Constant velocity joint with improved profile

A constant velocity ball joint comprising:

• an outer race having a plurality of first tracks separated by first lands, each first land including a first land surface having a ramped portion and a first recessed portion adjacent the ramped portion;
• an inner race having a plurality of second tracks separated by second lands;
• a cage disposed between the races, the cage having an outer cage surface facing the outer race, an inner cage surface facing the inner race, and a plurality of circumferentially distributed windows, the outer cage surface being engageable with the ramped portions of the outer race, the inner cage surface having a frusto-conical portion, and a plurality of second recessed portions adjacent the frusto-conical portion wherein each second recessed portion is at least partially disposed between two windows, and the frusto-conical portion is engageable with the inner race;
• and
• a plurality of torque-transmitting balls engageable with the tracks for transmitting torque between the races, one ball being disposed in each window.
