Why do side by sides use belts?
The fundamental reason UTV’s use a belt CVT system is to avoid the cost of having a full blown transmission and shaft drive which would undoubtedly raise the price of the vehicle and require a clutch system to shift gears making it more complicated to drive. One of the main reasons UTV growth has been so massive is they are extremely easy to drive. Put in High Gear and go! Not to mention breaking a transmission is a lot more expensive than blowing a belt and when you are out in the middle of nowhere fixing a belt may be a pain, but it’s far easier than fixing a transmission of drivetrain issues.
