MAX-type bearings provide 35-40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings by utilizing a special design where the maximum number of balls are inserted into the bearing, via a custom ground slot in the races. The additional balls, combined with deep race grooves in these bearings providing greater lateral support for the twisting and multi-directional forces associated with mountain bike pivots. This ABEC-3 bearing features deep-groove design races, with Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth (LLU) seals for maximum protection against the elements, while keeping the 90% fill of Almagard extra high pressure grease inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bearing has been used as a suspension pivot bearing by a number of bicycle brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Enduro line of bearings are available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Our bearings are always engineered with 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnduro Item Code: BB 688 LLU MAX-bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enduro Bearings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42158815313965,"sku":"10032602","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7052\/5229\/files\/enduro_688_8_x_16_x_5mm_bearing_8mm_16mm_5mm_max_full_complement_bearing_black_oxide_1.jpg?v=1709182831","url":"https:\/\/www.mtbdirect.com.au\/products\/enduro-688-8-x-16-x-5mm-bearing-8mm-16mm-5mm-max-full-complement-bearing-black-oxide","provider":"MTB Direct Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
