Steel and Ceramic Bottom Brackets: Durability and Performance for All Cyclists

Welcome to our category dedicated to steel and ceramic bottom brackets. We have carefully organized our products to help you make the right choice, based on material type (steel or ceramic) and your bike's frame standard. Before selecting your bottom bracket, make sure you know your frame standard. This will allow you to choose the perfect bottom bracket for your crankset, compatible with its spindle (24 mm, 30 mm, GXP, or DUB). Our selection includes steel and ceramic models from the renowned brands Rotor and CyclingCeramic.

Steel Bottom Brackets: Durable and Affordable (35 to 100€)

Steel bottom brackets are ideal for cyclists on a budget, offering good durability and solid performance. Their robustness makes them a reliable option for those looking for a quality solution without breaking the bank. They are especially suitable for everyday use and various road conditions.

Ceramic Bottom Brackets: Smoother and Superior Performance (120 to 200€)

For cyclists seeking optimal performance, ceramic bottom brackets are the ideal solution. These brackets provide smoother rotation, reducing friction and offering up to 2 watts of efficiency gain, particularly with press-fit models. If you frequently replace your steel bottom bracket or wish to eliminate friction noise, ceramic is a smart choice for extended longevity and consistent performance.

How to Choose Between a Steel or Ceramic Bottom Bracket?

  • Opt for a steel bottom bracket if you are on a budget or need a simple, robust solution.
  • Choose a ceramic bottom bracket if your steel bracket lacks smoothness, requires frequent replacements, or if you want to maximize your cycling efficiency.

Benefits of Ceramic Bottom Brackets

  • Improved smoothness, reducing friction.
  • Extended lifespan, even in demanding conditions.
  • Potential performance gains, especially for press-fit models.
