6904 LLU MAX - MAX-Design, ABEC-3, Radial Suspension Bearing - 20 x 37 x 9mm
Over two decades ago, Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings tailored specifically for bicycles, addressing the unique challenges encountered in mountain bike pivot systems. These MAX-type bearings offer an impressive 35-40% increase in load capacity compared to standard radial bearings. This enhancement is achieved through a specialized design that maximizes the ball count inserted into the bearing via custom ground slots in the races. The augmented ball configuration, combined with deep race grooves, provides exceptional lateral support, effectively managing the twisting and multi-directional forces characteristic of mountain bike pivots.
This ABEC-3 bearing is engineered with deep-groove designed races, grade 10 balls, and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals, ensuring optimum shielding against environmental elements. It retains a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease, safeguarding internal components.
Frequently utilized as a suspension pivot bearing by Forbidden Bicycles, this bearing offers reliable performance in demanding cycling applications.
Enduro's range of bearings encompasses high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 variants with ceramic or stainless balls. Engineered with deep groove races to accommodate larger balls, our standard bearings feature dual-lip seals operating within micro-grooves, forming a complete labyrinth for unparalleled protection against environmental factors.
