Blank ( ABEC 1 )

Advantages:

Price is cheap, so it is no biggy if they break.

Disadvantages:

Slower than most bearings

Comments:

I dont mind these bearings that much, that are a all around good bearing, not as fast as most, but still good.

They were slower then most bearing, in other words they suck big! Reveiw by Steve Tennant.

Black Panther

Super smooth ride. Faster and lasts longer than blank ABEC 3 bearings.

Disadvantages:

When cleaning , you cant get to the balls of the bearing, which makes a it hard to clean the bearing really well.

Comments:

These are the smoothest bearing I have ever rode. They are really good. Mine lasted 7 months.During the time I had them I enjoyed them!


Bones (Swiss)

Advantages:

Smooth ride and the fastest bearings out there!!.

Disadvantages:

Very expensive!!! The gold ones dont have removeable sheilds but the new black ones do.

Comments:

Never had them because they are too expensive and I could buy a new deck for the price of them! I have gotten a chance to try them on my friend's board and they where FAST!! Fastest bearing I have ever rode!

The removeable shield indents into the bearing and slows it down

Pig(ABEC 3)

These bearings are really good, easy to clean, little bit faster than Luckys. Review by: Neil Cambell.


Reflex(ABEC 5)

Advantages:

Smooth, fast

Disadvantages:

The shield is not removable, so cleaning is not an opion, which makes them last not that long.

Comments:

From what I hear from people at skate parks is that these bearings suck big, I think the main reason is cause the shield is not removeable and they die fast.



Smokeys(ABEC 3)

Advantages:

Very smooth when new

Disadvantages:

The shield is not removable, so cleaning is not an opion, which makes them last not that long.

Comments:

These are okay bearings they were fast and smooth when I first go them, but they died out too fast. I know some one who has had them for about 2 years!!! That is just crazy!

These bearings are fast and lasted long. Review by Ryan Rogers.



Speed Demons

Advantages:

Fast, smooth, cool clear shields and last long.

Disadvantages:

None right now.

Comments:

These bearings where fast and smooth, when I first got them. I did not clean them so they did not last that long, but if I did they would. Review by Evan.

I bought the same set as Evan (clear blue shields) because it said on the back that "the shields will never bend of deform". Well guess what happened after a week!? The shields popped out! They where fast and rode pretty smooth, but the shield thing is stopping me from buying another set.



Quickies(ABEC 1)

Advantages:

Very smooth when new, removeable shields!

Disadvantages:

Not that fast , dont last that long.

Comments:

These are okay bearings they were fast and smooth when I first go them, but thier shields popped off and died fast. Review by Jay Petit.
