Hybrid bearing for the motor

The power of the car in the frame from the bike requires perfection, professionalism in all components used in the frame, wheels, clutch and other parts. Even the small power gains we get on the bearings used in the motorcycle add up.
Speedway bikes have excellent acceleration, even better than Formula 1 cars where ceramic and hybrid bearings are standard and the place we take in the first corner is of great importance.
The use of a hybrid bearing will make the biggest difference in the first 30 meters, where everyone is using full power and nuances such as low starting friction will often determine a winning start.

asked Bartosz Zmarzlik:

"The best riders are constantly improving and experimenting with their equipment and this applies to virtually the entire motor dispute, although everyone uses a veil of what technical solution they used."

We know the hybrid bearing most often from applications working in difficult conditions
conditions: high speed, climatic and refrigeration compressors, electric machines and gears, and where we care about the lowest possible energy consumption for movement, e.g. drones.

We will know the answer after we get to know the hybrid bearing.

The first and biggest advantage of ceramic hybrid bearings in motorcycles over standard steel bearings is that ceramic hybrid bearings are able to achieve higher RPM for the same power delivered. Ceramic balls have a surface similar to glass, so they have almost no friction. In addition to reducing friction, lighter ceramic balls spin more efficiently at higher speeds. The second advantage of using a ceramic hybrid bearing is its ability to operate at higher temperatures. Ceramic balls conduct heat, so when the bearing accelerates and decelerates, heats up and cools down, the balls are not affected. The third advantage is the weight of the ceramic bearing. Ceramic balls are approximately 33% lighter than steel balls, which means a ceramic hybrid bearing will be lighter than a standard steel bearing. This difference in weight may not matter much to the casual user, but for highly competitive or performance-focused events, weight reduction should always be considered. The fourth advantage is that ceramic balls are corrosion resistant, which helps them last longer when exposed to harsh external factors. hybrid bearings last 2 to 5 times longer than steel or stainless steel bearings. The fifth advantage is that the ceramic is non-magnetic, which reduces the risk of damage from an external source. The sixth advantage is that ceramic balls are actually lighter and more durable than steel balls, thanks to their microstructure and smoothness. Low adhesion and low friction means that hybrid bearings can perform well even when poor or little lubrication is used.

Are there the most benefits of using a hybrid bearing in a touring bike? - I don't think so.

In a cross bike, we will achieve the most benefits at the start.

It seems that hybrid bearings are best used in speedway motorbikes and two-wheelers used for racing on an asphalt track - the so-called. Superbikes because it is in these motors that the maximum power is used at the moment of starting.

Because hybrid bearings also spin faster due to the lower reciprocating mass (in practice, this means they start up faster) and it allows me to increase cranking power by about 20% compared to traditional bearings.
It is in a speedway motorcycle that the starting torque plays a very important role in the entire running process.
