X3, but I prefer the OEM belts

OEM belt

and 90% of the time if a belt blows prematurely it either was driver error or belt wasn't broke in properly

Ya baby!

I have tried three different ones.. keep in mind that there is no scientific data and this includes what I had on my commander ad well.. stock, epi, and gates. The two longest lasting belts were stock and gates...The epi only lasted 2/3 the time of the other two. Just my 2 cents.. hope this helps..

I have been running a Gates C12 and have no complaints. At almost half the price of OEM it was a no brainer for me......I think the OEM is the best belt you can buy but I am not going to spend 2X to get one when the Gates works just as well...

I blew the factory belt on my xmr at 55 miles and 22 hours. Now I replaced it with a gates c12 and I have 47 hours and about 300 miles no issues. Very happy with the belt.

Looks like it. They have the same part numbers.

Gates c12 belt had over 1000 miles until I blew it at the dunes a couple weeks ago.

I learned a lesson. Not all gates belts are the same. I put a g force belt on my og. Probably every person other than me knows not to do this but I didn’t. G force belts do not handle even light duty riding. I am considering the g force redline belt but at that price. OEM is about the same price.
I hope if there is anyone else than does not know this, this post will helps

What a revival thread from 6 years ago!

Before I got my clutch reworked from KWI I would eat a belt in 100-150 mile no matter. Gates G, Redline, OEM etc.
If I'm correct I've heard early OG's are hard on belts due to the primary.

On here people tout OEM and WBB as the best two.

King of the Hammers winning belt the last two years in a row. The X3s are running about 100 mph across the flats with these.
