Gatorback Technical Characteristics
Fit & Relax
Gatorback belt automatic
cover
warranty
It’s so simple
Warranty cover
Fit & Relax is aimed at the established installer (1) (VAT registered) within EU operating under conditions of acknowledged capabilities (tools,
procedures & skills) to fit Goodyear Engineered Products. Simply buying
and fitting genuine Goodyear Engineered Products Gatorback belts from an
approved Goodyear Engineered Products agent /wholesaler gives automatic
inclusion to Fit & Relax.
Fit & Relax covers the installer for 60.000 Kilometres
or 3 years(2). Should any genuine Goodyear Gatorback
belt suffer an “honest” failure (3) within this period,
Veyance Technologies Europe will pay to repair the
engine – parts & labour (4)(5).
Special EPDM material used in Gatorback prevents noise
build up with small misalignments on multi pulley drives.
This results in operating noise reduction up to 15 dB vs.
standard poly-v belts.
Due to unique HelicogTM diagonally shaped cogged
ribs less strain on the rib is produced when a belt
runs over a back idler, so rib cracks are less likely to
occur.
HelicogTM also provides a self cleaning effect if
contaminated with dust or water and better flexing
capability of the belt.
The choice of the right belt distinguishes the winners from the
others. Only the strongest and most enduring will make the challenge and win world’s most challenging car races, such as Nascar
and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Optimal performance will always be
achieved, even in the most demanding circumstances. Make a
winning choice. Choose Gatorback!

Improved grip
(1)
The original invoice for belt and labour initial
instalment shall mention the individual belt traceability
code. Please copy the code on the Gatorback sticker on
the inner side of the sleeve.
Operating benefits:
• Reduction in operating noise up to 15 dB
• Longer life to standard poly-v belts due to
– self cleaning effect,
– better flex capability,
– higher rib flank contact.
• Improved operating grip and longer flex life
• Belt design to keep consistent performance at high rpm
Gatorback's cogged ribs don’t swell
when wrapped around a small
diameter pulley. Contact surface
with the pulley stays the same
compared to standard poly-v belts
where contact surface with the
pulley is significantly reduced.
