Is Honda CVT a Steel Belt or Chain?
1 Answers
Honda's CVT uses a steel belt. Currently, most vehicles with CVT structures adopt the steel belt transmission method. This transmission method can alter the transmission ratio by adjusting the size of the pulley and can bear greater torque. Overall, CVT chains are less durable than steel belts. Here are the reasons: 1. CVT chains have less impact on the cone discs, while the strength of steel belts is significantly lower than that of chains. Therefore, CVTs using steel belts cannot withstand high torque. 2. Although steel belt CVTs generate more noise, they can handle greater torque and offer better durability.
