-Hybrid Bearings
Innovative technology
for superior professional performance
Outstanding smooth-running properties
thanks to Advanced by FAG friction-optimization: bearing cage
has an integrated non-contact seal on only one side, along with
an optimized design using Cronitect

raceway geometry and

ceramic balls
Reliable and extremely durable
thanks to Cronitect

stainless steel (bearing rings are hard on

the outside and soft on the inside therefore unbreakable and
extremely corrosion-resistant) + high-performance ceramic balls
Made in Germany Advanced by FAG
Designed exclusively by FAG for racing bikes and mountain bikes
(inner- and hub bearings, derailleur, pedals); also suitable for
speed skating, yachting, fishing reels, etc.
What sets an FAG bearing apart from the competition?
History. For over 120 years, FAG has been a world leader in precision
rolling bearings. Company founder Friedrich Fischer knew as far back
as 1883 that ball bearings are actually synonymous with energy
efficiency. After all, the purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce friction,
which, in turn, consumes less energy. Consequently, his first bearings
were mostly installed and how could it be otherwise? in bicycles.
Friction. Ever since then, we have meticulously designed all of our
bearing components to work together in perfect harmony, which is
why our bearings usually run more smoothly than anyone elses.
Proof positive: FAGs newly designed Generation C deep groove ball
bearings generate 35 % less friction than the previous generation.
Service life and performance are significantly increased while energy
consumption is dramatically reduced.
Materials. Another notorious energy hog weight meets its match
as we employ new, higher efficiency materials. For example, com-
bining our innovative high-performance Cronitect

stainless steel
with ceramic balls led us to develop a hybrid bearing with record-
breaking potential. With their incredibly smooth operation, long
service life, and maximum corrosion resistance, these bearings are
currently taking the market for racing bicycles by storm.
