Change your bearings now! 40% less costs, 80% less weight and 100% less maintenance!

“Digital bikes” and “bikes as vehicles” are some of the trends that are of great importance in today’s bicycle world, with electrification also introducing new application potentials for bikes used in everyday life. This changes the demands of the components installed on the bike: impact and shock loads are exerted on the bearings used in the components while riding mountain bikes across uneven ground, whereas the e-bike is designed to cover the greatest possible range with one battery charge. To ensure the bike is lightweight, has a long service life and is low maintenance, self-lubricating iglide® plain bearings should be implemented. iglide® bearings made of high-performance plastics are low in cost, more wear resistant than metallic bearings, durable in extreme environmental conditions, characterized by low friction values, and they defy shocks and bumps. Overall, iglide® plain bearings provide savings in weight, maintenance and price.

Applications of igus® bearings made of high performance plastics

In pedals, seatposts, brakes, brake levers, shocks, suspension forks, derailleurs and many more parts – igus® bearings are already used in many different parts from the broadest range of manufacturers. Here, you will find several potential uses for iglide®bearings in bikes.
