Gates G-Force Workhorse CVT belt 31/32 x 36 1/4 — aramid cords, high-durability heat-resistant design

The Gates 19G3982 G-Force Workhorse CVT belt is a high-durability replacement belt engineered for demanding utility and recreational continuously variable transmission (CVT) applications.

This G-Force Workhorse belt is built to extend service life and withstand higher loads than standard OEM belts. Designed with a proprietary elastomer compound and aramid tensile cords, it balances improved heat tolerance, axial stiffness, and shock resistance to handle hauling, heavy loads, and aggressive terrain. It comes in the specific size 31/32" x 36 1/4" and is intended for non-turbocharged, non-heavily modified engines.

How does the G-Force Workhorse belt resist cracking and wear?

The belt uses an advanced Ethylene Elastomer (EE) compound that raises axial stiffness and reduces heat-related degradation. That formulation helps the belt maintain shape and friction properties under repeated load cycles, cutting down on surface cracking and premature wear.

• EE compound increases heat tolerance under sustained loads
• Improved axial stiffness preserves belt geometry
• Engineered to minimize speed loss and heat fade

Will this belt improve performance when hauling or during heavy acceleration?

Yes — high-tensile aramid cords inside the belt deliver strong shock-load resistance and raise fatigue life, which helps maintain acceleration and torque transfer under heavy strain. The result is more consistent power delivery when towing or traversing rough terrain.

• Aramid cord maximizes tensile strength for load-bearing
• Better shock absorption during sudden torque changes
• Reduced fatigue lengthens usable belt life under heavy use

Is this belt suitable for modified or turbocharged machines?

No — the Gates Workhorse belt is not recommended for turbocharged or heavily modified engine setups. It is engineered to outperform standard replacement belts in stock or lightly modified powertrains, but extreme forced-induction or heavy engine tuning exceeds its intended operating envelope.

• Recommended for naturally aspirated and lightly modified engines
• Not rated for turbocharged or heavily tuned applications
• Check machine specifications and load requirements before purchase

What are the exact dimensions and compatibility notes?

This item is sized 31/32" x 36 1/4" and is made to replace like-for-like CVT belts of the same dimensions. Always confirm fitment against your vehicle’s manual or existing belt measurements before ordering to ensure correct installation and performance.

• Size: 31/32" width by 36 1/4" circumference
• Designed as a direct replacement for matching-dimension CVT belts
• Verify compatibility with model year and transmission type prior to installation

Who is this for? The Gates 19G3982 G-Force Workhorse CVT belt is intended for ATV, UTV, and light utility owners who need a more robust replacement than stock belts provide—especially those who tow, haul, or ride on challenging trails. It suits riders who prioritize longer belt life, consistent acceleration under load, and resistance to heat and wear. Avoid this belt if your machine is turbocharged or heavily modified; in those cases, consult a specialist for a belt or drive solution rated for extreme outputs.
