Ceramic-Hybrid Radial Bottom Bracket Bearing featuring 52100 high-Carbon Chromium alloy races paired with Grade 5 Silicon-Nitride Ceramic balls with 90% fill, high-pressure, water-proof grease. Si3N4 Ceramic balls reduce bearing wear and increase bearing life by eliminating steel on steel contact within the bearing.
This bearing is generally used as a hub bearing for some quick-release hub designs and can be used as a pivot bearing though the MAX-type version of this bearing is better suited for suspension use. This ABEC-5 bearing features deep-groove design races, with grade 10 balls, LLB seals and 90% fill with high pressure water proof grease to withstand daily abuse of use and the elements.
The Enduro line of bearings are available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Our bearings are always engineered with deep groove races to accommodate the largest balls possible. All of our standard bearings feature dual-lip seals that ride in a micro-groove creating full labyrinth to provide superior protection against the elements.
