Hi Sean,
Unfortunately, I don't have a data sheet to back this up. We spoke directly with a few belt manufacturers, off the record on this topic.

Of course those users who would prefer GT2 belts can purchase them from any number of suppliers. VEXpro has chosen HTD based on the feedback we received, and some simple preliminary testing.

If you have any concerns, feel free to email prosupport@vex.com to discuss further.

-John
