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 into the bearing, via a custom ground slot in the races. The additional balls, combined with deep race grooves in these bearings providing greater lateral support for the twisting and multi-directional forces associated with mountain bike pivots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.6564%;\"\u003eGrizzly Max Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.0982%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 10 MAX Bearings in the same size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the Enduro MAX Kits, our Grizzly MAX Kits, also, contain bearings that can provide 35-45% extra load capacity due to the removal of the bearing race.  These are strong, quality bearings at an affordable price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eStandard\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThese do not have as many ball bearings as MAX bearings as they contain a race.  We don't, generally, recommend these bearings to be used on pivot points; however, many riders do with no issues and many Bike Brands do not differentiate between the two.  All it means is that they may require checking and replacing more frequently. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100.061%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.6564%;\"\u003eEnduro Standard Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.0982%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnavailable in this spec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.6564%;\"\u003eGrizzly Standard Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.0982%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnavailable in this Spec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cu\u003ePlease note that the bearing sizes required are taken from documentation by the Bicycle Brand; therefore, there may be instances where a size may not be as expected.  If this is the case, please contact us using the Chat box below and we'll be happy to check this out for you. \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubscription Service\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubscribing to your Bearing Kit will see a fresh Frame Bearing Kit delivered to you automatically in line with your bicycle usage and to the specification of your Bicycle Brand (where applicable).  Where possible, we have, also, taken the time to link to these recommendations for you to read at your leisure.  Where the bicycle brand does not detail a recommended schedule, our subscription schedule will be based on industry standards.
