Is Honda CVT using a steel belt or a chain?
1 Answers
Honda's CVT uses a steel belt. The steel belt in Honda's CVT is primarily developed in-house, with its biggest feature being specifically designed to match Honda's corresponding vehicle models. Below are the differences between CVT chains and steel belts: 1. Overall, CVT chains are not as durable as steel belts. CVT chains have less impact on the cone pulley, while the strength of steel belts is far inferior to that of chains, so CVTs using steel belts cannot withstand higher torque. 2. Using a steel belt CVT, although it may produce more noise, can handle higher torque and offers better durability.
