Curious if anybody has used these on a 2-stroke GP bike? Wheels, cranks, trans. I know they are a little more expensive than the OEMs, aside from that how did it go? Thanks
Are you talking Hybrid Ceramics like World Wide Bearings sales? Or full ceramics? I don't know anybody running full ceramics, but I know a few people running ceramic hybrids in both wheels and complete engines, and gearboxes with great results. I want to say the quote I got to do my RZ motor and gear box with hybrid ceramics was $675 , it included 4 crank , 2 trans , 1 water pump Bearing and a single Ceramic Ball for your clutch pusher.
Thanks all for your replies, good to know people are using them without catastrophic failures! Particularly ones inside the motor.
To my understanding. A failure inside the motor is pretty unlikely with the hybrid bearings. It has steel races and ceramic balls. This combination is supposedly pretty reliable. And inside a motor shouldn't see any sharp impacts which is what would cause the common failure mode for ceramic. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I used the full kit of these bearings in my RS125 engine/trans for multiple seasons (bought from Dave at WWB). I never had a failure and they're good for about 1-1.5hp. Many years ago I used the full ceramic bearings and had a crank bearing failure -- it was very, very ugly. Happened 2x in one season...
