CEMA Bearing strengthens collaboration with professional cycling teams in 2026
At CEMA Bearing, we believe that innovation and quality truly prove themselves at the highest level of sport. That is why we will once again be working with various professional cycling teams in 2026. These partnerships enable us to use our bearings under extreme conditions and to receive direct feedback from riders and mechanics at the highest level.
By collaborating with competitive teams, we continue to refine our products and develop technology that benefits both professional riders and passionate cyclists.
Supporting performance at the highest level
Professional cycling teams place exceptionally high demands on their equipment. During races and training sessions, components are constantly exposed to heavy loads, changing weather conditions, and intensive use. Reliability, minimal friction, and durability are essential.
CEMA Bearing supports teams with high-quality bottom brackets, wheel bearings, and derailleur pulleys designed to deliver maximum performance. Thanks to our various bearing types—from stainless steel to ceramic and SG3-coated ceramic hybrid bearings—we can offer solutions tailored to a wide range of disciplines and racing conditions.
