Gates Carbon Drive System
Our new urbanchallenge bikes are sporty, reliable and suitable for everyday use – the perfect tool for commuting, getting about the city or a leisure ride – attractive, fast and light. The Gates Carbon Drive System runs silently, needs no maintenance and is incredibly efficient.
The frame can be divided at the seat stay, for ease of fitting/removing the belt. We have used an eccentric bottom bracket/inner bearing to avoid the need for an external chain take-up; this arrangement allows the Gates Carbon Drive System to be perfectly tensioned.

Tube junctions perfectly tailored to the distribution of forces. Cleverly selected skeletal reinforcement elements at the nodal points and the spread of the top tube distribute the impacting forces perfectly.
Triple-butted tube set made of a 6000 alloy. Triple-butted means that the tube has three different wall thicknesses.
