THE FUTURE OF BICYCLE DRIVE

Gates Belt Drive is a carbon fiber reinforced drive belt with a patented tooth design. It has been specially developed for use on bicycles and pedelecs. Thanks to circumferential, closed carbon strands, the Belt Drive transmits the drive power to the rear wheel with high efficiency and without backlash, without stretching elastically. A center guide of the belt, called Center Track, prevents it from jumping off the pulleys. 

A Belt Drive belt, unlike the chain, requires neither lubrication nor special care. Dirt and mud can simply be removed with water. Rust and oil deposits are a thing of the past. The Belt Drive is cleaner, quieter, lighter and more durable than a classic chain drive. A Belt Drive on your bike means minimal maintenance and maximum performance - for more fun cycling.

No rust or oil residue for clean fingers and pant legs. The Gates Belt Drive does not require any lubrication. It has a dirt-repellent surface and can be easily cleaned with water when needed.

No more rattling, clattering or squeaking. This is now a thing of the past. The Gates Carbon Drive works quietly and unobtrusively with constant efficiency and thus provides more enjoyment while cycling.

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.
