White Industries Gates Belt Drive Freewheel

Gates and White Industries have partnered up to produce the CDX freewheel. The CDX is built using the industry leading ENO platform. It features a center track system, 22 tooth profile, and a 36 pawl engagement system. The body is 8620 ally steel that is case hardened and nickel plated, and the sealed bearings are serviceable. MSRP is set at $275.

Past the jump you get XX1 and fat bike hubs.

If there is one thing I want in a single speed, its more expensive parts

I’m digging that matte gray. Hopefully it’ll sell well enough to offer it on all their hubs.

I’ll step on all the dwarves to get to those hubs

Does the front hub match the rear hub standard (to fit Surly and Salsa forks) or the front standard (like a Paul hub) to fit some of the other aftermarket forks?

Just eyeballing it, it looks like the former.

@robert – thanks for question. I have updated the post.

Bwahaha! $275 freewheel?!?

I’ll 2nd that, Walt. And, why would they wait for XX1 to release a spider. I would have bought their cranks a long time ago if I had the option of a standard 104 bcd spider.

I was pretty stoked on the freewheel until I saw the $275 price tag.

White Industries stuff is way nice. Too bad belt drive sucks and blows, and so does SRAM.
