Product Details
Enduro's ABEC 5 is the next performance step up from the popular ABEC 3 range. By using military level, high precision HRC-64 hardened Grade 5 Chromium Steel Balls, and 52100 High-Carbon Chromium-Alloy mirror polished races. This combination allows Enduro's ABEC 5 bearings to use tolerances twice as tight as ABEC 3, and operate without any noise. The Graphite/Nylon ball retainers allow virtually frictionless movement and provide constant lubrication to maximise the life of the bearing.

Unlike others, Enduro bearings are not just ‘off the shelf’ Industrial bearings. They are tailored specifically for the demands of cycling.
Every aspect of an Enduro bearing is considered and spec’d to provide superior performance and value for each application. From the material of the races and the ball bearings, the types of seal and even the grease. Each of these has a profound effect of the performance and longevity of a bearing.
What is ABEC?
The ABEC grade of bearings is a set of standards for the manufacturing tolerances of bearings. There are five classes from largest to smallest tolerances: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The higher ABEC classes provide better precision, efficiency and greater speed capabilities, but do not necessarily make the components spin faster. All quality manufacturers around the world manufacture to at least ABEC 1 standard. Enduro’s Minimum Standard is ABEC 3.
What is the meaning of grade?
Bearing balls are manufactured to a specific grade, which defines its geometric tolerances. Grades range from 2000 to 3, where the smaller the number the higher the precision. A grade 20 ball for instance is 20/1,000,000" out of round. Enduro use Grade 10 for ABEC 3, Grade 5 for ABEC 5, and Grade 3 at Zero and XD-15 levels.
Grease
At Enduro they utilize several types of grease depending on the projected application of the bearing. They also fill both sides of the bearing for maximum lubrication, unlike industrial bearings which are only single filled.
Kyodo Yushi PS-2: This grease has a protective interface between ceramic balls and metal races and for it’s high speed properties and minimum rolling resistance. Speed and Protection for high precision bearing systems.
CRC Sta-Plex Marine: This grease will not wash out or break down under any extreme conditions including power washing, salt water intrusion from the salted roads, or even dirt getting into the rolling areas. The High Pressure properties of this grease provides a cushion for the sharp blows that suspension pivots will endure. Tough and Tenacious for high impact and extreme conditions.
Mobile HP 222: This grease is another high pressure grease for maximum protection and constant lubrication. This synthetic grease holds up under all conditions and will not break down.
Seals
2RS: Literally means the bearing has Two Rubber Seals. There are many types of seals. On most other bearings 2RS means that the seal is made from rubber and has one sealing lip rubbing on any flat part of the inner race. Enduro’s seals are usually either LLU (usually the MAX type bearings) or LLB (better for hubs).
LLU Seals: Two NBR 70 rubber seals with medium/high contact seal, which rides in a matching groove machined into the bearing to make a labyrinth type seal. The outer sealing lip repels dirt and water while the inner sealing lip retains the grease.
LLB Seals: Two NBR 70 rubber seals with low contact seal, which rides in a matching groove machined into the bearing for low drag or friction.
SRS Seals: Two NBR 70 rubber seals with an axial face seal, this seal has a large contact surface area, while running very smoothly and freely. They are easily removable with a snap ring which hold them in place, making them easy to service.
VV Seals: Two NBR 70 rubber seals with non-contact seal, which rides in a matching groove machined into the bearing for no drag or friction.
What Size Bearing?
Bearing sizes are easily identifiable by the numbers on the seals. Some popular sizes include 6001, 6002, 6803, 6901, 6902. If the bearing seal has become damaged or the sizing is no longer visible, you can identify you bearing with 3 simple measurements.
