Max Complement (Also known as Full Complement)
At Kinetic we only supply Max Complement bearings for frame suspension pivots. Max type bearings can take a much higher load as they have 40% more balls than standard wheel bearings. A Frame Pivot Bearing experiences only a minor degree of movement concentrated in a small area, thus strength across the axis of load is of the utmost importance. To achieve this, the races are fully loaded with balls to ensure that the load passes through actual balls and not gaps.
If a supplier selling frame pivot bearings fails to mention they supply MAX complement, it's very probable they are bearings that contain retainers and therefore cannot withstand higher loads often experienced in suspension frames. These can fail prematurely. Non-MAX bearings are usually cheaper too.
Note, standard wheel bearings have a metal or nylon retainer with gaps in between, which is perfect for wheels/BB's where full rotation occurs.
Grease & Seals
The bearings (Kinetic's own and also Enduro) will be filled with the correct volume of high-performance water resistant marine grease to prolong the life of your bearing. The seals are usually 2 high quality rubber seals, which is where the 2RS is derived from.
