Designed for the most demanding, turbo-charged off-road CVT applications. With Gates proprietary materials and design, G-Force RedLine CVT belts handle extreme temperatures with excellent heat recovery, while maximizing load and torque capacity making it one of the most efficient CVT belts currently on the market.
Why G-Force RedLine CVT Belts?
- Greater heat resistance and recovery, even under severe duty cycles.
- Optimized, patented EE compound maximizes axial stiffness enabling belts to run at higher continuous torques or loads.
- Innovative design results in better acceleration, higher top speeds, less speed ratio and energy loss in extreme off-road environments.
- Improved durability, crack and wear-resistance means a longer-lasting, high-performance power transmission belt for the most demanding applications.
- Reduced environmental risk made without harmful chlorinated compounds.
Features
- First on the market to utilize Ethylene Elastomer compound to address the needs of larger SxS and high-horsepower ORVs in tough riding conditions.
- Next-generation EE compound offers maximum transverse stiffness and heat resistance, resulting in higher load capacity, higher peak torque capacity, less "heat fade" and less speed loss.
- Delivers 75% greater dynamic axial stiffness on average, up to 50% lower speed losses and better recovery from temperatures up to +170°C (+338°F) without power loss.
- Unmatched Temperature Capability - Runs cooler, resists glazing for better recovery and reduced cracking/chunking out after running at temps exceeding +149°C (+300°F).
- Extended Belt Life - Belt life increased 100-300% versus aftermarket competitive belts in severe duty lab test conditions and in field testing.
- Higher Power Capacity - Reduced speed (rpm) loss by 50% under high loads and increased load capacity by >10% compared to other aftermarket belt.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 Snowmobile (1998-2002)
The Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000, produced from 1998 to 2002, was a legendary snowmobile renowned for its powerful 999cc Suzuki-produced, counterbalanced triple-cylinder two-stroke engine, consistently delivering 172 horsepower. This high-performance machine was a dominant force in its category. Throughout its production run, it was primarily offered in a standard model and a Mountain Cat variant, catering to different riding styles. During its 1998-2002 lifespan, the Thundercat 1000 saw several notable updates. The 1998 model introduced the 999cc engine and weight-cutting measures like plastic skis. In 1999, it received a significant chassis upgrade with the AWS5. Further refinements in 2000 included TM Flatslide carburetors and a 3-D ignition system with TPS. For its final year in this series, 2002 models gained convenience features like reverse and electric start. These changes represent distinct evolutions within the model's production. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Break-in Period | First 500 km | Avoid prolonged full-throttle and overheating. For oil-injection models, the first tank of fuel should be premixed at a 100:1 ratio. |
| Initial Inspection after Break-in | 1 000 km or 1 month | General vehicle inspection. |
| Oil Injection System | Check regularly | Ensure correct function and use recommended oil. |
| Drive Belt | Inspect regularly | Check for wear, cracks, and tears, especially before storage. Replace if damaged. |
| Spark Plugs | Inspect regularly | Check condition and gap. Use recommended spark plugs. |
| Air Filter | Clean regularly | Clean before storage. Inspect for snow buildup in deep powder conditions. |
| Coolant Level | Check and replenish regularly | Check at the beginning and mid-winter season, and after the first 5-10 minutes of operation. |
The maintenance intervals provided are based on general guidelines and available information. For precise and detailed service schedules specific to your 1998-2002 Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 model, it is highly recommended to consult the official owner's manual for that particular year.
