Low friction
- Energy efficiency: with less power losses in all rotating applications, more power is available to the wheel, therefore increasing vehicle performances
- Lower operating temperature: lower power losses means also less heat generated in mechanical assemblies, therefore reducing the need for lubrication and radiators, achieving in turn less friction and lighter vehicle systems.
