Abstract: A crosslinked rubber composition includes: a rubber component containing a first polymer which is an ethylene-?-olefin elastomer having an ethylene content of less than 60% by mass and a second polymer which is an ethylene-?-olefin elastomer having an ethylene content of 60% by mass or more; and short fibers dispersed in the rubber component. The rubber component is crosslinked by using organic peroxide as a crosslinking agent. The content of the organic peroxide in a not-yet crosslinked rubber composition is 1 part by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.

Abstract: A raw edge V-belt includes: a compression rubber layer formed on an inner side of the belt and made of a rubber composition. The rubber composition contains a rubber component, fine cellulose fibers, and short fibers. The content of the short fibers in the rubber composition is 25 parts by mass or more and 45 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, and the volume fraction of the short fibers in the rubber composition is 12.5 vol % or more.
