Metal-free cycling - design study: xiros® wheel bearing for the igus:bike

Zero lubrication, maintenance and corrosion

We made the wheel bearing metal-free. The two-component wheel bearings* for the igus:bike contain lubrication-free, virtually maintenance-free plastic ball bearings. These are characterised by their exceptional wear resistance and low noise emissions; made for generations of cyclists.

Our wheel bearings once again demonstrate the demands we place on our bikes: long-lasting and innovative use of plastics prevents wear and waste, helping people and the environment in equal measure. Under development by igus.
