What distinguishes the K060950 Micro-V belt from generic alternatives?

The K060950 uses Gates’ Micro-V design that replicates OE profile, cord placement and compound for consistent fit and predictable wear. Its construction reduces stretching and fraying compared with low-cost aftermarket belts, which helps maintain proper accessory alignment and tension over time.

• OE-compatible profile and length for accurate fitment
• Engineered compound resists heat and cracking
• Precise cord placement reduces elongation and slippage
