Bando Premium CVT Drive Belt 788-17-28 Minarelli 50cc
Description
Ensure reliable power transfer and consistent top-speed performance with the Bando Premium CVT Drive Belt (788-17-28). Manufactured in Japan to exacting OEM standards, this belt features high-modulus aramid-fiber reinforcement to resist stretching and snapping under the high-frequency heat cycles inherent in 2-stroke CVT transmissions.
The 788-17-28 specification is the industry-standard "long-belt" for the widely used 50cc 2-stroke Minarelli engine platform. Whether you are performing a routine maintenance swap or tuning a big-bore 70cc street build, Bando’s precision-molded rubber compound provides the consistent friction "bite" necessary to eliminate belt slip and keep your power delivery smooth.
