Yes, roller weight primarily changes how quickly gearing changes but it can also change the final ratio. That happens if the lighter rollers don't weigh enough to fully close the variator to the narrowest width / largest diameter.


You can also change final gearing by changing gears

Or you can buy variators and clutches with different ramps for different ratios.

It isn't as easy as changing a sprocket on a motorcycle and adjusting the chain but you can change overall gearing on a scooter with a CVT.
