Skateboard Bearings

Choosing skateboard bearings.

At any of the Stoked Boardshops or on our online store you will find your favorite skateboard bearings at the best market price. Tune your choice of bearings according to your other components for the best results. Your choice of bearings greatly impacts your roller acceleration and speed. All bearings you can find in our shops are awesome in and of themselves. But as a general ruler, the higher the abec rating, the longer they will endure. Of course the higher quality will also impact the pricing.

Bearings characteristics.

Just like anything in life, your bearings wil have to endure some wear and tear. Luckily great quality bearings can be replaced easily. A skateboard always has a set of 2 bearings per wheel. The bearings are mounted onto your trucks. When buying a new set of wheels, you should pay attention to the hardness and size. Every bearing has a couple of bearing-balls, usually around 6 to 8. It is advice the clean them Regularly to ensure optimal wheel rotation. If you want them to run extra smooth, you could add in a drop or 2 of Speed cream/oil.

Different kind of bearings.

All specially created bearings have an Abec rating. This goes up from 1 to 9. 1 being the lowest and 9 being the highest rating. The higher the rating, the higher the precision, efficiency and speed of said bearings. Long story short, the higher the rating, the better. Not all bearings use this system. For example, Bones bearings have their own rating and are most skateboarders favorite choice. These Bones bearings were specifically created for skating and are tested on many levels, their testing is top notch. Because the Abec rating is just one of the ways they rate their products.
