Enduro Sealed Angular Contact Headset Bearing 6808 CC SXD - 1 1/2" - 40 x 52 x 6.5mm (36 x 45 deg)

ACB 6808 CC SXD - 1 1/2" XD-15 Angular Contact Headset Bearing - 40 x 52 x 6.5mm (36 x 45 deg)

This is the final headset bearing you'll ever need to install on your bike.

A recent advancement by Enduro, these complete XD-15 bearings deliver nearly identical performance and corrosion resistance as our XD-15 Ceramic-hybrid bearings, typically used for hubs and bottom brackets. However, they are better suited for the more demanding headset applications. The mechanical properties of XD-15 stainless steel balls provide a superior level of impact resistance compared to ceramic balls, specifically optimized for headset use. Enduro has extensively tested bearings with XD-15 balls and races in salt water for months, demonstrating unparalleled corrosion resistance unmatched by any other product on the market. Our confidence in this material is such that we guarantee these full XD-15 headset bearings for life, specifically against corrosion.

The Enduro range of angular-contact headset bearings initiates with Black Oxide treated Chromium Steel races, advances to full 440C stainless steel, and culminates in the top-tier XD-15 aerospace-stainless (both races and balls) with a lifetime guarantee. Every bearing is meticulously engineered to incorporate the largest possible balls, featuring dual-lip seals that move within a micro-groove (labyrinth). Additionally, they are filled to 90% capacity with high-pressure waterproof grease, offering unmatched protection against sweat and environmental elements. Enduro Angular Contact (A/C) bearings are strategically designed to ensure all balls engage uniformly, distributing force across a larger surface area, thereby minimizing wear and maximizing the bearing's longevity.
