Continuously variable transmission and saddle ride-type vehicle

摘要

In the continuously variable transmission, a slanted angle ¸2 (¸4) of a surface of a first (second) outer peripheral portion 42b (43b) with respect to a plane perpendicular to an axis of an immovable (movable) pulley member 42 (43) is greater than a slanted angle ¸1 (¸3) of a surface of a first inner peripheral portion 42a (43a) with respect to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the immovable (movable) pulley member 42 (43). Further, at the maximum reduction ratio, a first lateral surface 39a of a V-belt 39 makes contact with the first inner peripheral portion 42a without making contact with the first outer peripheral portion 42b, whereas a second lateral surface 39b of the V-belt 39 makes contact with the second inner peripheral portion 43a without making contact with the second outer peripheral portion 43b.
