CYCLING BEARINGS

A BEARING FOR EVERY APPLICATION

The foundation of our product strategy is clear: “Engineered to upgrade your ride”. ISB SPORT bicycle bearings have been designed and manufactured to optimize and guarantee their performance in any application, so their characteristics differ depending on their location on the bicycle.
Cycling thrives on challenges, limits, effort, and commitment. At ISB SPORT, we share these values ​​and believe that improving the performance of every bicycle component is the best path to progress and evolution. Therefore, we offer a specialized range for each application.

ENDURANCE SERIES

Based on performance, versatility and durability

APPLICATION

  • Wheel hub
  • Bottom Bracket
  • Suspension pivot (VMax)
  • Headset
  • eBike Motor
  • Pulley

Type: STEEL Bearings

Steel bearings are the most common type used in bicycles because they are very durable, provided they are properly cleaned and lubricated. At ISB SPORT, we offer both chrome steel and stainless steel bearings.

 

Advantages of ISB SPORT Steel Bearings:

  • Greater versatility for different types of bicycles and applications.
  • Greater resistance to sudden impact loads.
  • Smooth and easy rotation to reduce drag and conserve energy.
  • Superior balance between good sealing performance and lower rolling torque.
  • Exclusive heat treatment to reduce ring deformation and ensure durability.

 

Furthermore, within this series we find the VMAX bearings, specially designed for the entire suspensión pivot assembly, whose structural characteristics (without cage and “full ball” structure) make them specific for this application.

PRO SERIES for high performance

Designed to be multi-purpose and race-ready

APPLICATION

  • Wheel hub
  • Bottom Bracket
  • Pulley Wheel

Type: CERAMIC Bearings

Ceramic bearings are those in which the usual steel used in their manufacture is replaced by a ceramic material, either only in the balls for hybrid bearings or throughout for full ceramic bearings. Typically located in the wheels, ceramic bearings offer a significant improvement in efficiency, maximizing the bicycle’s performance.

 

Advantages of ISB SPORT ceramic bearings:

  • Higher speed and extremely smooth operation.
  • Lower coefficient of friction due to the lightness of the balls.
  • Great smoothness and ease of rotation to reduce drag and conserve energy.
  • Less heat generation and wear, extending their lifespan (in appropriate applications).

 

Ceramic bearings are especially recommended for disciplines such as road cycling, fast gravel, triathlon, and track cycling.
