This heavy-duty kit is designed as a high-performance upgrade for bikes equipped with factory ball-type bearings or as a premium \"Factory Quality\" replacement for stock tapered units. By transitioning to tapered roller bearings, you increase the surface area for load distribution, resulting in significantly less wear and a much smoother steering feel under heavy off-road stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are navigating tight technical single-track on a Beta Xtrainer or hitting high speeds on a KTM 500 EXC-F, consistent steering input is vital. This kit is engineered to handle the high-impact loads of motocross and enduro racing while requiring less frequent maintenance than standard OEM ball bearings. The result is a more stable front end and improved rider confidence through rock gardens and rutted corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTapered Roller Upgrade:\u003c\/b\u003e Significantly outlasts standard ball-type bearings with increased surface contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReduced Maintenance:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered for less wear and longer service intervals in harsh off-road environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete Rebuild:\u003c\/b\u003e Kit includes both upper and lower taper bearing cups, cones, and necessary seals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDrop-In Replacement:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision-fit for European chassis, ensuring no modifications are required during installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBroad Application:\u003c\/b\u003e Fits an extensive range of Beta, Gas Gas, Husqvarna, Husaberg, and KTM models from 1991 to 2025.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoto-House MX Pro Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper lubrication is the secret to steering stem longevity. When installing the Moose Offroad 22-1026 kit, use a high-quality waterproof grease and pack the bearings thoroughly by hand. Ensure the races are seated perfectly square in the frame head tube to prevent binding. After the first few hours of riding, we recommend re-checking the torque on your steering stem nut, as new bearings can \"settle\" slightly after their initial break-in period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMake Fitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eModel Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKTM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e125-690 SX\/SX-F\/EXC\/XC (1991-2025)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eRR\/RR-S\/X-Pro\/Xtrainer (2005-2025)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHusqvarna\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eTC\/FC\/TE\/FE\/701 (2014-2024)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGas Gas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eMC\/EC\/EX (2021-2024), ES\/SM 700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ) \u003cb\u003eDoes this kit include the dust seals?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA) Yes, this kit is designed to be comprehensive and includes both top and bottom seals to keep dirt and moisture out of your new bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ) \u003cb\u003eWhy choose tapered bearings over ball bearings?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA) Tapered bearings have a larger contact patch, allowing them to support heavier loads and resist the \"pitting\" that creates a notchy feeling in your steering over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"silo-links\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=KTM+Steering+Parts\"\u003eKTM Steering \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/a\u003e | \n  \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Beta+Maintenance\"\u003eBeta Maintenance Parts\u003c\/a\u003e | \n  \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Moose+Offroad+Bearings\"\u003eShop All Moose Offroad Bearings\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoto-House MX – Choice of Champions\u003c\/b\u003e – is located in Clermont\/Montverde, FL.
