Zealous Bearings for Longboards and Skateboards

Product Information

How faster are ceramic vs steel bearings? Not that much. Studies show it’s only faster by around 20 to 40 percent. The same can be said for ceramic bearings. Whilst they don’t need lubricant and aren’t affected by heat as much, they are overkill for skating. The bearings we use are also not fully ceramic. Completely ceramic bearings are too brittle for skating and could burst if you land too hard from an ollie, or hit a curb with your wheel. Ceramic skate bearings use ceramic balls with steel racers and nylon retainers. So they are still prone to rust and still need to be maintained. The bearings will also not have enough rpm to allow for the properties of the ceramic to shine.

There is hardly any speed difference, most skateboard bearings won’t make you go faster. What matters the most is the size and hardness of your wheels combined with the surface you ride. However, Loaded recently sent me some Jehu bearings to review and I am loving them. They are built-in bearings are really convenient to use. I don’t feel much of a performance difference, but I am still in the process of testing them. If you’re looking to skate fast, wheel choice matters most This micro coating is 5 times the hardness of the host alloy and has a molecular bond with the host metal, filling in all the asperities and eliminating friction over time. Ceramic bearings are partially waterproof, ceramic doesn’t rust but the metal cage will rust. Skateboard Bearings and Speed It is a finely engineered bearing that complies with the international ABEC standards for the bearings. These bearings come with accurate spherical balls designed to minimize friction to its maximum potential.

Heady Shake Pro bearings are engineered from heavy-duty titanium and they come with one-sided sealed rubber shields to perform much better than regular bearings or common replacements.

Trouble bearings for longboards and skateboards are the best tool to make your riding experience smooth and flawless. With the use of these high-quality bearings, you can have greater control over your board and better speed accuracy. The bearings are pre-lubricated with a high-quality substance, making them long-lasting and least resistant. Turns out, the grease is different from regular skateboard bearings. At first these bearings will feel a bit sluggish, but after a few days I felt a difference. I had to push less and rolled for a longer period of time. Pretty cool! If you look hard enough, you would also find some cheap Chinese bearings available too. So you basically have a lot of options and you need to decide which one is right for you.

Skateboard bearings have the following specifications:
