6901 LLU MAX BO - MAX-Design, Black-Oxide, ABEC-3, Radial Suspension Bearing - 12 x 24 x 6mm
Over two decades ago, Enduro Bearings revolutionized the biking industry with the introduction of MAX-type bearings, specifically tailored for bicycles to overcome the challenges linked with mountain bike pivots. These MAX-type bearings stand out by offering a remarkable 35-40% increase in load capacity compared to standard radial bearings. They achieve this through a distinctive design that maximizes the insertion of balls into the bearing via a custom ground slot in the races. The added balls, in combination with deep race grooves, deliver enhanced lateral support, adeptly managing the twisting and multi-directional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.
The MAX-type ABEC-3 bearing, in Black-Oxide finish, embodies deep-groove design races paired with Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals. This configuration ensures maximum safeguarding against external elements while retaining a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease inside. Additionally, the Black-Oxide/Magnetite coating further bolsters corrosion resistance, extending worry-free performance.
Esteemed bicycle brands such as Intense and Guerrilla Gravity have utilized this bearing as a pivotal component in their suspension systems.
The Enduro range of bearings encompasses high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 variations with options for ceramic or stainless balls. Engineered with the deepest groove races to accommodate larger balls, our bearings feature dual-lip seals gliding within micro-grooves, establishing a comprehensive labyrinth for superior protection against environmental elements.
