Gates T216RB Blue Racing High-Performance Timing Belt

The Gates T216RB is a high-performance racing timing belt engineered for demanding, high-output engines. Constructed from HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) elastomeric composites, this belt delivers up to 300% more strength than a standard OEM timing belt and offers up to three times the heat resistance — making it a proven choice for high-horsepower and interference engine applications. The signature blue color provides a distinctive look under the hood while the real-world performance upgrades speak for themselves.

Key Features:

• Wear-Resistant Teeth: High-saturation HNBR elastomeric composites provide exceptional durability and heat resistance, reinforced with aramid fiber for added toughness.
• Reinforced Tooth Jacket: A robust nylon fiber tooth jacket delivers extra wear resistance, effectively doubling the strength of each tooth.
• Super-Strong Tensile Cord: Premium high-strength glass tensile cords provide outstanding longitudinal rigidity and load-carrying capacity.
• Precision Ground Profile: Belts are precision ground — not cut — ensuring an exact pulley fit and consistent tooth engagement.
• Extreme Heat Resistance: The heat-resistant elastomer compound withstands extreme under-hood temperatures and resists cracking under sustained load.

The Gates T216RB Blue Racing Timing Belt is purpose-built for high-RPM performance tuning applications where a standard timing belt simply isn't enough. It is an ideal upgrade when building or refreshing a high-performance engine.
