A reduction of the friction generated between the saddle surface and the ring of the element, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the durability and power transmission belt.
A continuously variable transmission, and a transmission belt comprising a ring disposed between a pair of pillars of the plurality of elements and a plurality of elements having a pair of pillars, arranged radially inside the drive belt and a lubrication medium supply section, each of the plurality of elements, extending in the width direction along the saddle surface and a pair of rocking edge portion formed at intervals in the width direction, between the pair of rocking edge portion non-contact portion and further includes a first or between the elements to each other included in the winding portion of the second pulley, communicates the non-contact portion with the radially inner region than transmission belt transmission belt that clearance to is formed.
