Gates Carbon DriveUpdated an hour ago

Why does the ALSO TM-B use belt drive?

The DreamRide system features a Gates Carbon Drive designed for minimal maintenance performance. 

Unlike traditional metal chains, this belt drive requires no lubrication, is completely rust-proof, and is engineered to last over 10,000 miles before requiring service. 


Key Benefits

  • No Lubrication Required: Because the belt is made of carbon fiber rather than metal, it never needs to be greased or oiled, keeping your ride clean.
  • Rust-Proof Durability: The non-metallic construction makes the belt impervious to rust and corrosion, even in wet or salty conditions.
  • Extended Lifespan: Gates belts are rated for high-mileage use, capable of running for more than 10,000 miles (approx. 16,000 km) between service intervals.
