They are $65 vs $185 and almost identical dimensions. 0627-048

I also found the Cat belt not to spit strings so soon as the Poo belt. It seems as the string is not so visible from new, the Poo belt has the strings right at the contact surface while the Cat belt has them buried the rubber, well at least on my belt. Can anyone else confirm this?

Confirmed on mine as well. My factory belt split the string at around 600 miles. Since then I have put on the Cat 048 belt and have had no issues with almost double that amount of miles. Plus like mentioned above at less than half the cost.

Interesting thought... I noticed on my last 115 poo belt the cord was actually outside the rubber. Pulled a cord at 60 miles and was completely trashed at 200 miles. The new one I just picked up looks the same.
I am worried about a performance difference using the cat belt but might need to try one.

I wouldn't be worried about performance. If anything I have found the Cat belt to be much better all around

I looked in too it as well. They are $115 at Argyl Motorsports. They are 1.448" wide and 46.986" length. They should work. Might need to re-shim your spider but depends on how much your tolerances are out. I haven't ran one yet, but I will in the near future.

I think I will try the cat belt. My stock polaris belt blew up into about a 100 pieces at 650 miles. I don't think it's worth the $200 for another stock belt.

I ran the dayco belt last year on my boost it pro and lasted twice as long as a stock Polaris belt and only 100 bucks
