Review on Bando USA 7PK2120: The Ultimate OEM Quality Serpentine Belt for Optimal Performance by Andy Baudoin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OEM Bando vs Bando Aftermarket

Great product and price. It replaced the factory Bando strap and the quality is just as good but slightly different from the OEM Bando Honda strap. The OEM belt appears to have a stiffer, cloth-like woven outer shell, while the included Revain has a shiny rubber outer shell. The OEM Bando also has internal grooves, the OEM strap has rubber grooves, while the included Revain has a felt texture that seems to work well and reduces noise. ***BOTH of those differences I mentioned are probably just the difference between a worn out belt and a new one. **** See attached photos. I don't think you can go wrong with this part. The machine runs quieter and smoother than ever, but can't comment on durability.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Doubtful
