    BRINGING ON THE QUIET REVOLUTION

    Gates® Moto X5 belts are ideal for mid-drive eBikes as well as electric or traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles. Our breakthrough belt technology combines a high-stiffness, long-lasting synthetic compound with our long-proven carbon fiber cord reinforcement. This delivers significant improvements over other materials – even aramid and steel.

     

    The innovative Moto X5 belt is even quieter than its predecessors (up to 15 decibels lower than chain). It’s more energy-efficient, too, which helps to improve the range of electric models.

    THE FUTURE OF MOTORCYCLE DRIVETRAINS

    Whether you’re a cruiser, a commuter, or a competitor; whether you’re pushing pedals or twisting a throttle, unchain your ride with a Gates Belt Drive.

    DURABLE, EFFICIENT, COST-EFFECTIVE MOTO X5

    Constructed with high-strength materials, the Gates Moto X5 motorcycle belt endures the rigors of the road

     

    • Carbon HD Tensile Cord – high modulus and dimensional stability resists stretching or deformation over load, keeping pitch fit constant
    • Next Gen Synthetic Compound – high strength, high stiffness
    • 8M GT tooth profile – backward compatible with Moto X9 8M sprockets

    By reducing friction and ensuring smooth power transmission, it delivers better mileage too. And the long-term benefits of investing in Moto X5 belts pay off through reduced maintenance, fewer replacements, and enhanced performance.

    MOTO X5 APPLICATIONS 

    MID-DRIVE COMMUTERS 

    We designed Moto X5 for the mid-motor sit-down electric scooters and motorcycles typically used by commuters. Compared to chain, the noise reduction is significant – belts help preserve the quiet operation of electric engines, maximizing the benefits of low-noise transportation. The MotoX5 belt drive is more efficient than chains due to its reduced friction, smoother power transmission, lighter weight, and maintenance-free design, all of which help conserve energy and extend the time between charges.

    MOTORCYCLE COMMUTERS

    For the daily commuter, reliability and minimal maintenance are key. The MotoX5 belt drive is designed to meet those needs with advanced technology that eliminates the hassle of regular chain upkeep. Commuters can forget about lubrication, rust, and messy oil changes, even in all-weather conditions. Whether riding through rain or shine, the MotoX5's durable construction resists water damage, ensuring no swelling or delamination. It’s a clean, quiet, and long-lasting solution that allows riders to focus on the road, not their bike maintenance.
