Factory-Links Bearings & Seals

Factory-Links Bearings & Seals: Engineered for Off-Road Demands

When it comes to bearings and seals for powersports vehicles, few brands understand the punishment of real off-road riding better than Factory-Links. The brand was built with a singular focus: to engineer bearing and seal kits that outlast standard OEM components in the harshest environments dirt bikes, ATVs, and off-road machines encounter — mud, sand, water crossings, and relentless vibration.

Two Product Lines, One Standard of Quality

Factory-Links structures its bearings and seals lineup around two distinct series, each targeting a specific rider need:

• OEM Series® — A cost-effective alternative to factory replacement parts, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications with dependable performance, durability, and exact fitment. These kits are ideal for trail riders and commuters looking to restore their suspension, steering, and wheels to factory-spec reliability without the dealership markup.
• Race Series® — Premium materials, advanced sealing, and race-proven durability engineered for high-impact riding and harsh environments. This line is built for riders who push their machines to the limit and need components that won't flinch under sustained stress.

What Sets Factory-Links Apart in Bearings & Seals

Factory-Links didn't simply adapt industrial bearings for off-road use — they engineered a system from the ground up. Factory-Links products are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with automotive specification standards and are certified for off-road use. Key technical differentiators include:

• Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) double-lip oil seals help prevent abrasives, corrosive moisture, and other harmful contaminants from entering bearings.
• A special V-groove on the inner race provides superior resistance to water intrusion.
• Grease filling has been increased from 30% to 60% for harsh conditions , using heavy-duty premium marine grease with a special complex thickener that provides unsurpassed rust and corrosion protection, yielding virtually waterproof components.
• Tapered bearings are ground to an accurate angle to ensure smooth operation and sustain high-impact shock, while dust seals are matched to each type of tapered bearing to assure the best containment of dust and water.
