Ceramicspeed EVO386 Shimano Bottom Bracket (Black Coated)

The EVO386 standard is designed for oversized spindles. CeramicSpeed’s kit for Shimano allows you to install Shimano or FSA cranks with 24mm thru-axle spindles.

The cups come with CeramicSpeed Bearings installed. Both CeramicSpeed Standard and Coated Bearings are available. Both utilize super smooth CeramicSpeed Balls and hardened steel races. The latter has an additional metallic coating on the races to further smooth and harden the steel, further increasing life and lowering drag.

Technical Data

The design of overlapping cups extending through the shell for EVO386 reduces the likelihood of creaking and increases the reliability of the system.

The CeramicSpeed Standard Bearings feature an average drag reduction of 75% compared to stock bottom brackets. That translates into the frictional drag of 0.3-0.4 watts per set, which is the result of great design, hardened-steel races, and ceramic balls that are 100% smoother and 15% harder than the ceramic competition.

The CeramicSpeed Coated Bearings is a step up as they reduce drag by 50% compared to our Standard Bearings and an improvement in bearing life by 60%.

All Round Grease comes standard in the bearings but can be replaced for lower drag Race Day Grease, or higher durability Long Life Grease, which adds a bit of drag but stays in when riding through messy conditions.

Coated

Our coated products are covered by a lifetime warranty. The unique coating formula is a metallic layer that covers the bearing races and makes them 75% harder than steel. Thanks to this, they are highly resistant to corrosion and the coating provides an even lower friction than our standard bearings. Even if the bearing is contaminated with degreaser, water, or mud, the risk of bearing failure due to corrosion is negligible if you choose the coated version.
