Bearing Enduro Bearings DR 17289 LLU MAX Black Oxide

Enduro Bearings DR 17289 LLU MAX BO is a double-row, black-oxide, angular-contact suspension bearing. Dimensions: 17mm x 28mm x 9mm.

Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings for bicycles over 20 years ago to address the challenges associated with mountain bike pivots. MAX bearings provide 35-40% more load capacity than standard angular-contact bearings. Their special design allows the maximum number of balls (full-complement) to be inserted into the bearing. The race grooves are also deeper to provide increased lateral support against the twisting and multidirectional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.

This MAX-type, double-row, black-oxide, ABEC-3 bearing features deep-groove races, Grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals for protection against the elements. It contains 90% fill of Almagard extra-high-pressure grease. The double-row design greatly reduces flex in the suspension linkage while doubling the bearing contact area. The black-oxide treatment provides an extra level of corrosion resistance.

This bearing has been used as a suspension pivot bearing by Evil bikes.

The Enduro line of bearings is available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid and XD15 with ceramic or stainless balls. The bearings are engineered with the deepest possible groove races to accommodate the largest balls. Their dual-lip seals ride in a micro-groove, creating a full labyrinth to provide protection against the elements.
