What are the best longboard bearings and why are they important? They are the piece of gear which connects the wheel and allows it to turn smoothly.
They come in a variety of different materials including steel, titanium and ceramics. Of these, ceramic tend to be the most expensive.
Longboard bearings come on a rating scale called the ABEC scale, though this is not used by every manufacturer.
ABEC runs from 1-9 using odd numbers and generally, the higher the rating, the more precise tolerances they has been made to. Other companies rate more around bearing’s resistance and durability.
Another technique employed by riders is sometimes to add bearing spacers between the bearings and the wheels.
This means the axle nut can be tightened to eliminate wobbles and increasing the lifespan of them themselves.
Bones Swiss Ceramics (Box of 8)
Bones Swiss are amongst the premium longboard bearing ranges available. This range features precision-made Swiss design from a tried and tested brand which has been in the market for 25 years.
They are made from Cerbec ceramic balls which are light, strong and very hard for a long lasting performance while the nylon ball retainers work ideally with the Bones Speed Cream lubricant for a perfect ride.
Bones do not adhere to the ABEC ratings system for them, instead use their own system which states the product is ‘Skate Rated’ and also comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
