A constant velocity joint includes an inner race having inner ball tracks extending between opposite inner race sides and an outer race having outer ball tracks extending between opposite outer race sides. The inner ball tracks have an inner ball track radius of curvature extending between the inner race sides. The outer ball tracks have an outer ball track radius of curvature extending between the outer race sides. At least one inner ball track radius of curvature has a convex curvature and at least one inner ball track radius of curvature has a concave curvature, and/or, the inner ball track radius of curvature of at least one inner ball track has a radius origin offset from the central axis of rotation, and/or, the outer ball track radius of curvature of at least one outer ball track has a radius origin offset from the central axis of rotation.
