Again interesting, but still not scientific

If this data is real it means that the steel bearing wheel (if the wheel tire combo are 21" Diameter rolled 115.4 feet and the ceramic bearings rolled 351.6 feet. We all know this is not the best way to test bearings because bearings need to be loaded, but it is what it is.

Looking for a super low friction

On our 04 Aprilia RSVR, for instance, we put a set in the front wheel.

With the brake rotors off and the front end off the ground we spun the front wheel by hand

and managed to get it to rotate 21 times with the stock bearings..

That is pretty good, but when we put in a set of our new Ceramic, Rem Polished, MicroBlue®

coated wheel bearings we were able to get that same wheel to rotate by hand an amazing 64

times!



Talk about low friction! Like having roller blade wheels!

Get "free" horsepower and better 1/4mile times without going in the motor!



We can get any bearing you need for any application.

Email us your requirements either by bike year, make, model or bearing dimensions.

We can get any moving part REM® finished and MicroBlue® coated.

This includes drive chains, plain bearing this includes turbos, gears, any moving metal part that frictional losses will help.
