Hunterworks has belts made ,they just rebrand another manufacturer, likely Gates, Goodyear or Bando.
There are a lot of belts out there but I'm sure only a couple manufacturers actually make them.
Timken?

Good to know.
I keep my oem belt as a spare and have used Gates for years and no issues. Some people hate them.
Interesting though since Gates doesn't use the cords like polaris belts.
And almost half the cost

I dislike the Polaris OEM belts. They are a pain to change when they go because the cords wrap up in everything. Half the time we end up having to remove the secondary to get the cords out of it.

The Gates Carbon belts just eject themselves completely, and 5 mins later I’m rolling again. Usually 0 cleanup needed.

The new Gates “redline” belts seem to have cords in them. Sticking with the Carbon belts though.

Been told the oem corded type belts are best for the average, everyday driver because it handles the various driving conditions vs the balls to the wall drivers.
The carbon type has its advantages when there is a failure.

I've got 800+ miles on some no name $50 belt I got in Glamis and really didn't even break in. 🤣 Now I had old tires through most of those miles, so it was probably easier on the belt.

If you aren't abusing the belt, and keeping the clutches in good condition, all the belts seem to last awhile honestly.

Yea as a "get you home" there is no reason not to have a cheap belt or 2.

At $40-$50 if you get 500 miles out of an El Cheapo belt, you are money ahead.

It is a genuine Poolaris belt.

Just like genuine Okley sunglasses.

Construct looks good but I bet the rubber smells like far east asian cardboard.😁 Still, I'd bet a very worthy spare to have.
