This is very interesting! Jonathan, please explain more as to 1 vs 2 vs 3 belts! Pros and cons!

I find the 3 belts on the original XX4 easier to deal with compared to the X-5's one belt, suffered a lot from belt skip on that one (even with 3 belt rollers mounted, two idlers etc). Still a great car, make no mistake about it!

But the belts on the XX4 when put on astro break very easily... I guess there's too little flex on such short belts? And also they are quite narrow.

And it's a shame! The xx4 is just AMAZING to drive! No matter the conditions!!!

Another thing, isn't the xx4 narrower than for instance a B44?
