This genuine Royal Alloy upper steering head bearing is designed as a high-quality tapered roller bearing, providing precise steering guidance, smooth operation, and excellent durability under load. It is standard equipment on Royal Alloy GP, GT, JPS, and TG models and is manufactured to OEM specifications for dimensions, material quality, and fit.
Tapered roller bearings are among the most proven bearing designs for motorcycle and scooter steering heads. Unlike conventional ball bearings, they are capable of supporting both radial and axial loads simultaneously. Their large contact surface distributes forces more evenly, reducing wear while improving steering precision and long-term durability. This makes tapered roller bearings particularly suitable for handling heavy braking forces, uneven road surfaces, and the continuous stresses of everyday riding.
The upper tapered roller bearing plays a key role in ensuring smooth, play-free steering movement. Correct bearing preload provides accurate steering response, improved directional stability, and consistent handling characteristics. During steering head maintenance, it is recommended to inspect both the upper and lower steering head bearings and replace them as a set if necessary.
As a genuine Royal Alloy spare part, this upper tapered roller bearing is manufactured according to the original OEM specifications. Precision machining ensures a precise fit and reliable, long-lasting performance within the steering head bearing assembly.
The genuine Royal Alloy upper tapered roller steering head bearing combines high load capacity, even force distribution, and long-lasting steering precision. Thanks to its OEM quality and precise fit, it is the ideal choice for maintenance, repair, or factory-correct restoration of Royal Alloy GP, GT, JPS, and TG models.
