A rolling bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and a plurality of rolling bodies between the rings. The outer ring includes a first and a second annular raceway, both formed on an inner lateral surface of the outer ring, and an axial shoulder extending in a radially inward direction and formed between the two raceways. The axial shoulder includes a first curvilinear portion formed by a first arc of a first circle with a first radius of curvature and a geometric center projected in a radially inward direction, and a second curvilinear portion formed by a second arc of a second circle comprising a second radius of curvature and a geometric center projected in a radially outward direction. The two curvilinear portions are flush connected to one another by an inflection point, the inflection point representing a tangent point of the first and second circles.
