Continental debuts new heavy-duty belt

Continental introduced its new Extreme Duty Poly-V belt at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week in Las Vegas Monday.

Tom Lee, Continental’s marketing manager for North American aftermarket products, says the belt, designed for class 6-8 trucks.

Currently, he says, they are being offered in 8, 10 and 12-ribbed profiles.

Continental says the Extreme Duty Poly-V straight-ribbed belt performs better under higher underhood temperatures and comes with a 100,000-mile guarantee.

Lee says the belt offers four times the flex life of previous belts.
