Featuring the MAX-Design with an extra-wide profile, this radial suspension bearing measures 12mm x 21mm x 7mm, optimized for durability and load capacity. Engineered with ABEC-3 precision, it balances smooth rotation with resilience, making it an ideal choice for demanding cycling conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnduro's pioneering MAX-type technology increases load capacity by 35-40% compared to standard radial bearings. This is achieved by incorporating the maximum number of balls through a custom-ground slot in the races, coupled with deep race grooves that provide superior lateral support. The result is enhanced durability and resistance to the twisting and multi-directional forces encountered in mountain bike pivots. The bearing features Grade 10 balls, a black-oxide\/magnetite coating for corrosion resistance, and full-contact double-lip LLU seals to keep contaminants out and retain the high-pressure Almagard grease inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrusted by leading bicycle brands such as Orbea, the 3801 LLU MAX-7 excels in suspension pivot applications. Available in multiple material options including high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 variants, Enduro Bearings ensures top-tier quality and longevity. This bearing’s deep groove races and dual-lip seals create a full labyrinth protection system, making it a reliable component for maintaining smooth, worry-free performance in harsh outdoor environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandling high static loads up to 409lbf \/ 1.82kN with superior durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding excellent lateral support against twisting and multi-directional forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining smooth rotation with ABEC-3 precision bearings for efficient performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResisting corrosion and contamination with black-oxide coating and LLU labyrinth seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for suspension pivots and other mountain bike components requiring enhanced load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring ultra-high-speed bearings beyond ABEC-3 specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in environments where extreme heat or chemical exposure may degrade seals or grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations demanding lighter weight components beyond the 8g bearing weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-bicycle applications without consideration of load and environmental factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes MAX-Design bearings different from standard bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MAX-Design bearings have a special slot in the races allowing the insertion of the maximum number of balls, increasing load capacity by 35-40% compared to standard radial bearings.
