F500 Transmission
F500 uses an advanced Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), similar to that used in snowmobiles.
These advanced belt driven automatic transmissions are tuned to optimize the power curve of a two-stroke engine, constantly keeping the engine at its peak power. One of the key benefits of the CVT is that it is a stepless transmission. This allows all of the engine's power to be transmitted to the drive wheels at all times. Another benefit is its low cost as compared to a traditional multi-gear transmission.
