Not good for your CanAm.

Trash! Burnt out on a trip! Don't buy this for your CanAm, get a CanAm belt unless you like changing belts at the track. If so, you will love this belt, just buy two or three, you will need them.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Upgrades

The belt is broken, go with OEM

Read and believe other reviews. My stock belt glazed over after a few thousand hard miles. I bought this belt, went well (for me) and did not hesitate. less than 250 miles later the belt snaps in the middle of a flat section of track. I don't know if it's a quality control issue or something, but it was more than a waste of money because I was stuck returning my car and replacing the belt with an OEM belt the next day. Lost travel time, long walk, tricky excursion and OEM belt later I find it…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • There are cons

When I bought the PolRis General in 2017 I felt that it was very jumpy and slow at high speeds.

Big difference. When I bought the PolRis General in 2017 I felt that it was very choppy and slow in high gear. Later I made the mistake of not downshifting in a deep ditch and smelled the belt. Later I had problems with the engine light coming on and everything else related to "belt smoking". I did the same thing with my Polaris Sportsman 500 17 years ago. I bought a Gates belt and for the next 17 years and over 8,000 miles I had no problems. So I didn't hesitate. That is different. Immediately

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Shredded belt to fit OEM

Read and trust other reviews. My stock belt glazed over after a few thousand hard miles. I bought this belt, went well (for me) and did not hesitate. less than 250 miles later the belt snaps in the middle of a flat section of track. I don't know if it's a quality control issue or something, but it was more than a waste of money because I was stuck returning my car and replacing the belt with an OEM belt the next day. Lost travel time, long walk, tricky excursion and OEM belt later I find it…

Pros
  • . Flexibility: High quality neoprene with a trapezoidal upper cutout and rounded lower tooth for maximum heat control and flexibility.
Cons
  • Not the best
