E-bikes and cargo bikes are two trends that play an important part in today's bicycle world. Save weight, increase service life and minimise maintenance intervals with igus®. Dry operating iglidur plain bearings made of high-performance polymers are lightweight, extremely wear-resistant and characterised by very low friction values. They defy shocks and bumps and are more resistant than metallic bearings - especially in extreme environmental conditions. Dirt, temperature, detergents and humidity are no longer challenges. By the elimination of external lubricants, maintenance is also minimised.
Tech up, cost down - with iglidur E plain bearings in chassis or pedals, the vibration-dampening endurance runner with 20% less wear than iglidur J.

Special solutions are just as much part of the igus product range as standard parts. Our experts match the choice of the manufacturing process and the component material precisely to your needs. The right material for your purposes is selected from a wide range of wear-resistant and maintenance-free high-performance polymers.
Dry-operating plastic bearing for road and mountain bikes
In pedals, seat posts, brakes, brake levers, shocks, suspension forks, derailleurs and many more parts – igus plain bearings are already used in many different parts from the broadest range of manufacturers. Here, you will find several potential uses for polymer plain bearings in mountain bikes.
Test: Linear wear rate
Test: Rotating wear rate
Test of coefficient of friction (rotating)
Test: Pivoting wear rate
