Enduro Sealed Radial Suspension Bearing 3800 LLU MAX Abec 3 - 10 x 19 x 18mm

3800 LLU MAX - MAX-Design, Double Row, ABEC-3, Radial Suspension Bearing - 10 x 19 x 18mm

Over two decades ago, Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings specifically designed for bicycles, addressing the challenges linked to mountain bike pivots. These bearings offer a remarkable 35-40% increase in load capacity compared to standard radial bearings. The innovative design maximizes ball quantity by using custom ground slots in the races, resulting in deeper race grooves that lend greater lateral support for the twisting and multi-directional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.

This ABEC-3 bearing boasts deep-groove design races, Grade 10 balls, and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals, ensuring maximum protection against environmental elements. It maintains a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease for sustained performance. Additionally, its extra-wide double-row design significantly diminishes suspension linkage flex while doubling the bearing contact area.

Notably, Trek bicycles have utilized this bearing as a suspension pivot bearing.

Within the Enduro bearing line, options include high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 variations with ceramic or stainless balls. These bearings are consistently engineered with the deepest groove races to accommodate larger balls and feature dual-lip seals navigating a micro-groove, creating a comprehensive labyrinth for extended lifespan and superior protection against external elements.
