Disclosed is a modified CVT flyweight that allows for a 1 to 15 degree bidirectional change of pitch-angle of the cam section of a flyweight to variably affect the load placed on a connected drive-unit to match changes in elevation or terrain. Enabling the cam pitch-angle adjustment is a secondary pivotal axis (separate from the primary centrifugal axis) that is incrementally rotated and held in position by a manually rotated threaded fastener acting as a cantilever upon one side of the pivot. There may be removable weights in the form of threaded screws, pins or rivets that can be added or subtracted from the flyweight in addition to changes in the cam pitch-angle to affect the overall mass of the flyweight and also adjust the maximum RPM's of the engine.
