Great belt make sure its a gates carbon only , do a search theres several threads.
I ran them on my turbo the last two seasons and never blew a belt. Make sure that you don’t put them in the stock Polaris belt holder, as they are very sensitive to being bent. You’ll also want to reshim to get the proper belt to sheave clearance.
Thanks guys I had read about the not bending thing.
Don't bend them , make sure your clutch alignment is nailed. Run it like you stole it.

Darren that's all we run. Have to have proper clutch alignment with TRS tool otherwise will break carbon cords. These belts don't like side bending from misaligned clutch's. Get great life out of them! Also very important to break them in with a couple heat cycles to activate the adhesive. Break them in on trail. Ride sled for awhile to get some heat in belt, cool it, ride it again to get it up to temp cool again. Now it is ready to hit the deep pow. If procedure isn't followed it wont live.
