Certainly! The pitch has nothing to do with the actual tooth profile, as most all of the tooth profiles are available in numerous Pitches (spacing). The first cogged belts were commonly referred to as an HTD profile, which was basically a semi circle attached to the belt. Essentially that is what Polaris decided to use as the tooth profile on the QD. With the HTD, semi circular tooth, there is little to no resistance to the belt climbing up the sprocket tooth other than the belt tension and tensile strength. Since the HTD there have been numerous upgrades to the tooth profiles.
Since I started working on a prototype CVT for sleds twenty years ago, when the belt technology still could not handle the shock loads a sled delivered, the tooth profile has gone from what Gates calls the GT to the GT2. Both of which are shaped like an involute gear tooth with subtle differences for load handling properties and noise reduction. By changing the tooth shape the tooth has more straight on bite / contact with the sprocket tooth and is more resistant to climbing regardless of the load placed on it. The other benefit of the newer tooth profile is less heat generation as the tooth does not grind its way into the pocket in the sprocket, like the HTD profile does because of the teeth in front of it trying to climb out of the sprocket. The GT and GT2 profiles essentially do not touch the sprocket until making full contact. Also Gates has gone from a Kevlar cord, that still had some stretch, to a Carbon fibre cord that has zero stretch and unbelievable strength.
It is my belief if Polaris had indeed used Gates' GT2 Carbon belts (even if they opted to have Gates make them in their 11mm pitch (which is reserved for special large clientele to license from them by the production run) there would be near zero issues with the QD. Polaris could still charge whatever they deemed appropriate for the belts and they would have reaped a near 100 percent satisfaction with the Quick Drive as delivered.
If you look closely at what most top fuel cars use to drive their blowers, it may be an 11mm pitch but the majority are not using the HTD profile. Most are using the Gates Carbon belt in the GT2 tooth profile. Which is a far cry from the antiquated HTD belts of yesteryear and what Polaris opted to give us with the QD.
Hopefully that sheds more light on my previous comments and opinions.
