New Design Timing Belts. What do you Think?

[du907]

I just got these new belts from Bevel Heaven made by an Italian company named Bucci. They are Kevlar and are for various Ducatis, including the 907ie.

When I got them, they have wedge shaped teeth. Our bikes usually have rounded teeth, 70 teeth per belt. I talked to the guys at Bevel Heaven and he said that Bucci has a patented design with these teeth that make them work on Ducatis that use the round tooth belts or the wedge shaped teeth, these belts have 70 teeth. I have enclosed a picture, take a look and see what you think.





The old or original belt is on the outside, the new design belt is on the inside of the bend.
See those 2 points at the end of the teeth. There is some other "textures" on the teeth that doesn't show but apparently this is their patented technology.

Bucci belts are some of the best and always have been

Yes, it's so. Bucci is a very well named brand, but... talking about belts... I always prefer to buy them at the Ducati store.

They are not much cheaper than oe(price is each belt?). Do they still need changing every 2 years?

Nice.

IMO the Kevlar is just as, if not more important, than the shape of the teeth.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Those BH belts have similar tooth to Dayco belts, with a 'groove' at the tip of the tooth.
