Continuously variable transmission

A continuously variable transmission comprising:

• a main input shaft into which a driving force from a drive source is inputted;
• a continuously variable transmission mechanism;
• a first input path that connects the main input shaft to the continuously variable transmission mechanism;
• a second input path that connects the main input shaft to the continuously variable transmission mechanism;
• an input switching mechanism that selectively transmits a driving force from the main input shaft to the first input path or the second input path;
• a first output path that outputs a driving force from the continuously variable transmission mechanism, the driving force outputted by the first output path having been changed by a first predetermined gear ratio;
• a second output path that outputs the driving force from the continuously variable transmission mechanism, the driving force outputted by the second output path having been changed by a second predetermined gear ratio;
• and
• an output switching mechanism that selectively transmits the driving force outputted by the continuously variable transmission mechanism to the first output path or the second output path,
• wherein a first speed-reducing gear that decreases a speed of an input into the continuously variable transmission mechanism is disposed in the first input path,
• wherein a speed-increasing gear that increases the speed of the input into the continuously variable transmission mechanism is disposed in the second input path,
• wherein a second speed-reducing gear that decreases a speed of the output from the continuously variable transmission mechanism is disposed in the first output path, and
• wherein a third speed-reducing gear that decreases the speed of the output from the continuously variable transmission mechanism is disposed in the second output path, the third speed-reducing gear having a speed reduction ratio which is different from a speed reduction ratio of the second speed-reducing gear.
