Enduro 63800 MAX Bearing 10x19x7
The Enduro 63800 MAX bearing is a full-complement cartridge bearing designed for high-load applications in mountain bike suspension systems. With a compact 10 × 19 × 7 mm format, it is commonly used in linkage pivots where strength and durability are more important than ultra-low friction.
Key Specifications
- Bearing size: 10 × 19 × 7 mm
- 10 mm inner diameter
- 19 mm outer diameter
- 7 mm width
- Part number: 63800 MAX
- Type: Full-complement “MAX” cartridge bearing
What “MAX” Means
MAX bearings are engineered for load capacity rather than speed:
-
More ball bearings inside the race (no cage)
- Increased contact surface for better load distribution
- Higher resistance to crushing forces from suspension loads
Typical Applications
- MTB suspension linkage pivots
- Rear triangle pivot points
- High-stress rotating frame joints
- Some hub and small pivot assemblies depending on frame design
Performance Characteristics
- Extremely high radial load capacity
- Better durability under repeated suspension stress
- Designed to resist deformation in aggressive trail/enduro riding
- Slightly higher friction than caged “speed” bearings, but far more robust
Why It’s Used in MTB Suspension
Suspension pivots don’t prioritise free-spinning efficiency—they need:
- Strength under impact loads
- Resistance to mud, water, and shock loading
- Long service life in contaminated environments
The 63800 MAX is built specifically for that kind of abuse, making it a common choice on modern trail, enduro, and downhill bikes.
