Full Ceramic Bearings Vs Steel

Ceramic bearings vs steel bearings ceramic materials offer superior corrosion and heat resistance higher dimensional stability and lower density which facilitates high speed.

Full ceramic bearings vs steel.

I decided to test the capabilities of ceramicspeed enduro a cheap ebay bear. While they use ceramic balls these bearings are paired with metal inner and outer rings. Ceramic bearings versus steel bearings the debate has gone on for a long time. Most sealed ceramic bearings are actually hybrid ceramic bearings which combine a steel race with ceramic ball bearings.

Full ceramic bearings use ceramic races which can be lighter and provide the lowest friction but come at a durability cost. A hard impact from a pothole could crack the races and freeze the hub instantly. Using this combination allows for higher. For the simplicity of this article we only look at hybrid ceramic bearings with steel races.
