Product Details

Overview & Technology

RaceFace Team X-Type (Part #: BBXTTM, Prod #: 380408) is a purpose-built threaded bottom bracket engineered for 24mm X-Type and EXI crank spindles. The design pairs high-strength machined aluminum cups with precision sealed cartridge bearings and a custom retainer to deliver low friction, long life and predictable performance under real-world mountain use. Materials and construction: machined aluminum cups for stiffness and corrosion resistance, sealed cartridge bearings with RaceFace's custom retainer for aligned load distribution, and a compact profile that keeps chainline and Q-factor stable. At just 95 grams, this unit prioritizes weight savings without compromising durability.

Key Features & Benefits

Performance-focused features include a 24mm interface optimized for X-Type/EXI cranksets, sealed cartridge bearings to keep grit out and lubrication in, and precision-threaded British cups for rock-solid installation. The silver finish offers a clean look that pairs with most drivetrain components. • Lightweight: 95 g reduces rotating mass and helps keep overall bike weight low. • Sealed bearings: Cartridge seals protect against mud and water for longer maintenance intervals. • Durable construction: High-strength aluminum cups resist deformation and maintain stable chainline under heavy pedaling loads.

Fit & Compatibility

This RaceFace Team BB is designed for British (BSA) threaded bottom bracket shells with 68mm or 73mm widths. It interfaces with 24mm crank spindles and is explicitly intended for X-Type or EXI cranksets, but is also compatible with many Shimano and FSA external 24mm systems where a threaded cup solution is required. Before purchasing, confirm your frame uses a threaded BSA shell (68/73mm) and that your crank spindle measures 24mm. If your frame is press-fit (BB30, PF30, BB86/BB92) or your crank is 30mm, this unit will not be compatible without the appropriate adapters.

Who This Bottom Bracket Is For

This bottom bracket is aimed at mountain riders who run 24mm X-Type or EXI RaceFace cranks and want a lightweight, dependable threaded solution. It's an excellent choice for cross-country and trail riders chasing low weight and low drag plus the durability needed for muddy, mixed-terrain conditions. If you prioritize easy maintenance, proven sealed-bearings, and compatibility with Shimano/FSA 24mm external systems on a BSA frame, the RaceFace Team X-Type BB is a straightforward upgrade or replacement part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this RaceFace Team BB fit my bike frame?

This bottom bracket fits standard British (BSA) threaded shells in 68mm or 73mm widths. Check your frame specifications—if your shell is press-fit (BB30, PF30, BB86/92) or another standard, this threaded unit will not directly fit without adapters.

Is it compatible with Shimano 24mm cranks?

Yes—because it uses the 24mm interface, the RaceFace Team BB is compatible with many Shimano 24mm spindle cranksets as well as FSA external 24mm systems, assuming your frame has a BSA threaded shell. Always verify spindle and shell dimensions before installing.

How often should I service the bearings?

The sealed cartridge bearings are designed to be low-maintenance and resist contamination, but service interval depends on riding conditions. For muddy or wet use, check and service every 6–12 months; for dry, infrequent riders, annual checks are usually sufficient. Replace cartridges if you detect play or roughness.

Can I replace the bearings separately?

The unit uses sealed cartridge bearings that can be replaced if you have the correct bearing press and specifications. Replacing cartridges or the entire BB is a common service option—if you’re unsure, a shop can perform the swap to ensure correct fit and alignment.

How heavy is the RaceFace Team BB?

The RaceFace Team X-Type bottom bracket weighs approximately 95 grams, making it one of the lighter threaded solutions for 24mm cranks—helpful for riders prioritizing low rotating mass.

Do I need special tools to install it?

Installation requires standard bottom bracket tools for threaded cups and a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening to your frame manufacturer's spec. Using grease on threads and abiding by torque recommendations helps prevent creaks and ensures longevity.

Buying Guide

When choosing a bottom bracket, match three key things: shell type (threaded vs press-fit), shell width (68mm or 73mm), and crank spindle diameter (24mm vs 30mm). Opt for sealed cartridge units like the RaceFace Team for low maintenance and reliable performance in muddy or wet conditions. Consider weight, durability, and ease of servicing. Lightweight aluminum cups and sealed cartridges are a great balance for most mountain riders—offering stiffness, corrosion resistance and straightforward replacement when bearings wear out.
