UT Belt Care is the official maintenance product developed by Universal Transmissions for Gates Carbon Drive belt drive systems. This high-performance dry lubricant spray ensures the protection, preservation, and optimal operation of your carbon belt drive system, guaranteeing exceptional silence, smoothness, and longevity in all riding conditions.

Technical Overview

Specifically designed for Gates Carbon Drive transmissions, UT Belt Care offers an exclusive formulation based on high-quality silicone that creates a durable, transparent protective layer on the belt's contact surface. Unlike traditional chain lubricants, this product dries quickly and leaves no marks or greasy residue, thus preserving the cleanliness of your drivetrain and clothing. Its combined sealing, preservation, and water-repellent action effectively protects against moisture, dust, and dirt, while reducing friction and parasitic noise that may appear in certain weather conditions (dry weather, dust, heat).

Technical Highlights

• Dry lubricant formula: non-greasy technology that does not attract dirt and generates no stains on clothing or frame
• Hydrophobic protection: makes water bead instantly, protects the belt from moisture and infiltration
• Sealing and preservation: extends the lifespan of the carbon belt by reducing premature wear
• Simplified application: integrated capillary tube allowing precise and targeted spraying on the contact strip
• Self-drying: formula dries in a few minutes without requiring wiping or polishing
• Silent operation: eliminates occasional squeaks and squeals related to dry or dusty conditions
• Universal Gates: compatible with all Gates Carbon Drive systems (CDC, CDX, CDN), all bike types (urban, MTB, gravel, trekking, e-bikes)

Available Variants

• 150 ml format: EAN 4262428335270 / Ref. 30000066-AM — ideal for personal use and regular maintenance
• 500 ml format: Ref. 30000066-AM — workshop format or intensive use for professionals and high-mileage cyclists

Recommended Instructions for Use

• Prior cleaning: clean the belt with clear water using a soft brush (toothbrush) to remove dust and residue, then allow to dry completely
• Application: spray a thin layer of UT Belt Care on the toothed surface of the belt (contact strip in contact with the pulleys) using the capillary tube for targeted and precise application
• Drying: allow to dry 2 to 5 minutes — the aerosol evaporates quickly, leaving only the transparent and durable protective film
• Frequency: apply as soon as noise appears or approximately every 1 to 2 months depending on usage conditions (more frequently in dry and dusty environments)
• Absolute precaution: never spray on brake discs or pads — risk of loss of braking efficiency

Applications and Areas of Use

UT Belt Care is suitable for all bikes equipped with Gates Carbon Drive transmissions: urban bikes, e-bikes, trekking bikes, gravel bikes, MTBs equipped with internally geared hubs (Rohloff, Enviolo, Shimano Alfine/Nexus). Particularly recommended for long-distance cyclists, daily bike commuters, and bicycle tourists seeking a reliable, silent transmission without heavy maintenance. Essential in sandy, dusty, or coastal environments where conventional drivetrains suffer quickly.

Why Choose UT Belt Care?

Gates Carbon Drive belt transmissions are renowned for their near-zero maintenance compared to conventional chains. However, in certain conditions (prolonged dryness, fine dust, sand), a slight squeak may appear. UT Belt Care solves this problem instantly while optimizing the longevity of your carbon belt (which can reach 20,000 to 50,000 km depending on use). No tedious degreasing, no dirty hands, no oil stains on clothing: maintenance becomes as simple as a light spray every month. An essential product to fully exploit the advantages of a Gates transmission.
