  •  CVT automatically selects the optimum transmission ratio, meaning you are always in the right "gear"
  • Ultramatic® design offers controllable, confidence inspiring downhill engine braking
  • Downhill engine braking also reduces brake wear & related servicing
  • Ultramatic® design utilizes a special centrifugal clutch which keeps constant tension on the V-belt, reducing belt wear since the belt does not slip as the clutches engage
  • High mounted belt cooling ducts help prevent water ingestion
  • V-belt housing has an easy access "no tools required" drain plug
  • Automotive style, gated, 5-postion shifter (high, low, neutral, reverse & park)
