MXRR is proud to offer a complete kit of HYBRID CERAMIC BEARINGS for Honda CRF dirt bikes.
These particular bearings are designed to be antifriction: constructed of High Nitrogen steel inner, outer rings and high temperature nylon retainers with ceramic rolling elements in place of steel.
Ceramic hybrid bearings use Silicon Nitride balls (Si3N4) to meet and exceed today’s performance in extreme racing application requirements, offering a long list of characteristics far superior to those of conventional all-steel bearings.
Ceramic rollers are in average 40% less dense than steel, the resulting reduction in weight decreases centrifugal forces imparted on the rings, reducing skidding, allowing 30 to 50% higher running speeds with less lubrication, ensuring increased performance.
Silicon nitride rollers have a 50 % higher modulus of elasticity (resistance to deformation) than steel, which means a 15 to 20% increase in rigidity, improving accuracy. The results of this feature are greater ability to withstand vibrations and increased load.
Ceramic Hybrid bearings truly are “anti-friction". Lower friction leads to less wear, less lubrication, less energy consumption, reduced sound level and extends life lowering your operating costs and increasing performance. Lowered operating temperatures improve reliability of the work environment.
With their numerous advantages Ceramic Hybrid bearings typically yield up to 5 times longer life than conventional steel-steel ball bearings in most applications.
