Upgrade your AC1 to the clean, low-maintenance ride of a Gates Carbon Drive belt.
This kit includes everything you need to switch from a chain to a belt drive — no guesswork, no extra parts to hunt down.
What’s Included:
1× Gates Belt
1× Rear Cog
1× Idler Pulley
1× Tensioner Pulley
1× Helper Spring
1× Complete Hardware Kit
Why Go Belt?
Belt drives mean no grease, no chain lube, and almost no maintenance — just rinse and ride. The Gates Carbon Drive lasts 3–5 times longer than a traditional chain and stays whisper-quiet, mile after mile.
Combined with the AC1’s perfectly straight chainline and gearbox, a belt drive makes your ride even smoother and more hassle-free.
Install It Anytime
All AC1 frames are built to accept both chain and belt drives — so you can swap anytime you like. This kit bolts right on using basic tools and comes with clear instructions.
A Note on Spares
Gates belts are incredibly durable but can be tricky to find in remote areas. We recommend adding a spare belt to your gear bag for peace of mind on big trips.
