Enduro bearings 688 LLU MAX BO - ABEC 3 MAX - Black Oxide (radial) - 8x16x5

BLACK OXIDE: Enduro bearings use races made from a 52100 chromium alloy and high-quality carbon, which has undergone both thermal and cryogenic treatment. This means everything is brought to a temperature of –190°, which provides a certain hardness and thus reduces ball wear. We then give the bearing a magnetic treatment (black or Black Oxide color) which provides protection against corrosion and also easy installation. The races are further polished after treatment to ensure the smoothest possible surface. These are the best bearings for the full suspension. LLU: Similar to our LLB seals, the LLU is a contact seal where the double "lips" sit in a recess of the inner ring. Guaranteeing better sealing, these seals are ideal for suspension pivots or headsets that are constantly in contact with salt, sweat, and dust. This better sealing and the 2 "lips" help retain 90% of the grease we use on the bearings, protecting it from moisture and continuously lubricating the balls and raceway.

This high-quality, black-oxide, ABEC-3 radial bearing features deep grooves with Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals for optimal protection against dirt, water, and debris. Thanks to a full set of balls and deeper grooves, it offers 35-40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings, and provides excellent lateral support against the torsional and multi-directional forces encountered in mountain biking. The corrosion-resistant coating and high-pressure lubricant ensure durability and long-lasting performance. Suitable for various bicycle brands, available in high-carbon chrome steel, stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 variants with ceramic or stainless steel balls. All bearings have double-lip seals in micro-grooves, creating a full labyrinth for maximum protection against the elements. Static load 210 lbf (0.93 kN). Weight: 3.9 g.
