Using the latest in-belt technology gives the following benefits:
- Increased durability at high temperatures which can be found in the engine bay of tuned vehicles.
- Increased performance in cold weather and condition.
- Lightweight and good friction tolerance properties which means that excess tension is not required while anti-sound properties reduces belt squeal.
Back face is blue colored with HKS logo.
- Blue is used in HKS intake hose which is for coordination in the whole engine bay. Colored nylon fabric used for good anti-color fading properties.
- HKS logo, product name, and belt length are printed on each belt.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Rubber was selected because of:
- Better durability and performance in hotter or colder conditions with improved friction tolerance.
- Much lighter than previous version of belt.
- Short fiber mixture in rib rubber improves the performance over previous version.

HKS
In October 1973, two talented and spirited young engineers had a vision; to design and build high performance engines and components that major OE manufacturers could not or would not produce.Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Goichi Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name “HKS ”), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. A year later, Mr. Hasegawa designed and built the first aftermarket turbocharger for passenger cars and has never looked back.
HKS pioneered the Japanese aftermarket performance industry by delivering a host of exciting new products, including the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller. Other early products included piggy-back fuel computers and sophisticated fuel management tools. Clearly HKS was Driving Performance trends for Japanese vehicles.
