RAKETA COMPONENTS Bottom Bracket T47 68 mm | black
Rockets, the heart of space travel, are subject to considerable stress: enormous accelerations, high speeds, extreme temperatures and the vacuum of space. In this environment, the highest standards of quality and precision are not mere ideals, but vital requirements. Space rockets must function reliably - during launch, in space and on re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. The selection of the best materials and workmanship with maximum precision are therefore crucial to ensure safety, functionality and reliability. Even the smallest deviations can have catastrophic consequences, which is why no compromises are possible in the space industry.
A similar demand for technical excellence is also evident at Raketa Components. Although the company is dedicated to cycling and not space travel, it focuses on the highest material quality and processing precision when developing its components.
Selected aluminum alloys with outstanding properties, precision-manufactured with minimal tolerances, form the basis for bottom brackets that offer mechanically perfect power coupling and maximum durability.
If you want to be as fast as a rocket on your racing bike, you need highly effective power transmission that doesn't waste a single watt. For this reason, Raketa bottom brackets are designed to be exceptionally precise and stable. This allows you to transform every pedal stroke into direct acceleration and constant propulsion - for maximum speed with minimum energy loss.
Developed on the basis of experience from track cycling, where Raketa has been supporting world-class riders as a material supplier for many years, components of the highest quality are created. Valuable feedback directly from competition use flows into product development. In no other racing class are drive components exposed to such enormous loads as in track cycling. In disciplines such as sprint or keirin, riders briefly pedal at extremely high power levels - often over 2000 watts. Any play between the bottom bracket and the crank would have a noticeable impact on performance.
To prevent the ingress of dust and dirt, the high-quality steel bearings are sealed with labyrinth seals. The name 'labyrinth' comes from the multi-level structure of the seal, which consists of several overlapping grooves or channels that act like a labyrinth. As this special sealing system effectively protects against external influences, the Raketa bottom bracket requires less maintenance or relubrication and offers long-lasting good running properties.
