Why choose this rear sprocket?
Stainless steel. Wear-resistant aerospace stainless steel from the strongest Gates line.
Rohloff splined. Made for the splined sprocket interface of the Rohloff Speedhub.
For long-distance riding. Rohloff hubs and the CDX line are the classic pairing for touring and hard use.

Which hub does it fit?
This sprocket is made for the splined sprocket interface of the Rohloff Speedhub. Our Booda Bike Pulse is built with a Rohloff hub and a belt drive – ask us about the matching parts for your frame.
CDX: what that means
This sprocket belongs to the Gates CDX line: the strongest Gates line, rated at up to 4× the life of a chain and for hub motors and mid-drive e-bike motors up to 120 Nm. You can combine it with a CDX belt for the complete CDX setup; CDX, CDC and CDN are all CenterTrack parts with an 11 mm pitch, so the lines fit together and each part keeps its own rating.

Frequently asked questions
Which tooth count should I choose?
It depends on your gearing and the front sprocket, and the belt length follows from both. Gates offers a free Gearing and Center Distance Calculator in its Gates Sanity Check. Send us your frame, crank and hub and we will help you choose.
Rohloff: which beltline do I need?
The Rohloff has its own beltline, so the front sprocket must match it. We offer direct-mount crank sets and Gates front sprockets for the Rohloff beltline; tell us your frame and crank and we will check the match.
What do CDX, CDC and CDN mean?
They are Gates’ three belt-drive lines for bicycles: CDX (top of the range), CDC (mid-range) and CDN (entry level). Gates rates CDX for hub motors and mid-drive e-bike motors up to 120 Nm, CDC for mid-drive motors up to 75 Nm, and CDN for hub-motor e-bikes and casual riding.
When should I replace a sprocket?
Check your sprockets from time to time. Worn teeth cause noise, tooth jump and faster wear on the belt, so replace the sprocket when the teeth are worn. A sprocket in good condition has even, undamaged teeth.
