6902 LLU MAX BOSL - Solid-Lube, MAX-Design, Black-Oxide, ABEC-3, radial suspension bearing - 15mm x 28mm x 7mm
MAX Solid Lube suspension pivot bearings feature a unique lubricant-infused foam polymer injection molded intο the bearing assembly, replacing traditional grease or oils typically found inside a bearing. The solid lube polymer fills the entire cavity of the bearing leaving almost no room for contaminants or moisture to penetrate and create friction.
Enduros all-conditions Solid Lube solution is comprised of two essential parts: a continuous microporous polymer and a proprietary lubricant containing special additives. As Solid Lube engages with the moving balls, the lubricant is transferred from millions of pores to the ball and race surfaces. As the bearing moves, temperature and pressure introduce a uniform and continuous lubrication film between all metal parts to minimize friction and extend bearing life. When bearing movement stops, capillary action returns the lubricant back intο the polymers micropores where it is stored for future bearing movements.
Enduro Bearings pioneered MAX-type bearings over 20 years ago for bicycles to address the challenges associated with mountain bike pivots. MAX-type bearings provide 35-40% more load capacity than standard radial bearings by utilizing a special design where the maximum number of balls are inserted intο the bearing, via a custom ground slot in the races. The additional balls, combined with deep race grooves in these bearings provide greater lateral support for the twisting and multi-directional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.
This MAX-type, Black-Oxide, bearing features Black-Oxide treated, 52100 High-Carbon Chromium alloy races paired with two rows of grade 10 Balls. All Enduro bearings are engineered with deeper grooves to accommodate the largest balls possible, providing maximum bearing contact area and greatly increased bearing life. Designed specifically for bicycle applications, the LLU full contact seals used in these bearings utilize a dual-lip labyrinth design to provide maximum protection from the elements. The Black-Oxide/Magnetite coating provides an extra level of corrosion resistance, as well as an additional level of material normalization, for extended worry-free performance against wear and the elements.

ENDURO BEARINGS is an American premium bicycle bearing manufacturer, founded in 1996 in Oakland, California by two old friends — Matt Harvey and Mike Alders. The brand's origin story is a classic garage dream: it started in the attic of a forklift repair shop, with a pile of steel balls, a couple of steel bars, two Apple II computers and a single desk phone as equipment. The idea came from the collision of two men's different careers: Matt had been a bicycle engineer at Gary Fisher Bicycles, White Industries and Bianchi (his signature is on, among other things, the legendary Fisher RS-1 — one of the first seriously credible full-suspension MTBs — and the Bianchi full-suspension road race bike on which Johan Museeuw started Paris–Roubaix), while Mike was working in his father's forklift repair business, hand-crafting forklift mast bearings for older forklifts whose spare parts were no longer being produced. One day Matt realised that exactly the same solution — a full complement bearing, with more balls and no traditional cage — would work brilliantly in smaller bicycle bearings too, where loads are high and rotation speeds are low (for example, on suspension pivots). That insight became the cornerstone of Enduro Bearings. Today Enduro has a roughly 4,600 m² facility at its Oakland headquarters, plus production centres in Gilroy (California), Singapore, Taiwan and a joint venture in China — meaning the company covers the entire spectrum: from economical mass-produced ABEC 3 bearings all the way to its flagship, the XD-15 ceramic hybrid bearings, which are produced from start to finish in California. The XD-15 stands out in its materials: the races are made of nitrogen-infused steel that does not corrode and outlasts even stainless steel thanks to its finer microstructure, while the balls are made of silicon nitride ceramic. The result is a bearing that gets smoother with age, not slower like most ceramic hybrids — and all of that comes with a lifetime warranty. The range also includes, alongside standard bearings, bottom brackets, headset bearings, suspension pivot bearings, fork seals, derailleur pulleys and all the specialist tools required to replace these bearings. Today Enduro bearings are fitted to millions of bikes every year — OEM customers include world-leading brands such as Santa Cruz, Pivot, Rocky Mountain, Trek, Canyon and Cervelo. The philosophy Matt and Mike set out in 1996 still applies today: listen to the problems of mechanics, bike builders and riders — and then build a solution that handles them and lasts longer than anyone expected.
