Featuring a black-oxide coated, double-row radial bearing design, this model measures 12x28x12mm and incorporates the innovative MAX design that significantly enhances bearing capacity. Developed over two decades ago, the MAX design increases load capacity by 35-40% compared to standard bearings by fitting a greater number of balls within specially ground race slots. This thoughtful engineering improves lateral support, ideal for mountain bike pivots exposed to twisting and multi-directional forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with deep groove races and Grade 10 balls, the 3001 LLU MAX BO bearing ensures durability and smooth operation. Its full-contact, double-lip labyrinth (LLU) seals provide superior protection against dirt and moisture, while maintaining the high-pressure Almagard grease inside for long-lasting lubrication. The double-row configuration also reduces flex in suspension linkages and doubles the bearing contact area, delivering enhanced stability and reliability under extreme conditions. The black-oxide coating adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance, extending the life of the bearing even in harsh environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnduro Bearings offers a diverse range including high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 options, all crafted with the deepest groove races possible. This ensures maximum ball size accommodation and exceptional protection against contaminants, making the 3001 LLU MAX BO a top choice for serious cyclists seeking high-quality, resilient components for their wheels, hubs, and suspension systems.\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 pivots and suspension parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing flex and improving stability in suspension linkages with double-row design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffering superior protection against dirt, water, and corrosion through labyrinth seals and black-oxide coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring smooth, reliable rotation with Grade 10 balls and high-pressure grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing performance and longevity in demanding cycling applications\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 precision beyond ABEC-3 rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnvironments with corrosive chemicals beyond the protection of black-oxide coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-bicycle uses where bearing dimensions do not match 12x28x12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations demanding single-row bearing configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the MAX design mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MAX design allows more balls inside the bearing by using custom-ground race slots, increasing load capacity by 35-40% and improving lateral support for mountain bike pivots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the black-oxide coating benefit the bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe black-oxide coating provides additional corrosion resistance, helping to extend the bearing's lifespan and maintain reliable performance in harsh conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enduro Bearings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45499395047599,"sku":"EB9866","price":22.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1718268193-47884500.jpg?v=1768525758","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/enduro-bearings-abec-3-3001-llu-max-bo-12x28x12mm-double-row-radial-bearing","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
