GATES
Global leader in belt drives, Gates guarantees quality and safety on our bikes with belt drive transmission.
In 1911, Charles C. Gates bought a tyre and leather business. In 1917, Gates gradually moved away from leather in favour of rubber. The same year his brother John Gates invented the first belt made from rubber and woven threads that is known today as the V-belt.
This innovation would revolutionise the industrial world and propel the Gates company to the global leader position that it still holds today.
More than a century later, the small business from Colorado has become the global giant that we all know.
It is present in various industries such as:
- Transport
- Automobile
- Agriculture
- Energy
