Longboard & Skate Bearings ABEC 11 TAITAN

ABEC 11 TAITAN longboard and skate bearings: maximum precision

These ABEC 11 TAITAN longboard and skate bearings are a pack of 8 high-quality bearings, suitable for longboards, skateboards, roller skates or scooters.

You can use them in any situation: downhill, freeride, freestyle, cruising… They are tough as well as very fast. They come in their metal tin with spacers for the axles. The washers reduce friction between the bearing and the axle and its nut, giving more speed and less heat. Bearing spacers are the steel tubes that keep the 2 bearings in the wheel compact together with the axle for optimal performance.

These are titanium bearings, better than chrome ones. They have a 2 mm retainer to keep momentum and speed going for as long as possible. They have a rubber shield that makes them resistant to water and sand, although it is best to avoid both for greater efficiency.

They have a very low friction coefficient. In terms of thermal properties, they are better than ordinary steel balls (these are titanium), which generate much more heat at high speeds.

Why choose titanium over chrome

Titanium is lighter than chrome steel and keeps its properties better at high temperatures, something you especially notice in long downhill or freeride sessions, where the bearing works continuously at high speed. It is an upgrade designed for riders who have already reached the limits of entry-level bearings and want that extra performance.

As a pack of 8, you get exactly what you need for the 4 wheels of your board in one purchase. It works well with both longboard and standard skateboard setups, so you don’t need to worry about compatibility with your current setup.
