CDX CenterTrack Belt

The CDX CenterTrack belt is the core of the Gates Carbon Drive system and impresses with high performance, smooth running and low maintenance. No more bouncing, squeaking or oil-covered chains; and since no lubrication is required, there are no grease spots either.
At that, the modern high-performance belt weighs less than a standard bike chain and features a weather-resistant polyurethane construction with very strong and stretch-free carbon belt fibres. To perfectly suit your style, the belt is available in black, blue and red.

Proper belt tension is absolutely essential for optimal performance of the Gates Carbon Drive system.
To measure belt tension, we recommend you to use the Gates Eco Tension Tester (product code: 2289227).
Alternatively, you can measure the belt’s tension like a guitar hero with the Gates Carbon Drive Smartphone App (iOS / Android). Yet, this version is quite sensitive to the ambient noise level.

Gates tension recommendations (These tension recommendations are a good starting point, which may need to be adjusted higher or lower based on the rider size, gear ratio, and power placed on the pedals):
• Town and country – smooth and steady pedalling style: 40-60 Hz (35-45 lbs)
• Town and country – punchy and rough pedalling style: 60-75 Hz (45-53 lbs)
• Hub gears: 35-50 Hz (28-40 lbs)
• Tandem: 60-65 Hz (45-48 lbs)
