Bikone Dual Cup Technology
Bikone’s DCTech system uses two precisely machined aluminium cups designed to align the bearings on both sides of the bottom bracket shell. This helps create a stronger, more stable crank interface and reduces the small movements that often cause bottom bracket creaking.
Key benefits include:
- Smoother crank rotation
- Reduced clicking and creaking
- Better bearing alignment
- Improved power transfer under load
- More consistent pedalling feel
- Longer bearing life when installed and maintained correctly
ITA Threaded Fitment
Italian-threaded bottom brackets are commonly found on premium road frames, classic Italian bikes and selected custom road builds. A quality ITA bottom bracket gives these bikes a secure and serviceable crank interface while preserving traditional threaded reliability.
BB30 / 30mm Crank Compatibility
This model is built for BB30-style 30mm crank spindles, giving riders the stiffness and direct power-transfer feel associated with larger spindle crank systems.
Steel Bearing Option
The steel bearing version is ideal for riders wanting reliable everyday performance and strong value.
Best suited for:
- Regular road riding
- High-mileage training
- Commuting
- Wet-weather riding
- Riders prioritising durability and service life
Hybrid Ceramic Bearing Option
The ceramic version is built for riders chasing a smoother, lower-friction drivetrain feel.
Best suited for:
- Road racing
- Fast bunch rides
- Criterium racing
- Premium lightweight builds
- Riders chasing marginal drivetrain gains
7075-T6 Aluminium Cups
The cups are made from high-strength 7075 aluminium with T6 treatment. This material is used because it offers excellent stiffness, durability and machining precision, helping the bottom bracket maintain alignment under pedalling load.
Fully Sealed Protection
The sealed bearing system helps protect against sweat, dust, grit, road spray and moisture. This is especially useful in Queensland conditions where bikes often face humidity, summer rain, dusty roads and rough chip-seal surfaces.
