I agree the gates belts are a great alternative to the OEM belts ( I am running one too) but I wouldn't say they are stronger than the OEM with the Aramid fibers.Gates c12 carbon belt is much stronger then stock . They do make a oem belt that is way cheaper so don't be fooled . The part numbers are extremely close . You shouldn't pay more then like 60 dollars for the 30g3750 which is a oem replacement . The carbon fiber belt part num is 30c3750. And that belt is still way cheaper then a oem and much stronger and longer life then a can am belt . The can am belts will start to side frae then it's all over
I'm just speaking with personal use . That's all .I agree the gates belts are a great alternative to the OEM belts ( I am running one too) but I wouldn't say they are stronger than the OEM with the Aramid fibers.
it's all good man.....they are both great belts and with the Gates being half the cost of the OEM, I don't ever see myself buying the Can Am belt.I'm just speaking with personal use . That's all .
