Xray XB808 Alu Steering Blocks

Xray XB808 Alu Steering Blocks

Xray have announced the release of these new steering blocks for the XB808, which have been CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium, and then hard coated for extra durability and long life. Ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. Smart Xray engineering includes use of composite bushings to secure ball-bearings in both sides of the steering block, allowing perfect fitting and smooth operation to ultimately impart much higher lifetime compared to bearings installed directly into aluminium steering blocks.

Xray XB808 Clutch Bells

Xray XB808 Clutch Bells

Xray have released a new range of clutch bells for the XB808, manufactured on a precision manual gear machine from Hudy gear steel, a material specially formulated and developed for use in gears. Heat treated for highest strength, minimal wear and extra-long lifespan, the XB808 clutch bell features unique oversized ball-bearings designed and engineered by Xray. Replacing the standard 5×10 bearings with 1.3mm balls, the oversized 808 clutch bearings are 5×12 with 2.0mm balls and extra-thick bearing walls. This translates to higher load-carrying capabilities which will increase the life of the bearings and reduce the risk of clutch bearing failure during long final runs. The bearings come with special high-temperature resistant grease to ensure proper lubrication during high-revving engine operations and long runs. Available in sizes of 15T, 16T, 17T and 18T.
