Enduro Sealed Radial Suspension Bearing 608 LLU MAX Abec 3 - 8 x 22 x 7mm

608 LLU MAX - Max-Design, ABEC-3, Radial Suspension Bearing - 8 x 22 x 7mm

Almost two decades ago, Enduro Bearings emerged as the trailblazers in MAX-type bearings, specifically tailored for bicycles to tackle the challenges linked with mountain bike pivots. The ingenious MAX bearings elevate load capacity by an impressive 35-40% compared to standard radial bearings. This feat is achieved through a distinctive design inserting the maximum number of balls into the bearing, and employing a custom ground slot in the races. These additional balls, complemented by deep race grooves, bolster lateral support, effectively countering the twisting and multi-directional forces inherent in mountain bike pivots. The ABEC-3 bearing, part of this innovation, integrates deep-groove design races featuring Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals, ensuring optimal protection against environmental elements, all while retaining a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease.

Widely embraced by various bicycle brands, this bearing serves as a crucial component in suspension pivot systems.

The Enduro series offers bearings in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Our commitment lies in engineering bearings with the deepest groove races achievable to accommodate larger balls. These bearings include dual-lip seals adeptly navigating micro-grooves, fashioning a comprehensive labyrinth, thereby guaranteeing extended longevity and exceptional protection against environmental elements.
