HOT RODS - Connecting Rod Needle Bearing Cage (ref. WB117)
Reliable replacement for the connecting rod, this HOT RODS needle bearing cage features exact dimensions of 18 x 22 x 19.65 mm (Inner Ø 18 mm, Outer Ø 22 mm, Width 19.65 mm). Designed to withstand the stresses of the crankshaft and ensure the smooth operation of the needles in the crankpin, it is suitable for both off-road and road use (quad, motocross, roadster).
Compatible with many two-stroke and four-stroke connecting rods; particularly noted for recent 300 cc models. Common application examples include: KTM 300 XC-W HARD ENDURO (2026), BETA XTRAINER 300 2T (2026), HUSQVARNA TE 300 PRO (2025). Before installation, check the crankpin and perform a radial play check. Installation requires disassembly of the engine bottom and appropriate tools; consult a professional if necessary.
A useful part to restore a clean bearing, limit abnormal play, and bring the connecting rod back to correct specifications without makeshift solutions. Delivered alone: check the cleaning and lubrication of the needles before installation.
