JTEKT has recently introduced the ONI bearing for application in race bicycle wheels. The ceramic Oni bearing provides superior performance by reducing internal friction to the absolute minimum without compromising strength and durability. 

At the same time JTEKT supports initiatives to train “wannabe” future bicycle racers, to participate safely to the daily traffic on the road.

 “.....before you can reach the professional top with JTEKT ONI race wheel bearings, you need to start at an early age to learn to participate safely to the road traffic: this is exactly what J&L Verlag is doing by providing training to children in several German communities and JTEKT is happy to sponsor this great initiative.....” says Selma Baruch, Marketing Specialist at JTEKT Europe Bearings.
