The XE model is equipped
with a continuously
variable transmission for smooth changing
through an infinite number of different speeds
from minimum to maximum. |
|
CVT enables maintenance
of engine speeds
at peak efficiency, improving fuel economy and
exhaust emissions. |
|
|
| The advantages of CVT: |
- limitless speed control which
gives
a "hydrostatic" drive feeling.
- no clutch required to change
speed.
- smoother speed lever.
- easy to drive between trees and
bushes.
- reduced fluid maintenance.

| How it works: |
There are two V-belt
pulleys that are split
perpendicular to their axes of rotation, with
a V-belt running between them. |
