Abstract: A hub seal seals a gap between an outer race member and an inner race member of a hub bearing. The hub seal includes: an annular base; and a seal member attached to the base and including an annular elastic material. The seal member includes a side lip extending toward an outer side and an intermediate lip extending toward the outer side on an inner periphery side relative to the side lip.
