"Being part of bringing belt drives into professional downhill racing has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Working with Gates has been fantastic...it's exciting to see how belt drive system technology and downhill racing continue to grow." said Dominic Tinner, co-founder of Gamux.
"In 2024, Gates announced a massive €100,000 belted purse for the first elite racer to win a UCI Mountain Bike Downhill race on a Gates belt-driven bike...with only one team riding a belt-driven bike in the 2024 season, the competition was slow to heat up."
"In 2025, the race for the €100,000 is back on with some serious competition as four more teams have officially partnered with Gates and adopted belt-driven drivetrains."
"These new partnerships mark a shift to embrace the gearbox and belt-drive downhill bike, showcasing the unique characteristics of the systems in elite-level gravity racing."
