Testing on FSA Ceramic Bearings (bottom bracket & wheel) has
shown speed increases approaching 4% - meaning a rider can gain 20-40m
over 1 km! A Record Bottom Bracket and 100 rpm and 400W consumes 0.6W,
the same BB with ceramic bearings consumes 0.02W!
FSA bearings combine ceramic balls with super low friction seals and a special lubricant.
Unlike
aerodynamics, everyone benefits from reduced bearing friction. Reduced
friction so proportionally more important the slower you ride.
Ceramic bearings last 5-10 times longer that steel bearings, so they're a great long term investment.
