Race Face Team XC Bottom Bracket

The Race Face Team XC Bottom Bracket is designed for use with X-Type and EXI spindle interfaces. It is intended for frames with a 73mm shell width and an external threaded interface.

The triple wiper seal is designed to create a more effective barrier against dirt, mud, and water compared to standard seals. By keeping contaminants out and retaining the internal grease, it significantly extends the service life of the bearings in harsh riding conditions.

No, this model uses high-quality steel 6805 bearings. They are factory-filled with Phil Wood waterproof grease, which is specifically chosen for its longevity and performance in demanding environments.

You will need a standard external cup wrench compatible with external bottom bracket cups. This is the same tool interface used for most standard external threaded bottom brackets.

Using 6066 aluminum allows for a forged and CNC-machined construction that balances strength with weight savings. The tapered wall design further reduces mass without compromising the structural integrity needed for high-performance riding.
