Crafted with a MAX-design, this bearing features a solid-lubricant-infused polymer that replaces traditional grease, effectively preventing water and dirt infiltration. The innovative design, pioneered by Enduro over two decades ago, incorporates a full complement of balls without a retainer, boosting load capacity by 35-40% compared to standard radial bearings. With deep race grooves and Black-Oxide treated 52100 high-carbon chromium alloy races, this bearing provides superior lateral support and corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in the harshest riding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 15mm x 24mm x 5mm dimensions and rated at ABEC-3 precision, the 6802 LLU MAX BO SL is engineered to withstand the twisting and multi-directional forces typical in mountain bike pivots and other bicycle transmissions. The dual-lip labyrinth seals offer maximum protection from external contaminants, while the solid lubricant polymer continuously lubricates the bearing surface, minimizing friction and wear. This maintenance-free bearing comes with a two-year warranty, reflecting Enduro's confidence in its durability and performance under all conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are upgrading your bike’s bottom bracket, suspension pivots, or other transmission components, Enduro Bearings 6802 LLU MAX BO SL delivers unmatched reliability and smooth operation.
