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 TBX 400 ATV (2004-2006)
The Arctic Cat TBX 400, produced from 2004 to 2006, is a robust utility ATV known for its unique "truck box" cargo bed, which replaced the traditional rear rack. This design made it a versatile workhorse, ideal for transporting materials. Across these model years, it consistently featured a reliable single-cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC engine with a 376cc displacement. While the 2004 model was noted as 'Upgraded' and 2005 was a 'Carryover', the 2006 model year brought significant enhancements. These included new slimline SpeedRacks, a full-lock front differential, floating brake calipers, a redesigned hydraulic foot brake, a heavy-duty rear axle, and a new digital instrument pod. The engine also received a temperature-controlled fan and an Auto Electronic Choke system for improved starting, marking a notable mid-cycle refresh. FAQ:
