To provide a transmission V-belt that can suppress exothermic heat even when being used for a small-sized belt type stepless speed change device, and can suppress peeling of a core wire and generation of cracks in a compressed rubber layer.SOLUTION: A core wire of a transmission V-belt is formed by Lang' lay cords obtained by doubling and ply-twisting a plurality of
aramid fiber-containing first twist yarns, and a total
fineness of the core wire is adjusted to 1,000-3,500 dtex. Tensile strength per wire of the core wire may be 500-1,000 N. A
pitch of the core wire may be larger by 0.05-0.25 mm than an
average diameter of the core wire, and an
average diameter of the core wire may be 0.4-1 mm. An elongation rigidity per mm
pitch width of the belt may be 6,500-20,000 N, and a
flexural rigidity per mm
pitch width of the belt may be 40-260 N (mm)2. A thickness of the transmission V-belt may be 5-12 mm, and a pitch width may be 10-25 mm. The transmission V-belt may be a low edge V-belt having a cog at least on the inner
peripheral surface side, and the transmission V-belt may be a gear change belt to be used for a small-sized belt type stepless speed change device.SELECTED DRAWING: None
