Due to the extremely high loading experienced caused by modern street skateboarding, skateboard bearing development has increased over the past ten years. Now other bearing manufacturers in other industries, such as aerospace, automotive and machinery have learned a thing or two from the extreme skateboarder. As a professional skateboard bearings manufacturer, we have two major advantages compared to other industrial counterparts. First, our skateboard bearings price is lower since we are the producer and we hope to expand sales through low profits and quickly gain more market share. Second, we can customize according to customers` requirements, including printing the client`s logo on the bearing shield and making customized packaging and non-standard sizes etc. You can learn more about us through the following content.

The rationale behind this is to get some weight reduction in the wheel and bearings, while still having fairly low rolling resistance. Inside Diameter - 8 millimeters Outside Diameter - 16 millimeters Width (unsealed) - 4 millimeters Width (two shields) - 5 millimeters Typical Use - Extra light "microbearing" that is the standard bearing used in some of the newer fitness and speed skate wheels. The last standard skateboard bearings sizes: 698 Bearings with Inside Diameter - 8 millimeters, Outside Diameter - 19 millimeters and Width (unsealed) - 6 millimeters or Width (two shields) - millimeters Typical Use - Extra light "microbearing" that is the standard bearing used in some of the newer fitness and speed skate wheels.
