At Surfdevils, we offer you a selection of ABEC, ceramic, Swiss and Skate-Rated bearings, from top brands such as Bones, Spitfire and Bronson.

Why are skateboard bearings important?

Without skateboard bearings, your wheels would not spin properly, forcing you to constantly push. The bearings allow greater speed and smoothness in your movements, improving your skateboarding experience.

Types of Skate Bearings: Which one do you need?

ABEC Bearings

Bearings are classified using the ABEC scale, which measures precision and efficiency. For skateboarding, ABEC 3 to 9 are common options.

Ceramic Bearings

Lighter and more resistant to oxidation, ceramic bearings offer lower friction and superior performance.

Swiss and Skate-Rated Bearings

Swiss Bearings like those from Bones offer high quality materials and durability. Skate-Rated are designed specifically for skateboarding.

How to Choose the Best Skate Bearings?

  • Street and tricks: ABEC 3 or 5 for greater resistance.
  • Ramp and bowl: ABEC 7 or Skate-Rated for speed and durability.
  • Longboard: ABEC 9 or ceramics for maximum fluidity.

Maintenance and Cleaning of Skate Bearings

  1. Remove the bearings and clean the protective shields.
  2. Use a degreaser such as acetone or brake cleaner.
  3. Dry well and apply specific lubricant.
  4. Reinstall the bearings in the wheels.
