CyclingCeramic bearing kits are designed to offer you a complete set of bearings for easy wheel fitting. Manufactured in France, these bearings provide long-lasting performance for road, track, gravel, or time trial/triathlon use. Many high-end wheels lack ceramic bearings, making this a great opportunity to boost your wheel performance! Even on modest wheels, the improvement in efficiency is noticeable, as rolling resistance is proportional to speed, and wheels often come with low-efficiency bearings.
The maintenance of this wheel bearing kit is facilitated by the blue grease provided with the kit. If a kit is not listed, please contact us, and we can create a custom kit at a preferential price, as this kit is a set of CyclingCeramic bearings with an overall discount. To degrease the bearings, we recommend using the CyclingCeramic degreaser sold separately.

CyclingCeramic Bearing Kit for Mavic Wheels
Upgrade your Mavic wheels with a complete CyclingCeramic ceramic bearing kit, designed to improve smoothness, reduce friction and optimise performance on the road. These kits cover a wide range of Mavic wheelsets, including Ksyrium, Cosmic, Allroad, Comete and R-SYS.
Each kit is matched to the correct front and rear wheel bearing configuration, using references such as 6001, 608, 608/9, 6802, 6804, 6805, 6900, 6901, 6902, 6903, 17287 and 18307.
Why upgrade your Mavic wheels with CyclingCeramic bearings?
CyclingCeramic bearings are designed for cyclists looking for lower rolling resistance, better durability and a smoother riding feel. The improvement is especially noticeable on mid-range wheels, where replacing standard steel bearings can significantly increase efficiency and riding fluidity.
On Mavic wheels, the gain can be particularly impressive because many wheelsets respond very well to a high-quality ceramic bearing upgrade.
Velo-perso's review:
“If you already have high-end wheels, it is unnecessary to change your bearings unless they are worn out. These bearings will transform mid-range wheels into ultra-competitive wheels. The smoothness of the bearings is particularly noticeable above 35km/h. On certain brands, like Mavic, the gain will be very spectacular. Generally, two pairs of high-end wheels with steel bearings and showing a price difference of €500 will have quite similar performance. It might then be wise to choose the cheaper model and fit it with CyclingCeramic bearings.”

Lower friction
Ceramic bearings reduce rolling resistance and improve drivetrain efficiency, especially at higher speeds.
Better durability
Ceramic balls are highly resistant to corrosion and wear, helping maintain performance over time.
Performance upgrade
An ideal upgrade for riders who want to make their Mavic wheels faster, smoother and more competitive.

Who is this upgrade for?
This CyclingCeramic Mavic bearing kit is recommended for riders who want to improve the performance of their existing wheels rather than replacing the complete wheelset. It is particularly relevant for competitive cyclists, triathletes, time trial riders and performance-focused road cyclists.
If your current bearings are worn, rough or contaminated, replacing them with ceramic bearings can restore smoothness while providing a higher-performance upgrade than standard steel bearings.
FAQ – CyclingCeramic Mavic bearing kits
1. Steel or ceramic bearings: which one should I choose?
Ceramic bearings are often preferred for high-speed performance, making them ideal for cycling competitions, time trials and triathlons with average speeds above 40 kph / 25 mph. At lower speeds, high-quality steel bearings can offer similar performance. Ceramic bearings also have the advantage of being more resistant to corrosion, reducing the need for maintenance.
2. Why choose CyclingCeramic bearings?
CyclingCeramic offers an excellent quality-to-price ratio thanks to European manufacturing and a strong focus on material quality. This ensures high-performing, durable bearings that meet the needs of demanding cyclists at a competitive price.
3. How do I maintain the bearings in my CyclingCeramic kit?
For optimal maintenance, disassemble the bearings and clean them using an ultrasonic cleaner, then dry them thoroughly before greasing them with the grease provided in the kit. If you cannot disassemble the bearings, use the CyclingCeramic cleaner, dry the bearings well, and then apply the grease.
4. What if I can't find the right bearing kit for my wheels?
If the specific kit for your wheels is not available, you can build your own kit by purchasing bearings individually, or contact us for a custom-made kit. Please provide the exact reference of your wheels or bearings, and if possible, photos to help identify the compatible kit.
5. Do ceramic bearings require less maintenance?
Yes, ceramic bearings are more resistant to corrosion compared to steel bearings, which reduces the frequency of maintenance. However, regular care is still recommended, especially if you often ride in wet or muddy conditions.
6. What are the benefits of ceramic bearings for cycling?
Ceramic bearings are appreciated for their low rolling resistance and durability. They are ideal for cyclists looking for performance gains at high speeds and aiming to reduce maintenance frequency. They can make a real difference in competitions where every watt counts.
