Learn more about how our Lightning Belts can maximize the efficiency of your lawn and garden machinery, and see how they stack up against the competition.

Engineered for the Harshest Lawn & Garden and Agricultural Applications

When standard belts wear out too quickly, Bestorq’s LIGHTNING® V-Belts keep going. These belts are engineered to withstand extreme shock loads, misalignment, and clutching, making them ideal for everything from zero-turn mowers to heavy-duty ag equipment. Designed, tested, and manufactured in Lincoln, Nebraska, LIGHTNING® belts deliver unmatched longevity and reliability.

Why Choose Lightning® Belts for Lawn & Garden Use?

  • Constructed with an outer rubber-impregnated fabric cover for maximum crack, wear, and weather resistance
  • Low coefficient cover resists belt turnover and roll—ideal for misaligned drives or clutch applications
  • Made from synthetic rubber with a high modulus, low-shrink Kevlar tensile member (not an aramid blend)
  • Flexible design, yet exceptionally stable for long drive applications
  • Meets or exceeds ARPM IP-23 standard; pair with pulleys made to IP-23 or IP-20
