Belt Drive Option

Seven now offers a greaseless belt drive system as an alternative option for Singlespeed bikes.

 

What is the Carbon Drive™ System

The Carbon Drive™ System uses a carbon reinforced polyurethane belt in place of a metal chain. The single piece belt has the necessary tensile strength and high modulus to provide a smooth, clean, and long lasting ride experience. This type of system can be used on either road or mountain bikes.
