Featuring the innovative MAX design, this ABEC-3 rated bearing offers exceptional load capacity by incorporating the maximum number of balls in the raceways, providing 35-40% more load capacity compared to standard bearings. Its deep-groove design and full-contact, double-lip labyrinth seals ensure superior protection against dirt and moisture, while retaining high-pressure Almagard grease for long-lasting smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from premium 440C stainless steel, these bearings deliver outstanding corrosion resistance and durability, ideal for wet or harsh environments where regular cleaning or exposure to sweat is common. The 440C alloy is known for its superior strength, hardness, and wear resistance, achieved through advanced heat and cryogenic treatments. This makes the Enduro 6803 LLU MAX a reliable choice for cyclists who demand longevity and consistent performance from their components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrusted by leading bike brands like Orbea and Niner, this bearing excels in mountain bike pivots, handling multi-directional forces with ease thanks to its deep race grooves and additional balls that provide enhanced lateral support. With a static load rating of 556lbf \/ 2.47kN and weighing only 17 grams, it balances strength and lightness perfectly to meet the rigorous demands of your ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding increased load capacity for mountain bike suspension pivots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResisting corrosion in wet or sweat-exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring smooth, reliable rotation with high-quality seals and grease retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing durability and wear resistance in demanding riding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing maintenance frequency thanks to superior sealing and grease technology\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 extremely high-speed bearings beyond ABEC-3 rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnvironments with abrasive contaminants exceeding the protection of LLU seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations where a non-stainless steel bearing is preferred for maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in components that demand unusually large or custom-sized bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy industrial applications outside of bicycle or similar component use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose 440C stainless steel for this bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e440C stainless steel offers the highest strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance among 440-series alloys, making it ideal for wet or corrosive environments where durability and longevity are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the MAX design mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAX design refers to the bearing’s ability to hold the maximum number of balls possible, increasing load capacity by 35-40% compared to standard radial bearings, which is essential for handling the complex forces in mountain bike suspension pivots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enduro Bearings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45499394588847,"sku":"EB9877","price":12.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1718268191-06810800.jpg?v=1768525765","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/enduro-bearings-6803-llu-max-stainless-steel-17x26x5mm-abec-3-bike-bearing","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
