Bearing Enduro Bearings 6801 LLU MAX

6801 LLU MAX is a MAX-design radial suspension bearing measuring 12 × 21 × 5 mm.

Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings for bicycles almost 20 years ago to address the loads associated with mountain bike suspension pivots. Their special design allows the maximum number of balls to be inserted through a custom-ground slot in the races, providing 35–40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings. The additional balls and deep race grooves provide greater lateral support against the twisting and multidirectional forces acting on mountain bike suspension pivots.

The bearing has deep race grooves, Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals. These protect against the elements while keeping the bearing filled to 90% with Almagard extra-high-pressure grease. This bearing has been used as a suspension pivot bearing in models from several bicycle brands, including Orbea.

The Enduro bearing line is available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid and XD-15 versions with ceramic or stainless steel balls. The bearing races are engineered as deep as possible to accommodate the largest possible balls. Double-lip seals ride in a micro-groove to create a full labyrinth that protects against the elements.
