Gates Industrial Corporation<\/a> has expanded its Belt Drive product portfolio with three new products, catering to the needs of entry-level bikes and eBikes.<\/p>\nCRUISE provides a cost-efficient entry point into belt drive systems, enabling OEMs to offer clean, quiet and low-maintenance drivetrains for entry-level and value-oriented bicycles.<\/p>\n
CRUISE PLUS builds on the CRUISE platform with enhanced durability, a longer service life and broader compatibility. Positioned between entry-level models and higher-performance applications, it is designed to meet the demands of everyday riding, including mid-range eBikes.<\/p>\n
COMMUTE is engineered specifically for urban eBike applications, supporting mid-motor systems with up to 75 Nm of torque. Designed for daily mobility, it prioritises durability, weather resistance and low maintenance to deliver reliable performance in all riding conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new sprocket families enhance our tiered performance belt portfolio, providing our OEM partners with more options to bring additional belt-driven bicycles to their line-ups,\u201d said Tom Pitstick, President, Americas and Global Mobility.<\/p>\n
The company also stated that these new products can tap into opportunities in the broader market and bring belt drive technology to segments still served by chain-based drivetrains.<\/p>\n
The expanded portfolio is now available globally.<\/p>\n
\u201cPaired with an industry-leading portfolio of belt drive system components, the expanded sprocket offering gives original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners a scalable path to specify belt drive systems across a wider range of applications, rider expectations and price points,\u201d the company added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
