1. A power transmission belt comprising:
an elastic main body comprising:
at least one thermoplastic elastomer or a vulcanizate, and
an article surface comprising a top layer surface and a substructure surface comprising a power transmission zone,
wherein the substructure surface comprises a textile overlay,
