Overview
Bearing Enduro 608 LLU MAX BO 8x22x7
The Enduro 608 LLU MAX BO is a MAX-design radial suspension bearing engineered specifically for the high and multi-directional loads found in mountain bike suspension pivots. Enduro pioneered MAX-type bearings over 20 years ago to overcome the limitations of standard radial bearings in pivot applications.
The MAX construction uses a full-complement ball design, inserting the maximum number of balls into the bearing through a specially ground slot in the races. This results in a 35–40% increase in load capacity compared to standard radial bearings. The deeper race grooves also provide increased lateral support, helping the bearing withstand twisting and multi-directional forces common in suspension pivots.
This bearing features Grade 10 precision balls and full-contact, double-lip LLU labyrinth seals for maximum protection against water, dirt, and debris. The seals retain a 90% fill of Almagard extra high-pressure grease, ensuring smooth operation and long service life even under extreme conditions.
The Black-Oxide / magnetite surface treatment adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance, making this bearing ideal for wet and harsh environments. This model has been widely used as a suspension pivot bearing by numerous bicycle brands.
Like all Enduro bearings, it is engineered with the deepest possible race grooves and dual-lip seals riding in a micro-groove, creating a full labyrinth that delivers superior protection and long-lasting performance.
