★★★★★

"I installed this on my build with a stock engine, and it performs way beyond what you'd expect from a standard setup. Noticeably more power and way less vibration!"

— Francis Cartagena

Free Horsepower Your Engine Is Already Making

Every bearing inside your engine creates friction.

Friction consumes horsepower.

MSV Racing Ceramic Hybrid Bearings utilize advanced Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) ceramic balls that dramatically reduce internal resistance compared to conventional steel bearings.

The result:

• Faster acceleration
• Improved throttle response
• Reduced parasitic power loss
• Increased engine efficiency
• More power reaching the rear wheel

Rather than creating horsepower, ceramic hybrid bearings help your engine waste less of the horsepower it already produces.

Faster Revs Through Reduced Rotating Mass

Weight matters inside a performance engine.

Our Ceramic Hybrid Bearing Kit is approximately 15% lighter than traditional steel bearings, removing 144 grams of rotating mass from your CR500 engine.

Benefits include:

✔ Faster RPM Climb

✔ Quicker Throttle Response

✔ Improved Engine Efficiency

✔ More Responsive Power Delivery

The engine simply feels freer and more responsive throughout the powerband.

Cooler Running. Longer Lasting.

Less friction creates less heat.

Ceramic hybrid bearings operate at significantly lower temperatures than conventional steel bearings, reducing wear and improving reliability under demanding riding conditions.

Benefits include:

• Lower operating temperatures
• Reduced bearing wear
• Improved durability
• Greater reliability
• Extended service life

Many ceramic hybrid bearings can achieve service lives up to five times longer than conventional steel bearings.

Smoother Performance with Less Vibration

The reduced friction and improved bearing precision help decrease engine vibration throughout the RPM range.
