Steed Cycles' Ashva Belt Drive range combines modern engineering with a range of options for either daily commuters or for recreational cyclists and make commuting chainless as straightforward choice for comfortable riding

What Is a Belt Drive Mechanism?

A belt drive bicycle replaces the traditional chain with a high-strength, & synthetic belt. This belt is placed between the front and rear sprockets, shifting pedaling power to the rear wheel with remarkable efficiency and will result in less maintenance required, safer riding. Also you'll need very less grease, & the belt requires no lubrication and is highly resistant to stretching, rust, & so.

Primary Benefits

  • Little Maintenance: Belt drives require no oiling and are completely impervious to mud, dust, and rain.

  • Longevity: With carbon fiber, belts display exceptional durability—belts can last on average twice as long as chains, given normal use. 

  • Smooth & Quiet: Belt drive technology is almost silent and enables a smoother experience with less vibration.

  • Clean & Safe: No grease, and no risk of clothing getting caught or dirtied.

#Frequently asked questions

Which cycle is best for daily use and low maintenance?

All Steed cycles are chainless, so there is no chain cleaning, oiling or greasy clothes. For heavy daily commuting, choose a shaft drive model, which is designed to last 15,000 km or more and carries a 5-year warranty. For lighter daily use, fitness or leisure, belt drive models are quiet and cost less.

What is the difference between single speed and three speed?

Single-speed cycles are simple and suit flat city roads. Three-speed models use a Sturmey-Archer internal gear hub with a twist shifter on the handlebar. The gears sit inside the hub, so there is no derailleur or exposed gear parts to adjust or clean, which makes slopes and longer rides easier.

Which model and size is right for me or my child?

 Choose by rider height:

  • Kids, 4 to 5 feet: ABR 20 and ABR 24
  • Ladies' models: size 42 (ABS 42, AS 42, SSU 42, TSW 42)
  • Riders within 5 feet (young adults and adults): size 48 models
  • Riders 5 feet and above: size 52 models
  • Riders 6 feet and above: size 54 and 56 (three-speed models TR, TS and TCS)

Not sure? Share the rider's height with us on our Contact Us page (https://steedcycles.in/pages/contact) and we will recommend a model.

Which models have disc brakes?

All AS models, the 52 sizes of SR and SS, all Ashva ABS models, and the TS, TSW and TCS three speed models have disc brakes. TCS has hydraulic disc brakes. SR 48, SS 48, SSU 42 and TR use V-brakes, and the kids' ABR 20 and 24 use power brakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A single speed belt drive bicycle replaces the traditional metal chain with a durable, high-strength synthetic belt. It transfers power from the pedals to the rear wheel smoothly, offering a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient ride compared to conventional chain systems.
