Enduro Bearing 8x16x5mm MAX
What Is It?
The Enduro Bearing 8x16x5mm MAX is a high-load sealed cartridge bicycle bearing designed specifically for MTB suspension pivots, linkages, and high-stress rotating joints.
The “MAX” design means it uses a full complement of balls (no cage), allowing more contact points inside the bearing. This increases load capacity, impact resistance, and durability, making it ideal for aggressive off-road riding conditions.
Key Features
- High-performance sealed cartridge bearing
- MAX design (no ball retainer, full ball fill)
- Compact 8 x 16 x 5 mm size
- Designed for heavy radial and side loads
- Rubber seals for protection against dirt and water
- Pre-greased for smooth operation out of the box
- Optimised for MTB suspension pivot systems
- Longer lifespan under high-impact riding conditions

- Enduro and downhill riders needing maximum durability
- E-bike riders stressing frame pivots more than average
- Cyclists experiencing play, creaking, or rough suspension movement
- Anyone doing full suspension maintenance or overhaul
Why MAX Bearings Matter
The MAX design improves durability by:
- Increasing the number of balls inside the bearing
- Spreading load across more contact points
- Improving resistance to shock and side loads
- Making it ideal for non-rotational pivot points (where loads are high but rotation is limited)
