WHY OVERSIZED BEARINGS?

The largest cause of hub failure is bearings going out and destroying the hub. RAD hubs are drilled with an extra large center hole, allowing for a larger bearing with up to five times the load carrying capacity of OEM bearings. This also provides lighter weight and greater torsional stability when landing huge jumps in todays modern MX courses. Larger center race allows more contact between the spacers and bearings which further increases bearing support and long life.

RAD bearings are standard part numbers, readily available at all bearing supply stores.
