ENDURO BEARINGS 689 llu max - abec 3 max (radial) - 9x17x5

Upgrade your mountain bike with the 689 LLU MAX bearing, designed specifically for demanding pivot points. This MAX-type bearing, developed by Enduro Bearings over 20 years ago, offers 35-40% higher load capacity than standard radial bearings by incorporating a maximum number of precision balls into deep-groove races, thanks to a custom ground slot. Its robust design provides excellent lateral support for twisting and multi-directional forces common in mountain biking. Featuring deep-groove race design, Grade 10 balls, and full-contact double-lip labyrinth seals (LLU), it ensures maximum protection against dirt, water, and debris while maintaining 90% fill of high-pressure Almagard grease. Widely used as suspension pivot bearings across top bicycle brands, this bearing is available in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic-hybrid, and XD-15 with ceramic or stainless balls. Engineered for durability, it includes dual-lip seals riding in micro-grooves for superior environmental resistance. Static load capacity is 248 lbf (1.10 kN) with a weight of just 7.02 grams.
