SRAM GXP Team Bottom Bracket

Boasting sealed cartridge bearings with an eye-catching Tungsten finish, the SRAM GXP Team Bottom Bracket offers increased durability, smoothness and performance for a wide range of riding disciplines. This model also features Gutter Seal technology.

Gutter Seal Technology drastically improves sealing against the elements while reducing seal drag. SRAM also designed a fresh cup forging for a high-end look. The SRAM GXP team bottom bracket sets a new standard in external bearing performance.

GXP: Giga X Pipe External Bottom Bracket Bearing Assembly. While other systems rely on side loading the bearings to eliminate play, which causes premature bearing wear, the GXP system is different. The GXP system captures the left side bearing between the spindle and the left crank arm while allowing the drive-side bearing to float axially on the spindle, thereby eliminating the necessity to side-load bearings during adjustment. The simplicity of installation is refined: once it is tightened to the proper specifications you are ready to roll with a worry free BB. The GXP system uses two bicycle specific cartridge bearings and eight seals for a smooth and long-lasting ride.
