Malossi Special Belt V-Belt – extra tear-resistant for Piaggio/Vespa Ciao with Variomatic

The Malossi Special Belt is a tuning V-belt for vehicles with Variomatic and is clearly aimed at setups where you value durability and high tear resistance – especially with heavily tuned engines. Malossi is known for convincing and sophisticated tuning parts.

Important to know: Due to the aramid insert, the V-belt may slip, especially during the start-up phase. This is exactly where the gear ratio is still very small and a corresponding amount of force acts on the rear converter. To ensure your Piaggio Ciao setup grips cleanly (e.g., also on the Piaggio Ciao PX), proper tuning is crucial.

Advantages & Tuning Notes

• Very durable and tear-resistant – ideal for heavily tuned engines
• Aramid insert for high strength (but can promote more slippage)
• May slip during the start-up phase (small gear ratio, high load on the converter)
• Recommendation: Installation of a harder contrast spring and tuning of the Variomatic is almost indispensable
