Physics for gearheads..or why gear ratios matter

Most all automatic atv's and scooters and most snowmobiles use them. Just don't get the belt wet! My wife's caliber has one. Makes me nervous but functions well. jatco, they call it.

But quick response times? No.

If it's not under power, it takes time to spool up the drive side to get the force needed to engage the cvt. It's noticeable.
