The Token Ninja bottom bracket addresses common issues associated with press-fit bottom brackets, such as creaking, short lifespan, and difficult installation/removal. The Ninja bottom bracket solves the creaking issues, improves bearing life, and adds stiffness to the bottom bracket.
Token starts with their Fusion technology, which is a combination of plastic and fibre covering an alloy bottom bracket shell. This composite material allows the shell to be precisely machined and fit snugly in the frame, preventing movement that causes noise. However, since plastic and fibre alone do not adequately support bearings, which can lead to premature wear, the bearings are housed in an alloy shell wrapped with the plastic and fibre composite. This fusion of the three materials provides the bearings a solid platform and extends their lives.
Token went further by extending the alloy shell so the right and left sides lock together. This action locks the frame, cranks, and bottom bracket together, providing unparalleled stiffness.
The Ninja bottom bracket not only solves the problem of noisy bottom brackets but also improves the life of the bottom bracket and makes your bike stiffer. Installing one of these replacement parts can significantly improve your bike's performance.
