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.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Alterra TRV 500 ATV (2017-2020)
The Arctic Cat Alterra TRV 500, produced from 2017 to 2020, is a robust two-rider ATV designed for adventure. It is powered by a consistent 443cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC, 4-stroke engine with electronic fuel injection (EFI), delivering a steady 33 horsepower. This model features an extended chassis, a comfortable passenger seat, padded backrest, and ergonomically friendly passenger handles, along with SpeedRack II composite racks and dual halogen/LED lighting. During this period, the Alterra TRV 500 saw notable developments. In 2017, it was available in a standard version and an XT version with Electronic Power Steering (EPS). 2018 marked a brand transition following Textron Inc.'s acquisition of Arctic Cat, with models marketed under the Textron Off Road banner, though core specifications remained identical. In 2019, the lineup expanded with the introduction of the Alterra 570 (545cc engine on a larger chassis), which co-existed with the 443cc TRV 500. By 2020, the Arctic Cat brand was reinstated, and the TRV 500 continued to be offered alongside the Alterra 570. FAQ:
