This is really well built belt. I highly recommend it. It is on par with the stock belt and isn't supposed to shred into strips if it breaks. I usually don't buy aftermarket belts but after reading everyone's reviews on atv sites I gave it a shot and I'm very satisfied so far. I only have 10 hours on the belt as of right now but i have been driving it daily. My rig is a 2008 ranger 700 xp with a 6" lift gorilla axles and radial outlaws. I am also clutched. No issues so far.
