Featuring a black oxide finish, this bearing kit replaces the traditional external headset bearing cup with a sleek, low-profile solution that presses directly into the head tube, simplifying installation and enhancing durability. Included in the kit are the fork crown race, upper split-ring, and cap, providing a complete and reliable assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from 52100 high-carbon chromium alloy, these bearings boast anti-corrosion Black Oxide\/Magnetite coated races combined with grade 10 balls for superior strength and longevity. The dual-lip labyrinth (LLB) seals protect against contaminants and moisture, while the 90% fill Mobil XHP 222 synthetic grease ensures smooth, waterproof performance under all conditions. The black oxide coating adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance, making these bearings ideal for demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnduro’s angular contact design evenly distributes load across all balls, reducing pressure and wear for a longer service life. The micro-groove sealing system further enhances durability by keeping sweat and elements out, while the high-pressure grease fill guarantees consistent lubrication.
