Qualitatively analyze a greater variety of tuning parameters and their interdependencies regardless of the running state of the vehicle

50% weight loss35 mph top speed2 point mounting - remove chainbox without removing CVT- able to open on car O-ring sealing replaces adhesives

Adjustable engine positioning allows for flexibility in CVT belt testing, counterbalances flywheel inertia, and allows for easy operator access

Geared flywheel allows for safe & repeated simulation of vehicle at dead-stop acceleration and can be used with any CVT in the future

Wider ratio compensates for a lower reduction while offering a greater range of more easily andfinely tunable parameters
