A constant velocity joint includes a male element ( 4 ) having at least two trunions ( 8 ) and a shaft ( 12 ) with an outside diameter (DAE). A respective wheel ( 32 ) is mounted to rotate on each trunion ( 8 ). The joint also includes a female element ( 20 ) having, for each wheel ( 32 ), a pair of paths ( 22, 24 ) and defining a path primary circle (PCD). The ratio of the outside diameter (DAE) of the shaft ( 12 ) to the path primary circle diameter (PCD) is greater than 0.55.
