Motorcycle bearing technology

Motorcycle bearings

Motorcycles are becoming a popular method of transportation, especially in the UK. We have a huge motorbike community so being able to use igus® products on them is advantageous. 
There are various areas in which motocyle bearings can be used, such as:
  • Suspension forks,
  • throttle valves
  • brakes
These are areas where iglidur® plain bearings and igubal® spherical bearings can be used. These lightweight metal alternatives offer weight reduction, removed requirement for lubrication and thereore reduces maintenance.
