[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1547942, member: 6291"] Its not so much as a better or worse set up... its about setting up the cvt to your specific use. To some extent the manufactures have turned to a more performance set up due to market demand. A utv 10 years ago came with 23-25", 4 ply tires and you ran 25-45mph or so. Now they come with 26-28" tires, you can put 8-10ply, dot, radial tires. You can put a programmer on a new Ranger 1000 and do 80mph down the highway. The cvts now days are "built up" from factory now more than 10 years ago but they are still designed for all around purposes. The beauty of the cvt is you can make some cheap adjustments and cater to what you use it for like trail riding, drag racing, rock crawling, or work. I personally lock mine up so the belt pretty much can't slip. I also set it up for more low end pull even if it costs me a little bit more on the top end. That fits with what I use mine for like pulling trailers, feeding cattle, climbing hills and creeks with 4 #250+ guys, dog boxes, etc. For some people the factory set up will last for ever. For those of us that demand more out of these things its a cheap upgrade... actually cheaper than the cost of a new belt. [/QUOTE]
