Overview

Why Use the Enduro Max 6900 in Small Suspension Pivots?

The Enduro Max 6900 brings the same full-complement pivot-bearing technology found in larger Max series bearings to the compact 10mm x 22mm x 6mm form factor, making it the right choice for smaller suspension pivots and linkage positions where load demands exceed what a standard radial bearing can sustain. The full-complement ball design eliminates the cage to fit the maximum number of balls in the race, delivering up to 45% more load capacity than a standard 6900. LLU seals provide maximum contamination protection in exposed pivot locations facing mud, water, and trail debris.

Deeper race grooves offer greater lateral support against the twisting and compound forces that active suspension linkages generate with every wheel input. Almagard Extra High Pressure Grease fills 90% of the bearing interior for consistent lubrication through demanding service intervals. The Max 6900 is the right spec for any small linkage or pivot position where a standard 10x22x6mm bearing is wearing faster than it should or where you simply want to build it right the first time.

Why use the Max 6900 instead of a standard 6900?

The Max 6900 uses a full-complement design with no cage, fitting more balls into the same outer dimensions for up to 45% more load capacity. Deeper race grooves also add lateral support that a standard 6900 cannot provide, making the Max version specifically suited for active suspension use.

What bikes use a 6900 size pivot bearing?

The 6900 (10x22x6mm) is a smaller pivot bearing found in some rear triangle linkage positions on trail and all-mountain bikes, particularly at secondary pivot points that see lower absolute loads but still benefit from the Max series durability.

How often should I inspect small suspension pivot bearings?

Inspect all pivot bearings every 30-50 riding hours, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Small pivot bearings can develop play or roughness before they become obviously loud. Catching them early prevents wear to the frame hardware itself.
