I regularly use Gates belts like these on 3 hp motors (single belt drive) for my job. They are amazingly tough.
That was the impression I had when I got this bike. I just thought it odd to find it advertised as lasting twice as long as a chain. I replace my chain once or twice a year. The Gates Drive bike gets ridden far, far less, but three years in and there are no signs of wear.
