Driving the Future

We’re helping the bicycle industry come unchained. Our Carbon Drive belts replace antiquated chains with a solution that’s stronger, cleaner, quieter, more reliable and virtually maintenance- free. These performance advantages, combined with our large and ever-growing product line of sprockets, cranks and drive train components is why Gates Carbon Drive belts have been chosen by hundreds of the world’s top manufacturers. Our innovation is available on thousands of bicycle models across all categories of styles—from ebikes and city commuters to mountain bikes, cargo, BMX, global trekking and even spin class stationary bikes. Gates is also pushing advances in bike sharing. Bike share programs have proliferated in cities worldwide, helping to relieve traffic congestion by providing low-cost rental bikes for short trips and “last mile” commuting to and from mass transit hubs. By using Gates Carbon Drive, bike share programs reduce fleet maintenance costs, increase customer satisfaction and enable the deployment of more bikes in more locations.
