These MAX-type bearings offer a significant load capacity boost—35-40% more than standard radial bearings—by employing a distinct design. This design maximizes the number of balls inserted into the bearing through a custom ground slot in the races. Additionally, the deeper race grooves in these bearings provide enhanced lateral support, effectively countering the twisting and multi-directional forces typical in mountain bike pivots. This ABEC-3 bearing comprises deep-groove design races with Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals, ensuring maximum protection against environmental elements while retaining a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral bicycle brands have employed this bearing as a suspension pivot bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Enduro line offers bearings in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Our bearings are consistently engineered with the deepest possible groove races to accommodate the largest balls and are equipped with dual-lip seals that navigate micro-grooves, creating a comprehensive labyrinth. This design ensures superior protection against environmental factors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enduro Bearings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40884064452678,"sku":"EBSBBB688MAX","price":11.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3081\/4790\/files\/EBSBBB688MAX.jpg?v=1702598616","url":"https:\/\/crooze.com.au\/products\/enduro-688-llu-max-max-abec-3-radial-susp-brng-8-x-16-x-5mm","provider":"Crooze","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
