ENDURO DR 17289 LLU MAX BO MAX BO ABEC-3 RADIAL SUSP BEARING - 17 X 28 X 9MM

Enduro Bearings' MAX type bearings deliver 35-40% greater load capacity than standard radial bearings through their full-complement ball design, developed specifically for mountain bike pivot challenges. These Double-Row bearings feature deeper race grooves for superior lateral support against multi-directional forces. The Black-Oxide coating enhances corrosion resistance, while the ABEC-3 precision, Grade 10 balls, and double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals protect the Almagard high-pressure grease filling. This specialized configuration significantly reduces suspension linkage flex by doubling the bearing contact area, ensuring exceptional performance under demanding conditions.

Utilized by Evil bikes in their suspension pivots, this Enduro bearing exemplifies precision engineering. Constructed from high-carbon chromium steel, with alternatives available in 440C stainless, ceramic-hybrid, or XD-15 configurations featuring ceramic or stainless balls. Enduro's distinctive design incorporates maximum-depth groove races to accommodate larger balls, enhancing load capacity. The sophisticated dual-lip seals operate within a micro-groove, creating a complete labyrinth barrier that delivers exceptional protection against environmental contaminants, ensuring consistent performance in demanding riding conditions.
