Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a drive pulley for a continuously variable transmission including a stationary sheave with a stationary shaft, a movable sheave axially movable relative to the stationary sheave and in contact with the stationary shaft; a spider in contact with at least the moveable sheave and stationary shaft; a spring member, biasing the movable sheave axially away from the stationary sheave; at least one centrifugal actuator including an arm pivotally connected to one of the movable sheave and the spider, the arm pivoting away from the one of the movable sheave and the spider as a speed of rotation of the drive pulley increases, the arm pushing against another one of the movable sheave and the spider as the arm pivots away from the one of the movable sheave and the spider, thereby moving the movable sheave axially toward the stationary sheave, the at least one centrifugal actuator being disposed radially outward of the stationary sheave shaft; and a torque transfer assembly operatively connected to at least one of the spider and the movable sheave, the torque transfer assembly transferring torque between the spider and the movable sheave, the torque transfer assembly including, a torque bearing assembly and at least one roller assembly, positioned on a helixed torque pin, the torque pin connected to the spider; wherein as the roller assembly wears, the at least one roller assembly tracks along a helixed path of the torque pin in a distal direction from the bearing assembly.
