BB86P-TBT w/6805R-TBT Tiramic Bearings

TBT BEARINGS

TBT Bearings (Tiramic Bearing Technology) deliver outstanding performance. Ceramic balls are 60% lighter than steel, extremely durable, smoother and accelerate faster than their steel counterparts. The starting torque of Tiramic Bearings is only 74% of normal bearings while the turning torque is only 67% of normal bearings. Both these factors significantly reduce chain drag making pedalling lighter and your ride much smoother.

TBT DISTINCTIVE MARK

All TOKEN products equipped with Tiramic Bearings carry a distinctive “TBT” Sticker or laser etched logo.

TOKEN products equipped with Tiramic Bearings include: hubs, integrated BB, ISIS drive BB, square BB, rear derailleur pulley, headset.
