Buying Guide Drive Belts for Polaris Xpedition

Here are some factors to remember:

Belt Construction

The best belt drives in the market should be made from premium materials like Aramid fiber and specialized rubber compounds. The former offers exceptional tensile strength for resisting deformation under intense loading, much of which is due to its Kevlar build. On the other hand, belts made from rubber compounds enjoy optimized grip and heat dissipation qualities, especially if they have friction modifiers and carbon reinforcement thrown in the mix. These belt drives offer durable, reliable, and consistent performance over the harshest terrains and driving conditions. 

Performance and Power Transmission

Drive belts are rated on the quality of their power transmission and performance over transitional motions. You should always choose drive belts that are rated and engineered for optimal power transfer. These drive belts deliver high-powered performances in their smooth and responsive acceleration, regardless of the operating/driving conditions.

Compatibility and Fitment

Getting optimal performance and power transmission out of the drive belt in question is crucial. Only go for drive belts designed for your vehicle's engine size, horsepower rating, and transmission type. Note down your stock drive belt's width, length, and tooth profile, and use it as a handy shopping guide to avoid picking the wrong belt and potential compatibility issues. If part numbers are available, you can also note them and use them to identify if the drive belt will match your unit.

Resistance to Heat and Abrasion

Heat and abrasion are the most common challenges encountered during off-road driving. The former usually stresses the car's engine components and triggers overheating and premature failure, while abrasion increases the risk of frictional wear. To tackle these problems, choose belts with specialized coatings or treatments that provide the necessary resistance. They'll help provide thermal stability and prolong the belt's life, guaranteeing long-lasting performance.

Operating Environment

Consider your riding conditions and the terrain type you regularly ply when choosing drive belts for your Polaris Xpedition. If light cruises on regular trails are your thing, you should be fine with a standard rubber belt. However, if you frequently tread on tough terrains, you'll need the resilience and strength that comes with Kevlar belts. Similarly, if you drive in cold regions, you'll need belts designed for this condition to avoid cracking or chunking. For hot-climate terrains, request belts treated with compounds that resist hardening and glazing from heat exposure.
