CeramicSpeed BB86 Bottom Bracket for Shimano – Ultimate Efficiency & Durability
The CeramicSpeed BB86 Bottom Bracket is designed to perfectly integrate Shimano and FSA 24mm spindle cranks with BB86 frames, ensuring an ultra-smooth, low-drag interface between your crankset and frame. Precision-engineered and built with premium CeramicSpeed Bearings, this bottom bracket delivers unmatched performance, durability, and energy efficiency for serious cyclists.
Each kit includes two precision-machined cups that press directly into the BB86 shell, pre-installed with your choice of Standard Bearings or Coated Bearings. The Standard Bearings feature hardened-steel races with ultra-smooth CeramicSpeed Balls, providing 75% less drag and up to 3x the lifespan of conventional bearings. The Coated Bearings go even further — their metallic-coated races are 75% harder than steel, reducing friction by an additional 50% and resisting corrosion even in extreme conditions.
Key Features:
Low Friction & High Efficiency: Standard Bearings reduce friction to 0.3–0.4 watts per set — up to 75% less drag than stock options.
Long-Lasting Durability: CeramicSpeed Bearings last at least three times longer than conventional bearings.
Coated Bearing Option: Enhanced corrosion resistance and 60% longer lifespan with an ultra-hard, friction-reducing coating.
Tunable Performance: Comes with All-Round Grease, adjustable to Race Day (lower drag) or Long Life (maximum protection) grease.
