6903 LLU MAX-E - MAX-Design, Extended Inner Race, ABEC-3, Radial Suspension Bearing - 17 x 30 x 7mm
Enduro Bearings was a pioneer in developing MAX-type bearings for bicycles more than 20 years ago, specifically targeting the challenges linked with mountain bike pivots. MAX-type bearings excel by offering 35-40% more load capacity compared to standard radial bearings through a distinctive design, maximizing the insertion of balls into the bearing. This additional ball quantity, coupled with deep race grooves, substantially enhances lateral support, effectively countering the twisting and multi-directional forces typically encountered in mountain bike pivots.
The ABEC-3 bearing in this category highlights deep-groove design races, Grade 10 balls, and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals, ensuring optimal protection against environmental elements while retaining a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease inside. Additionally, this bearing showcases an extended inner race, eliminating the necessity for additional spacers when connecting suspension linkages.
Esteemed bicycle brands, including Trek, have utilized this bearing as a pivotal component in their suspension pivot systems.
Enduro's comprehensive line of bearings offers variants in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Our bearings consistently prioritize the deepest possible groove races to accommodate larger balls, incorporating dual-lip seals that move within micro-grooves, establishing a comprehensive labyrinth for superior protection against environmental elements.
