Bearing Enduro Bearings 698 LLU MAX

698 LLU MAX – a MAX design radial suspension bearing, measuring 8mm x 19mm x 6mm.

Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings for bicycles over 20 years ago to address the challenges associated with mountain bike pivots. MAX-type bearings provide 35-40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings. This is achieved through a special design that inserts the maximum number of balls into the bearing using a custom-ground slot in the races. The additional balls, combined with the deep race grooves, provide greater lateral support for the twisting and multi-directional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.

This bearing features deep-groove design races, grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals that protect against the elements while keeping the 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease inside.

This bearing has been used as a suspension pivot bearing by a number of bicycle brands, including Rocky Mountain.

The Enduro line of bearings is 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 deep-groove races to accommodate the largest balls possible. All standard bearings feature dual-lip seals that ride in a micro-groove, creating a full labyrinth to provide protection against the elements.
