I did a 4 belt report last year running Carbon, XS, 8DN & 8JP back to back to back on same day, same trails, same riding styles measuring rpm's & temps.
I put 500 to 1000 miles on each during the week.
The XS was 200-300 rpm's lower then the 8JP with MY set up.
It also ran hotter & didn't feel as snappy. I couldn't check top end numbers at that time.
I believed then, and STILL believe, with some set up adjustments, it would be the BEST belt.
I didn't have time for any more clutch playing so i stuck with the 8JP that gave me the best performance of the 4.
I may re-run this belt against the 8JP first ride of year since there were some minor clutch adjustments made after the tests.
AGAIN, before people bash my findings, the XS ran cleaner, went on easier and just flat out looks like the best quality belt out there not to mention they are warrantied.
Even the name ULTIMAX just sounds mean!

I usually buy 2-3 belts at a time from them so I get free shipping. Net cost to me is $89.55 each. Looks like today lowest on eBay are $97.55 each. If I intend to only buy 1 belt (which I usually don't), then I find something else to get so total goes up past $99.99 (only need to find $10.40 worth of stuff). A couple spark plugs will do that.
