With the advent of an explosion in UTV sales, driveline engineering has been pushed to the brink. Previously designed ATV components had been adopted into new UTV platforms or slightly tweaked to meet engineering requirements. UTVs weigh more and carry more load than ever thought possible from an ATV platform. Clutches and drive belts show a weak link as the added load is converted to wasted heat energy. This waste heat deteriorates drive belts and breaks down composite bearing surfaces and parts leading to increased inefficiency. This loss of efficiency only provides more ways to make heat and the vicious cycle repeats until failure. The UTV Blow Hole brings our respected and valued snowmobile product together with its heat fighting abilities to increase drivetrain longevity and ultimately your investment. We developed this out of a desperate need to increase belt and clutch life. Out in the extreme conditions of sand dunes, it has become commonplace to remove belt covers in a desperate attempt to prevent belt failure. While cover removal helps with belt failure, the increased contact with sand leads to premature clutch wear. That's why we've adapted the Blow Hole to fit the UTV market. UTVs place extreme loads on their clutches and belts which generate extreme heat. This heat is your enemy. It leads to premature wear on your clutches and complete belt failure. If you've ever had to change a belt, you know this is the last thing you want to do on the trail or in the sand. The UTV Blow Hole places a high output auxiliary fan in the cooling passages of your clutch housing. It dramatically reduces the peak temperatures generated in the clutch system and also speeds up the cooling of the clutch housing when traveling at lower speeds between high load events. Plug and Play with OEM connectors and no cutting or drilling of stock components.
