Who is Gates?
Gates Corporation is a US-based company with a long tradition and one of the world's largest suppliers of belts and drive systems for automobiles, two-wheelers, transportation and materials handling. The Carbon Drive was developed by Gates specifically for use on bicycles and was launched in 2006 as the first operational product of its kind.
Gates has continued to build on this lead, optimizing its products and expanding its product range. With a selection of different product lines, compatibility with all established drive standards - mechanical as well as electrical - and a wide range of components, Gates is today both market and technology leader in belt drive systems for bicycles and e-bikes. And the benchmark for quality and performance.
State-of-the-art technologies, high-end materials and a patented design ensure reduced friction, minimal wear and a significantly longer service life for the Carbon Drive than for conventional drives.
Carbon, high-end plastics and weight-optimized CNC components. A bicycle chain without chainrings alone weighs as much as a Gates Carbon Drive belt together with the front and rear pulley.
Closed, circumferential carbon fiber strands transmit drive power directly and without elastic stretch for maximum safety and efficiency. The patented tooth profile prevents the belt from skipping even when high force is applied.

"...nice points about the Gates Carbon Drive system are that it´s a really low maintenance system, it lasts seemingly forever - much longer than a chain and doesn´t need to be lubricated..."
