Up until 1982, these models had Swiss bearings which were really long lasting and smooth but now they have lower quality bearings.Spool Hi-Speed Bearings has the remedy. We offer four choices of this popular spool kit. The tried and true SS Ceramic, XS Ceramic with SS seals, XP Hyper Performance low tolerance and low noise and finally the all new PEEK retainer system with S30 ceramic balls and highest rated bearings available for ABU Ambassadeurs, the XCR Ultra!
