Race bike wheels with ceramic ball bearings developed by JTEKT

The ceramic ball bearing developed by JTEKT is applied to the important part of racing bicycle wheels, which improves the speed performance of racing bicycles and provides a comfortable riding experience. In the future, JTEKT will further develop Contribute our solid technology to bicycle racing.

Three advantages of JTEKT products

01Faster

For a race bike, the most important thing is speed.

This product optimizes the internal design of the raceway ring, and due to the use of ceramic rolling elements, the rotational torque is reduced by 50% compared to the current product. This dampens the resistance of the tire as it spins, making the bearing lighter and a faster ride.

02Maintenance is easier

Riders of race bikes need to tighten the hub nuts themselves, adjusting the vibration and spin to their own feel. This product is designed so that it can be easily disassembled for maintenance or oiling every race. In addition, in order to prevent rust caused by rain and moisture, stainless steel is used for the inner and outer rings of this product.

03 More comfortable riding

Preventing foreign objects from entering the bearing is important for maintaining speed and feel. This product adopts a non-contact labyrinth structure, which improves the sealing performance without increasing the rotational resistance. Therefore, a racing bicycle using this product can be ridden comfortably even in road races where foreign matter such as mud and dust are easily mixed in.
