350 miles. Endless mud. One belted drivetrain that never backed down.
When Unbound Gravel XL turned into a 350-mile battle against relentless mud, every component was put to the test.

While riders worried about drivetrain failures, ultra-endurance racer Chase McElroy trusted the Gates Belt Drive belt paired with a Pinion gearbox to keep rolling through some of the toughest conditions imaginable.

No chain. Less maintenance. More confidence when every mile counts.

When the trail gets tougher, your drivetrain shouldn't be another obstacle.
