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
Can-Am Traxter Max 500 ATV (2003-2005)
The Can-Am Traxter Max 500, produced under the Bombardier brand from 2003 to 2005, was a pioneering utility ATV. It featured a robust 498cc Rotax, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which remained consistent across all model years. This model was notable for its extended chassis, designed for two-passenger comfort and stability, making it the world's first production two-seater quad upon its 2003 introduction. Throughout its production, the Traxter Max 500 was available in a standard trim and an XT version, which offered enhanced features. A significant mid-cycle update occurred for the 2004 model year, where the chassis was revised to further improve the two-rider design, incorporating integrated floorboards and hand grips for increased comfort and safety. The 5-speed transmission, with its selectable auto-shift and manual modes, was a consistent and appreciated feature. Additionally, the Bombardier Traxter XL 500, a distinct utility vehicle focused on hauling with a dumping box-bed, was available in 2004 and 2005, derived from the Traxter Max platform. FAQ:
