61802-2RSF/HC (6802) Hub Bearings

The CeramicSpeed 61802-2RSF/HC (6802) Hub Bearings bring precision-grade ceramic hybrid performance to your wheel hubs, offering a measurable improvement in rolling efficiency over standard steel bearings. Whether you're grinding through Pune's punishing summer roads or spinning up the Western Ghats, these bearings are selected for Indian conditions where heat and contamination push standard components to their limits.Our TakeFor riders regularly tackling climbs around Lonavala, Khandala, or Coorg, friction is the invisible enemy. CeramicSpeed's 61802-2RSF/HC hybrid ceramic bearings use silicon nitride balls paired with high-grade steel races to cut rolling resistance where it matters most — at the hub. In India's 35°C+ heat, steel bearings expand and drag; ceramics stay dimensionally stable and run cooler, making these a genuinely worthwhile upgrade for serious cyclists across Chennai, Hyderabad, and Delhi.Sizing for Indian RidersThese are hub bearings, so fit is determined by hub shell dimensions rather than rider body size. The 6802 designation corresponds to a specific bore, outer diameter, and width — verify your hub manufacturer's bearing specification before ordering. Most quality road and gravel hubs accept 6802-series bearings. When in doubt, check your hub service manual or contact Cobbled Climbs before purchase.Compatibility NotesThe 61802-2RSF/HC (6802) fits hubs specifying the 6802 bearing standard. The 2RSF double-contact rubber seal provides excellent protection against dust and monsoon moisture. Compatible with most road, gravel, and cross-country MTB hubs from brands including DT Swiss, Shimano, and others using this bearing dimension. Replace in pairs for balanced performance.Pairs Well WithComplete your drivetrain refresh by pairing these bearings with quality hub-compatible freehub bodies, precision bearing press tools, bearing grease formulated for ceramic use, and a durable chain from a trusted drivetrain brand available at Cobbled Climbs.Explore the full Ceramic Speed collection at Cobbled Climbs Why buy from Cobbled Climbs 100% genuine — authorised Ceramic Speed retailer in India Free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 Cash on delivery available nationwide 7-day easy returns Shipped from Mumbai Expert advice — our team rides this gear Frequently Asked Questions What are the CeramicSpeed 61802-2RSF/HC hub bearings best used for?These bearings are ideal for cyclists who want to reduce rolling resistance at the wheel hub on road, gravel, or cross-country mountain bikes. They suit performance-focused riders in Indian cities like Pune, Hyderabad, and Delhi who put in serious training kilometres and want every component working as efficiently as possible.How do I know if the 6802 bearing size fits my hubs?The 6802 designation specifies exact bore, outer diameter, and width dimensions. Check your hub manufacturer's service manual or the existing bearing's printed designation before ordering. Most quality road and gravel hubs from brands like DT Swiss and Shimano publish this information. Contact Cobbled Climbs with your hub model if you need help confirming compatibility.Will CeramicSpeed ceramic bearings hold up in Indian monsoon conditions and extreme heat?Yes. The 2RSF double-contact rubber seal is specifically designed to block water and dust ingress — both significant concerns during India's monsoon season and on dusty roads. Ceramic silicon nitride balls are also dimensionally more stable than steel at high temperatures, making them well-suited to riding in 35°C+ conditions across Chennai, Ahmedabad, and similar climates.How do CeramicSpeed ceramic hybrid bearings compare to standard steel hub bearings?Standard steel bearings are adequate for casual riding but generate more friction, especially as temperatures rise. CeramicSpeed's silicon nitride ceramic balls are harder, smoother, and lighter than steel balls, producing less rolling resistance and lasting longer under high-load conditions. For riders targeting performance gains on climbs like those around Ooty or Leh, the difference is tangible.Are CeramicSpeed hub bearings worth Rs. 14,200 in India, and what warranty is included?For performance cyclists who regularly service their hubs, CeramicSpeed bearings deliver longer service life and lower friction compared to standard replacements, making the investment reasonable over time. CeramicSpeed products typically carry a manufacturer's warranty against defects — contact Cobbled Climbs for warranty specifics.
