Gates do 2 levels. CDX and CDN.
CDX is the carbon belt, ~20000km belt.
CDN is the cheap shit version.
They look very similar.
CDN uses a plastic cog where CDX uses a metal cog, that’s an easy way to spot it.

gotcha, good to know. Thanks
The upgrade is expensive but we recently successfully warrantied a CDN (Destroyed in a few months by a big guy) and they sent a CDX with metal cog to replace (nice surprise)
