While press fit bottom brackets often suffer from creaking, short lifespan, and outdated installation/removal methods, the Token Ninja bottom bracket addresses these issues. The Ninja solves creaking problems, improves bearing life, and adds stiffness to the bottom bracket assembly.
The design starts with Token's 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, plastic and fibre alone do not adequately support bearings, which can lead to premature wear.
To counter this, the bearings are housed in an alloy shell, which is then wrapped with plastic and fibre. This fusion of the three materials provides a solid platform for the bearings, extending their lifespan. Token further enhanced this design 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 can be purchased individually or in a package that includes adapters to fit several different frame and crankset combinations.
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. It is a replacement part that genuinely improves the bike's performance.
