Regardless of where you ride or how much horsepower your vehicle has, EVP Alpha Drive Belts reimagine what’s expected from a UTV performance belt.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability comes from a newly blended synthetic rubber with advanced cord technology, as well as belt face angles that are precision machined to extremely strict specs. The compound, cord materials and finish are the keys to Alpha Drive Belts’ strength and performance. In total, EVP tested six different compounds. Although all were superior to anything else on the market, the one we selected stood out among the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tested Alpha belts under a variety of conditions and horsepower levels (including stock) throughout the demanding testing and development phases. This included countless Mainline Dyno pulls on 600+ horsepower machines to simulate the absolute harshest conditions these belts would ever encounter. Additional testing was performed in the grueling BITD Vegas to Reno endurance race where EVP racers ran the entire race without failure. Not only did the Alpha Belt last up to TWO TIMES the life of OEM and other baseline competitors on the Mainline, but it also posted the lowest belt temperatures we’ve ever seen during a desert race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eWe have short course racers that now go from the dyno to qualifying to race and do not change belts. Prior to Alpha, racers would typically require three belts – one for the dyno, one for practice\/qualifying, and one for each race. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to strength, the Alpha Belt consistently showed the highest horsepower runs vs OEM or any of the other compounds we tested. On average, it was 10-12 WHP more than any other belt. More engine power was being transmitted to the hubs and less was being wasted in slippage and heat – it was clear early on Alpha Belts were an absolute game changer for putting power to the driveline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLaunch acceleration unlike anything available thanks to precision-machined sidewall angles that deliver insane pulls off the line compared to standard knife-cut angles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrecision-machined belt face angles finished to strict specifications deliver more belt-to-sheave contact resulting in lower belt temperatures, and more power to the ground compared to knife-cut finished belts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTested and proven performance on EVP’s most powerful race X3’s and RZR’s (tested to 800 crank HP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStronger pulls, plus more durability and reliability compared to anything else in the market including OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-new advanced rubber compound with maximum fiber loading to transmit the most horsepower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrategically reinforced highly engineered top and bottom cog designs resist cupping, deformation and delamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructed with an ultra-strong Aramid cord with high twist characteristics for greater shock absorption and load capabilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and constructed to dissipate heat for drastically lower belt and clutch temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProven performance in the most severe conditions and on the highest horsepower machines, offering the greatest durability and performance on the market today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEVP DISCLAIMER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpha Belts will not cure clutching issues!
