It delivers greater resistance to cracking, heat, and fatigue while preserving acceleration and torque transfer for hauling, towing, and rugged terrain. The belt measures 1 1\/4\" wide by 49 1\/8\" long and is intended for naturally aspirated, factory-spec engines under 800cc—not for turbocharged or heavily modified applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this belt improve durability compared to the original G-Force?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WorkHorse formulation uses a proprietary Ethylene Elastomer (EE) compound and reinforced aramid cord to resist wear, cracking, and heat-related degradation. In real-world conditions this translates to up to twice the service life of the original G-Force belt, reducing downtime and replacement frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEthylene Elastomer compound increases axial stiffness and heat tolerance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh tensile aramid cord resists shock loads and fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulation minimizes speed loss and heat fade under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this belt handle heavy loads and steep terrain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the aramid cord and EE compound were selected to maintain torque transfer and resist sudden stress from heavy loads or rough trails.

The Gates 20G4022 G-Force WorkHorse is aimed at riders and fleet managers who demand tougher, longer-lasting CVT performance for everyday work, trail riding, or hauling on naturally aspirated vehicles under 800cc. Choose this belt if you need better resistance to cracking, heat, and fatigue than stock belts offer, but stay within the manufacturer’s engine and modification limits to ensure reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What size is the Gates 20G4022 belt?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The belt measures 1 1\/4\" (width) by 49 1\/8\" (length).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this belt on a turbocharged engine?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No — it is not recommended for turbocharged or heavily modified engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Gates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48080180150430,"sku":"B006LW94RG","price":107.33,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/gates-g-force-workhorse-front-view.jpg?v=1785779566","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/gates-g-force-workhorse-cvt-belt-1-1-4-x-49-1-8-heavy-duty-aramid-reinforced-heat-resistant-for-800cc-utv-atv","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
