Good in theory, gay in practice; at least the ones I have ridden/driven

>gay in practice
Explain your poor decisions.

Poorly execution of a good idea.
If anything it should work like a bicycle where the chain/band actually hops through different diameter cogs instead of this idiotic "let's just squeeze it up and down".
Also, good luck rebuilding one.

Just get an 8 speed
Isaac Thomas
Are you sure that would be good to do at such high rpms?
Brandon Ross
Good for Snowmobiles and Golf Carts, That's it.

They're called snow machines, city slicker.
Henry Taylor
fantastic if you have an engine made for operating at one speed
the problem is car makers use existing engines tacked onto CVTs, which are made for variable RPM

CVT means Continuously Variable Transmission
If there were individual cogs it would no longer be continuously variable
Then it would just be a gearbox
