We don't want to start a battle, but we think it is fair to claim there are some problems with the pressed bottom brackets. They ratchet, do not last so long and are installed and removed with tools that would detect the cave inhabitants. The Ninja bottom bracket from TOKEN solves the crease problems, improves the service life and gives the bottom bracket stiffness. We start with our Fusion technology, this is a combination of plastic and fibers that covers an alloy bottom bracket housing. The composite material allows for precise machining and adapts perfectly to the frame, so that it does not move in the frame and sounds like grandma's click and ratchet knees. But plastic and fibers do not do a good job in supporting bearings, poorly stored bearings can wear off prematurely. We houses the bearings in an alloy shell and wrap them with plastic and fibre. This fusion of the three materials provides the bearings a solid platform on which they sit and extend their life. Many people would be satisfied with this, but we went further with the removal of the alloy housing, so that the right and left side snap together. This locks the frame, cranks and bottom bracket together and ensures incomparable rigidity. There are many well-known brands that use it, such as: LOOK, FOCUS, FELT, etc.
