Gates CDX Front Sprocket Pinion SL
Clean
No grease. No rust. No problems. Just ride and enjoy!
Smooth
Feel the efficiency and performance at each pedal stroke. Belt driven riding is a unique experience.
Durable
Advanced no-stretch carbon cord technology means your belt will last longer than a chain.
Tuned to high performace
Rooted in technology originally designed for dragsters, the Gates CDX line brings similar power, reliability, and durability to bicycles. Less weight. Instant engagement. More fun.
The CDX belt structure
The CDX belt can easily be recognised by its ribbed outer surface. Composed of a weather-resistant polyurethane exterior, the advanced high-performance belt features strong, stretch-free carbon fiber tensile cords. It features a nylon surface and a bike-optimised curved tooth profile.
The CDX drivertrain
The combination of top quality components guarantee the expected performance: Gates cranksets feature forged alloy cranks mounted to lightweight CDX aluminum sprockets. The high-performance rear sprockets are made of sturdy stainless steel. Assembly is simple and fast.
Our recommendation
For riders who are serious about their performance and wish to spend as little time on drivetrain maintenance as possible. The CDX system offers just that, and a much smoother riding experience.
Which is better: chain or belt?
The most frequently asked question we get is whether the chain or the belt is better. Chains when completely clean and properly lubricated are more efficient, that is the preferred choice for competition oriented riders. For the everyday riders where messy drivetrain maintenance is low on the list of priorities when it comes to their bike, the belt is the better choice. The lifetime of a belt can be four times as much as a chain's. Just hop on the bike and go!
Low maintenance
Before and during assembly, caution must be used to avoid damaging the carbon tensile cords.
Proper belt tension is essential for optimum operation of the Gates Carbon Drive System. Lack of belt tension can lead to tooth jump or “skipping,” when the teeth of the belt slide over the teeth of the rear sprocket. Too much tension can damage the bearings within the rear hub, can cause the system to drag, and can increase the wear of your drive system.
CDX Belt expected lifetime:
cca. 50.000 km
Belts must be replaced after about 50 000 km. This is dependent on its use. This estimate is only valid for the belt, other component are not necessarily ready to be replaced.
For Urban riding
Designed for casual urban cyclists and city cyclists, Gates Carbon Drive™ CDN™ line is for people who like to ride to work in jeans or a skirt. Sporting the same carbon fiber tensile cord technology and CenterTrack sprocket design as Gates premium CDX system, our CDN line offers an entry-level option for more recreational riding.
A CDN belt structure
The CDN belt can easily be recognised by its smooth outer surface. Composed of a weather-resistant polyurethane exterior, the advanced belt features strong, stretch-free carbon fiber tensile cords. It features a nylon surface and a bike-optimised curved tooth profile. Wears slightly faster than the high-performance CDX belt.
The CDN drivertrain
The combination of top quality components guarantee the expected performance: Gates cranksets feature forged alloy cranks mounted to lightweight CDN reinforced composite sprockets. The system is compatible with the high-performance CDX rear sprockets which are made of sturdy stainless steel. Assembly is simple and fast.
Our recommendation
For the occasional urban rider who prefer to pedal comfortably and wish to keep their bike low-maintenance. The CDN system offers just that, and a much smoother riding experience.
