Belt (3) for use in a continuous variable transmission, comprising an endless carrier (4) for taking op tensile forces within said belt (3), and a plurality of transverse elements (5) provided moveable in the longitudinal direction along said carrier (4), which elements (5) are provided with at least one saddle surface (8) for contacting the carrier (4), which saddle surface (8) defines an ultimate mutual position of the said carrier (4) and the said elements (5) relative to each other within the belt (3) in radial direction, with a tapered lower element part including a rocking edge (9) and with an upper element part (10, 11; 14) extending radially above the said rocking edge (9) and beyond the carrier (4), at least when the carrier (4) and the saddle surface (8) are in mutual contact. By an adaptation of a critical radial height HSE of the upper element part (10, 11; 14) of at least a majority of the elements (5) of the belt (3) in relation to a circumference length L of the belt (3) an amount of play (EPC) present between the transverse elements (5) is removed, at least would be when mounted and run in a transmission by mutual contact between the upper element parts (10, 11; 14) of at least two transverse elements (5) in a concavely shaped slack trajectory part of the belt (3) in between the pulleys (1, 2).
