I just found out the deal with the Mondo expensive ceramic bearings last night from a top end street bike racer. Apparently these bearings roll with much less resistance than a metallic OEM style bearing. The top speed guys claim that they will give them 3-5 MPH depending on the vehicle on top end.

Yeah, they outlast standard wheel bearings about 8 to 1 too.

Pretty sure I never owned a bike long enough to go through 8 sets of wheelbearings.

I think WWB sells 5 ceramic bearings for $395.00...2 front, 2 rear, and the cushdrive.

Ceramic bearings have been used in road racing since 5 BC,Sport Rider has done some tests couple of years ago,,,,,,,,,

Wow I didnt know that, I also did more research & found out they are also putting them in supercharger's & Turbocharger's.

I do have one question,

If you are bouncing of the REV-LIMITER in 6th (with lower gearing) it will not give you 3-4mph ?

Only way to go faster if your bouncing off the rev limiter is to ether make it higher or change gearing...

Well there is always dropping it out of a plane too.... :icon_whistle:
