FAQ:
