Newest Insta upload from Reece shows a bike with a belt.....
It’s a good day for rumors. Confirmations, more teasing, more speculation… I love it.

Thats the reel of AON testing in Finale
Reece Wilson must have put together a few bigish names in order to get the points to go racing . Interested to see who else is on that team .
Rumor is Monika Hrastnik and more
Fairly obvious this was going to happen given the video they posted had space to hold a gearbox on one of their frames and the model number ends in the letter ‘G’
Like Pivot Phoenix…same DW design.
What will teams/riders do next season if the bounty is won? Will they continue to use gearboxes or return to traditional gears?
The existence of the award by GATES is so that belts are more widespread in the sport, this happening could have a bigger investments by companies like Pinion and Gates itself. Making brands choose this instead of normal gears brands.
In 2025, The first rider to win a World Cup on a belt drive bike will be in the junior category.
A elite rider on a belt drive bike will not win a World Cup in 2025
Well they are in the game to get paid and win race's.
If they feel it gives an advantage on the track, and the sponsorship is there, then yeah they probably will stick with it.
And unfortunately a junior rider won't get the 100k. It's a prize for Elites.
I really hope this is happening, good to see some different tech on the circuit.
I wonder if the Pivot crew could swap to a belt from the cranks to the upper drive cogs and still qualify?
BK, if you see this and try it, I want a signed photo from Lada.
Dave Weagle offered tye design to a number of brands. Pivot just took it up first.
Listen to Nigel Pages podcast with him
Or maybe the other fast Colombian.
Hahaha thats funny
Rachel Atherton in an Evie Richards IG post from a Red Bull training camp would suggest she might be racing?
