Designed specifically for suspension pivots, Enduro Bearings pioneered
MAX type bearings almost 20 years ago for bicycles to address the
challenges associated with mountain bike pivots. These bearings have
35-40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings. We accomplish
this with a special design where the maximum number of balls are
inserted into the bearing. The race grooves are deeper on these bearings
for more lateral support for the twisting and multiple forces
associated with mountain bike pivots. LLU seals give maximum protection
against the elements, while keeping the 90% fill of Almagard Extra High
Pressure Grease inside.

Enduro LLU Type Seals
Similar to the LLB type seal, LLU is a full contact, dual lip seal
riding in a groove on the inner race. With more sealing pressure, these
are ideal for pivots or headsets that continually come in contact with
dirt, sweat, and dust. The increased seal pressure and 2 lips help
retain the 90% grease fill we use on these bearings to better displace
any moisture and continually lubricate the balls and races.
