CeramicSpeed 6802 Bearing

You need to verify the dimensions of your current bearing. This specific model has an inner diameter of 15mm, an outer diameter of 24mm, and a width of 5mm. If your current headset bearing matches these exact measurements, this is a compatible replacement.

Non-contact seals are designed to minimize friction by not physically touching the inner race of the bearing. This allows the bearing to spin more freely than standard rubber-sealed versions, though it does require you to be slightly more diligent about keeping your bike clean.

Yes, they are designed for a wide range of cycling disciplines. However, because they use non-contact seals for maximum efficiency, they are best suited for riders who perform regular maintenance and aren't constantly exposing their bike to extreme mud or grit.

Hardened steel raceways offer the ideal balance of durability and smoothness when paired with ceramic balls. This combination ensures the bearing remains robust under the specific loads of a headset while still providing the low-friction performance CeramicSpeed is known for.

These bearings come pre-lubricated with CeramicSpeed All Round Grease. If you need to service them in the future, we recommend sticking with a low-viscosity grease to maintain the low-friction characteristics of the ceramic balls.

The coating process applied to the raceways increases the hardness and corrosion resistance of the bearing. This results in a longer lifespan and even lower friction compared to standard uncoated ceramic bearings.
