Gates CDX Belt
Item number: 83795
The Gates CDX belt is perfect for long-distance and off-road riding. It is 12 mm wide and consists of strong carbon fibre strands, a weather-resistant polyurethane body and a nylon running side. The back of the belt is ribbed for better dirt repellency.
The main advantages of the Gates Carbon Drive system are cleanliness, smoothness and robustness. Urban commuters as well as mountain bikers, e-bike users or leisure riders benefit from the high mileage. Oil-stained or rusty chains are a thing of the past.
Clean: No lubricant means no accumulation of grease and dirt.
Smooth and silent operation: no metal-to-metal contact of the chains.
Light: The whole system weighs less than a standard bicycle chain.
No elongation: Belt does not need to be re-tensioned or replaced.
Self-cleaning: CenterTrack and MudPort profiles are specially designed to repel mud, dirt, snow or other contaminants.
Consistent efficiency: The drive boasts a long service life compared to that of a conventional chain, where efficiency is significantly reduced by wear or dirt.
Installing a Gates Carbon Drive Belt Drive requires a specially-made frame, therefore we strongly advise against modifying a conventional frame.
Belt tension
For optimal function of the Gates Carbon Drive System, correct belt tension is essential. Common tension adjustment systems include inclined or vertical dropouts, horizontally sliding dropouts (not recommended by Gates) and eccentric bottom brackets.
There are several common methods to measure the tension of your Carbon Drive system, most notably the Eco Tension Tester, the Spring Tension Tester and the Gates Carbon Drive Smartphone App. Gates Carbon Drive tension recommendations are as follows:
