Featuring a 12x21x5mm size, this bearing is crafted with 440C stainless steel, known for its exceptional strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. The MAX design incorporates the maximum number of balls possible, increasing load capacity by 35-40% compared to standard bearings, thanks to custom ground slots in the races that allow for deeper grooves and enhanced lateral support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with ABEC-3 precision rating, Grade 10 balls, and full-contact double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals, the 6801 LLU MAX bearing ensures maximum protection against dirt, water, and other contaminants while retaining 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease. This combination guarantees smooth rotation, durability, and a long service life, even under harsh conditions where exposure to moisture or frequent washing is common. Enduro’s use of 440C stainless steel balls and races means you get a reliable bearing that outperforms typical stainless steel alternatives in toughness and wear resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrusted by top bicycle brands such as Intense and Guerrilla Gravity, this bearing is engineered to provide outstanding performance and longevity in suspension pivots and other critical components. Enduro’s commitment to quality is backed by a full two-year anti-corrosion warranty, ensuring peace of mind and sustained performance. Whether you’re upgrading your bike’s hubs, wheels, or suspension pivots, the 6801 LLU MAX bearing delivers superior load capacity, protection, and reliability for demanding cycling environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandling multi-directional forces in mountain bike suspension pivots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding increased load capacity through MAX-type design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffering corrosion resistance in wet or frequently washed conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining smooth rotation with high-precision ABEC-3 rating and Grade 10 balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtecting against contaminants with double-lip labyrinth seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing durability and wear resistance with 440C stainless steel construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for use in hubs, wheels, and spares requiring reliable, long-lasting bearings\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 the absolute highest precision beyond ABEC-3 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations where maximum load capacity is needed beyond stainless steel limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnvironments with extreme impact shocks unsuitable for standard radial bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in components designed exclusively for ceramic or hybrid bearing technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the MAX design different from standard bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MAX design features a custom ground slot in the races that allows for the maximum number of balls to be inserted, increasing load capacity by 35-40% and providing better lateral support for multi-directional forces typical in mountain bike pivots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose 440C stainless steel over other bearing materials?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e440C stainless steel offers superior strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance compared to other stainless alloys.
