I believe I was incorrect earlier and all drive modes have the shifts. However to get the trans in sport mode you have to put it in S instead of D. So sport drive mode in D on the shifter isnāt full sport mode. Raiti did it full sport and the launch was much more aggressive.7 minutes into the video and I'm wondering if he tested the acceleration letting the CVT do its infinitely-variable thing without the pseudo-shifts.
Maybe he just isnāt a very good driver?
The way my FK7ās CVT is programmed, S mode ā after clicking a paddle shifter to put it into 7-speed mode ā will auto-shift more frequently than either D or S modes left to āfake shiftā on their own. It feels like the motor spends more time in the torque peak, then, when itās automatically micro-adjusting ratios instead of stepping between 7 ratios.I believe I was incorrect earlier and all drive modes have the shifts.
