The multiple ribs of the belt increase the surface area in contact with the pulley, allowing it to handle higher loads and enhancing the efficiency of power transmission. This design also results in a smoother operation, reducing vibrations and noise, which is particularly important in automotive applications where comfort is crucial.

What is a Timing Belt?

Poly V-belts are constructed from high-quality synthetic materials, which include rubber compounds, polyester, and sometimes fiberglass. This combination of materials provides durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear. The distinct feature of poly V-belts is their ribbed surface that increases the contact area with drive pulleys, allowing for enhanced grip and power transmission efficiency.

Composition and Structure

In terms of performance, belt-driven motorbikes excel in delivering consistent power without the jerky sensations often associated with chain-driven bikes. This allows for more precise throttle control, improving maneuverability and overall handling. For long-distance riders, this smoothness reduces rider fatigue, allowing for more enjoyable and extended journeys.
