Motorcycle bearings
Motorcycles are becoming a popular method of transportation, especially in the UK. We have a huge motorbike community so being able to use igus® products on them is advantageous.
There are various areas in which motocyle bearings can be used, such as:
- Suspension forks,
- throttle valves
- brakes
These are areas where iglidur® plain bearings and igubal® spherical bearings can be used. These lightweight metal alternatives offer weight reduction, removed requirement for lubrication and thereore reduces maintenance.

Success story
Maintenance-free adjustable footrest with drylin double rail
As the seat on motorbikes cannot be individually adjusted, MV Motorrad Technik GmbH has developed an adjustment mechanism for the footrest. A compact drylin W double rail system is installed, which allows a smooth maintenance-free process even when subjected to aggressive salts, dirt and water. It can also be installed quickly and easily.
