The Enduro Bearings 688 LLU MAX EE is a precision-engineered radial suspension bearing designed specifically for mountain bike pivots. Featuring an 8mm x 16mm x 5/7mm dimension, this ABEC-3 bearing delivers superior performance through its innovative MAX-type design. By incorporating a custom ground slot to hold the maximum number of balls, it offers 35-40% greater load capacity compared to standard radial bearings. This makes it an excellent choice for riders seeking durable and reliable components that can withstand demanding off-road conditions.
Built with Grade 10 balls and deep-groove raceways, the 688 LLU MAX EE ensures enhanced lateral support to handle twisting and multi-directional forces encountered during suspension movement. Its dual-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals provide exceptional protection against dirt, water, and debris, while the Almagard extra high pressure grease maintains smooth operation and longevity. Additionally, the Black-Oxide/Magnetite coating adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance, ensuring worry-free performance season after season.
Used by Knolly bikes as a suspension pivot bearing, this model features an extended race that simplifies linkage installation by eliminating the need for extra spacers. Whether you're upgrading your hubs, spares, or wheels and tyres, the Enduro 688 LLU MAX EE is engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality performance under intense riding conditions.
