Honda has announed today that it has developed a new automatic transmission, CV-Matic which can be used in combination with Cub-Sytle engines.

The new CV-Matic features a new cooling system developed on the basis of Honda's small-motorcyle automatic transmission technology which protects the drive belt from high temperatures enhancing the durability and at the same time allowing for a more compact design with shorter distance between the pulleys.
