CeramicSpeed bearings Higher Speed – Lower Friction – Longer Life
In 2000, founder and managing director of CeramicSpeed, Jacob Csizmadia, introduced ceramic bearings to professional cycling for the first time. In 2001 Jacob spent three weeks during the Tour de France with Team CSC optimizing their equipment with ceramic bearings in their bottom brackets, hubs and pulley wheels. We estimate today that more than half of the UCI ProTour teams use CeramicSpeed bearings. CeramicSpeed officially sponsors ProTour teams HTC-highroad and Team Saxo Bank-SunGard. Furthermore, we sponsor the Danish National Track team and a cycling, triathlon and MTB. CeramicSpeed is a sub-supplier for a number of the most ambitious manufacturers of bike parts.

Part of the Victory
“CeramicSpeed is simply the top bearing product on the market today. It’s extremely durable, and compared to standard bearings it is both lighter, stronger and spins with much less friction. So for Saxo BankSunGard it is an easy and obvious choice.” Bjarne Riis
- team owner, Saxo Bank-SunGard “CeramicSpeed bearings spins with significantly less friction than standard bearings. They are also a lot more durable, which is important under the extreme conditions on a Pro Tour team. CeramicSpeed is a reliable tuning and makes our riders go faster” Lars Teutenberg TechDev Manager, Team HTC-Highroad
CeramicSpeed Quality A bearing is made of five different components and there are millions of ways to spec it. Luckily, we have chosen the best solution for you.
Benefits – Always searching that last detail which can make the difference at the end of the race? You can find exactly what you need with CeramicSpeed bearings in your hubs, bottom bracket and pulley wheels. CeramicSpeed bearings reduce friction, improve power transfer and increase bearing longevity. These advantages over standard steel bearings are gained by using the world’s finest ceramic balls. Compared to steel balls, the ceramics balls we use are rounder, harder, smoother, stiffer, lighter and more durable! Less friction saves your energy!
Ceramic Balls We use the finest Silicium Nitride Grade 3 balls with the highest achievable surface finish and roundness. Facts: 600% smoother, 129% harder and 58% lighter than steel balls typically used on bikes.

Hardened steel raceways High quality ABEC 5 races of hardened steel with polished grooves. Only hardened steel is durable enough for ceramic balls. Each is anti-corrosion treated.
Ball bearing cages Our reinforced polyamide cages help reduce friction, increase bearing performance and prolong the longevity of the bearing.
Seals Seals are added to keep dirt outside and grease inside the bearing. Our special seals are optimized for very low friction and maximum protection.
Grease From the thousands of available grease types we have chosen the three types best suited for ceramic bearings in bicycles. These are optimized for low friction and maximum longevity. KNOW-HOW. The 6th element in our bearings is know-how. We have 15 years of experience with ceramic bearings for bikes which none of our competitors have.
Products Higher speed – Lower friction – Longer life
Whether you are a weekend warrior enjoying Tuscany’s winding roads, a pro triathlete fighting the heat and winds of Kona or an off-road enthusiast challenging yourself and your equipment in the harshest conditions, CeramicSpeed can improve your performance. Save energy, go faster and stop worrying about bearing breakdown. CeramicSpeed can be used for any cycling discipline.
Bottom Brackets CeramicSpeed bottom brackets reduce friction, increase drivetrain stiffness, last longer and give better power transfer. We have a bottom bracket for almost any crank and frame combination.

Pulley wheels CeramicSpeed alloy pulley wheels save energy and last longer. Of all the bearings on a bicycle, pulley wheels spin at the highest RPM (4-5 times faster than the bottom bracket on a road bike) and offer a great opportunity for saving power. Available for Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo.
Wheel upgrade kits Optimize your favorite wheelset with CeramicSpeed bearings or balls. We offer complete kits for all leading brands. Get the most out of your wheelset with CeramicSpeed bearings.
Ride with the Best CeramicSpeed focus on manufacturing the World’s best ceramic bearings. The advantages of ceramic bearings are multiple: Friction is reduced by up to 90% while power transfer and bearing longevity are increased 4-8 times compared to steel bearings. CeramicSpeed also manufactures bearings for industrial applications. Companies in all industries can increase their productivity and performance while they reduce energy consumption and service cost by switching to CeramicSpeed bearings. CeramicSpeed is used by the two ProTour teams HTC-highroad and Team Saxo Bank-SunGard.
