Abstract
A transmission belt for a continuously variable transmission includes, transverse elements () and an endless carrier () for keeping together the transverse elements (), each transverse element () provided with a rocking edge () showing a curvature for allowing neighbouring transverse elements () to mutually tilt about an substantially axially oriented contact line () over a tilting angle (α), so that a part of the belt may pass along a longitudinally bent trajectory, the curvature of the rocking edge () defined such that it notionally displaces the contact line () in dependence on the tilting angle (α,β).
