Heavy-Duty Performance: Bando Kevlar Reinforced Drive Belt
Upgrade your transmission’s reliability with the Bando Kevlar CVT Drive Belt. Engineered in Japan, this premium belt is reinforced with high-tensile Kevlar cords to provide superior heat resistance and stretch protection compared to standard rubber belts. As an OEM supplier to brands like Honda and Kymco, Bando is the gold standard for riders who demand durability for daily commuting or high-RPM performance builds.
Technical Performance Features
- Kevlar Fiber Reinforcement: Utilizes genuine Kevlar cords to significantly reduce belt stretch and prevent catastrophic failure under high-heat or high-load conditions.
- Precision 30° Groove Angle: Designed to match the exact taper of GY6 variator and clutch pulleys, ensuring maximum grip and efficient power transfer.
- Oil & Heat Resistant: Constructed from a specialized EPDM compound that resists degradation from transmission heat and incidental oil contact.
- Made in Japan: Manufactured to strict global OEM standards, offering a noticeably longer service life than generic alternatives.
