Think of it like a mountain bike. With the bike you can select the gears you want by moving the chain via cable to different sprockets. The transmission is doing the same thing with a belt instead of a chain, and two pulleys instead of gears. The rear pulley is a fixed diameter. The front pulley is angled to allow the belt to rise up to a higher diameter for a taller gear and back down to a lower diamter for a lower gear.Originally posted by 07250ex

basically it is constantly changing "gearing" as it goes. kinda slips it up the range just like zsk said. most utilities use the same therory.
some cars even use these transmissions. that have thier fualts. and you have to get the clutching right to get the most power. but they can be very powerful.

The clutching is the key. In theory, a CVT equipped vehicle/atv will be quicker and faster than the same vehicle/atv because the constantly variable transmission (CVT) is always keeping the motor in its "sweet spot." The springs and weights are crucial to the CVT working correctly.

Stock against a 450 , the 450 will beat you . With a little work , exhaust , air filter , jets , tuning it will beat a stock 450 . Get into the clutches and you pick up more speed . Mine goes mid eighties with only a few mods . I know a guy that is hitting 100 with some radical mods .Originally posted by pro-rider46
