Importance of bearings

Today, I would like to talk about the importance of bearings .

Many people who are building a skateboard for the first time neglect the grade of bearings. Although it is a hidden part that cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is actually the part that should be considered the most important .

Because,

Skateboarding is powered by humans

Bearings can transmit the power pushed by humans. The grade of the bearing determines 80% of the driving performance , `` how well the car runs .''

In addition to just running, bearings create smoother movement when ollieing.

Among the bearings that control the power, what is said to be the most used bearing in the world?The answer is `` BONES SWISS .''

Why do skaters around the world use BONES SWISS?

Honestly, the price is high...

However, in addition to the above-mentioned ``drivability'', BONES SWISS also boasts extraordinary ``durability''. Especially when practicing tricks and curves, the large impact and pressure caused by landings and drives can damage the bearings.

Bearings that are specialized only for rotational performance cannot withstand such loads and will quickly break.

That's why it's a "bearing designed for skateboards." Some bearing brands, including BONES BEARINGS, do not include the "ABEC value", which represents the accuracy of bearings, in industrial standards.

This is because the structure is not only designed for rotational performance as stipulated by industrial standards, but is also stronger and more durable. (Although you should be careful as there are some inexpensive products that purposely hide the ABEC value.)

This durability refers to the lifespan of the bearing.

In other words, is it better to replace inexpensive bearings several times a year, or is it better to use BONES SWISS, which can last a long time and enjoy overwhelming driving performance over that period?

And BONES SWISS is not a ``disposable'' bearing like cheaper bearings, but a bearing that can be ``grown'' while being maintained.

Look at the rotation of SWISS, which I have been using for a year.

The amazing thing about BONES SWISS is that it maintains this rotational power even after one year of use.
