How does a Gates belt drive work?

Gates belt drives replace the traditional chain with a carbon fiber reinforced belt and precision sprockets. No links, no lubrication points — just smooth, direct power transfer with every pedal stroke.

How long does a Gates belt drive last? Will it stretch over time?

Gates belts are rated for 30,000+ kilometers without stretching, corroding, or degrading. Fewer replacements, less downtime, and lower long-term ownership costs.

Can I add a Gates belt drive to my bike?

Gates belt drives require a frame with a breakaway dropout or split stay to allow belt installation. Many modern framesets are Gates-ready out of the box, and retrofit kits are available for compatible existing frames. Gates works directly with frame manufacturers to simplify integration at the design stage.

Is my eBike compatible with a Gates belt drive?

Gates CDX and CDN systems are compatible with a broad range of internal gear hubs and mid-drive e-bike motors, including Enviolo, Shimano Alfine, and Bosch. Designed for straightforward OEM integration across commuter, cargo, and performance platforms.
