Carbon Drive

Gates Carbon Drive - Unlock the full potential of your bike with a genuine belt drive system.

Gates Carbon Drive offers a high-tech belt drive solution for bicycles, motorcycles, and scooters. This application measures belt tension acoustically. Simply pluck your belt as you would a guitar string and use your phone’s microphone to capture the vibration frequency. Compare your bicycle belt’s frequency with the included reference chart to determine if tension adjustments are needed. For scooter or motorcycle tension guidelines, please refer to your vehicle's owner manual.
