Gates Launches 3 Bicycle Sprocket Lines, Expanding Belt Drives to 75 Nm eBikes

Summary
Gates rolled out three new bicycle sprocket families—CRUISE, CRUISE PLUS and COMMUTE—to widen its Belt Drive lineup across more OEM applications and price points.
COMMUTE targets urban eBikes with mid-motor systems up to 75 Nm, while CRUISE is positioned as a lower-cost entry option and CRUISE PLUS adds durability and broader compatibility for mid-range use.
The overmolded thermoplastic sprockets are meant to help bike makers replace chain-based drivetrains with cleaner, quieter and lower-maintenance belt systems across broader model ranges.
Gates said the expanded portfolio is now available globally, backed by engineering and production support intended to help OEMs specify and scale belt-drive bikes from concept to market.
