6901 LLU MAX – MAX-design radial suspension bearing, 12mm 24mm x 6mm.
More than 20 years ago, Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings for bicycles to address the load challenges of mountain bike pivots. These bearings have 35-40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings. Their design allows the maximum number of balls to be inserted through a specially ground slot in the races. The additional balls and deep race grooves provide greater lateral support for the twisting and multidirectional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.
This bearing features deep-groove races, Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals for protection against the elements, while keeping the 90% fill of Almagard extra-high-pressure grease inside.
This bearing is used as a suspension pivot bearing by bicycle brands including Intense and Guerrilla Gravity. It is also commonly identified in the bicycle industry by these part numbers:
Enduro bearings are available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless steel balls. The bearings are engineered with the deepest possible race grooves to accommodate the largest possible balls. Their dual-lip seals ride in a micro-groove, creating a full labyrinth for protection against the elements.
