What are the benefits to Gates belt drive system on the Commuter?

Clean : No Lubrication means no greasy buildup of dirt, keeping your hands, clothes, and children clean. Smooth : The Carbon Drive system eliminates the metal-to-metal contact of chains, delivering an unparalleled smoothness that you need to feel to believe. No Noise : The Carbon Drive belt is virtually silent in most riding conditions. Light Weight : The entire system, 2 sprockets and a belt, weighs less than just a typical chain. No Stretch : The Carbon Drive belt does not stretch over time like a chain. This means you don’t have to re-tension the belt or replace the belt due to stretch. Self-Cleaning : The patented CenterTrack and MudPort profiles were designed specifically to shed mud, dirt, snow and other debris to meet the needs and environmental challenges of a bicycle. Life : Testing has shown the Carbon Drive belt to last more than twice the life of chains. Consistent Efficiency : The Carbon Drive belt provides consistent efficiency over the lifetime of the drive. In contrast, chain efficiency decreases with wear and dirt.
