Enduro 6001 - 61001 12 x 28 x 8mm Bearing

A radial bearing generally used as a hub bearing for some quick-release hub designs and can be used as a pivot bearing, though the MAX-type version of this bearing is better suited for suspension use. This ABEC-3 bearing features deep-groove design races, with Grade 10 balls, LLB seals and 90% fill with high-pressure waterproof grease to withstand daily use and the elements.

The Enduro line of bearings are available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Their bearings are always engineered with the deepest groove races possible to accommodate the largest balls and feature dual-lip seals that ride in a micro-groove, creating a full labyrinth to provide superior protection against the elements.

What's the difference between ABEC 3 and ABEC 5?

ABEC is an acronym for a committee that sets standards for bearings. Higher numbers mean higher tolerances (and price). For example, ABEC 3 balls are in tolerance to 10/1,000,000" vs. 5/1,000,000" in the ABEC 5.

How does this affect me?

Higher tolerance bearings are smoother and faster. With precision, the balls will support the bearing better and increase life expectancy.

Finding the correct bearing

To find the correct bearing, please check your owner's manual. These are premium bearings that are among the longest lasting available, however bearing life is dependent on factors such as weather, maintenance and installation. Please use correct installation methods and follow your component's torque specifications. Failure to do so will result in premature bearing wear.
