Why use Ceramic Bearings?

Ceramic hybrid ball bearings are found in a variety of applications in NASCAR, Formula 1, USAC, NHRA, and many other professional racing series. There is also a significant performance advantage of ceramic bearings in karting, quarter midgets, and jr. dragsters, including:

• 40% minimum reduction of friction!
• 60% less rotating mass
• Less heat generation
• Closer tolerances and less deflection
• Less lubrication needed
• 3 to 5 times longer life

TKO is the largest producer of ceramic racing bearings in the U.S. They supply all the NHRA Pro Stock cars and motorcycles as well as Team Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and KTM. Many NASCAR teams including Roush and Joe Gibbs Racing use TKO bearings.

AAR Racing Gear offers the complete line of TKO ceramic bearings. (We can also provide them for your big car or bike!)
