A continuously variable transmission is provided with a drive belt (3) and with a primary pulley (1) and a secondary pulley (2), each including two conically shaped pulley sheaves (4,5) placed on a respective pulley shaft (6,7) and between which the drive belt (3) is held at a variable radial position (R; Rmin; Rmax). The drive belt (3) is provided with transverse elements (32) that are moveable along a circular tensioning element (31) of the drive belt (3), the transverse elements (32) being provided with axially oriented and convexly curved pulley contact faces (40) for arriving into frictional contact with likewise convexly curved outer sheave surfaces (10) of the pulley sheaves (4,5). In this transmission an annular radially inner section (10f) of the outer sheave surface (10) of at least one pulley (1,2) is provided with either a straight or a concave contour as seen in a tangential cross section.
