Bearings Australia | Roller Skate & Inline Bearings
Bearings are the hidden performance upgrade most skaters overlook. They sit inside your wheels and determine how fast and how smoothly those wheels spin. Quality bearings mean a faster, quieter, lower-maintenance skate. Cheap or worn-out bearings mean sluggish roll, noise, and unnecessary effort every time you push.
ABEC Ratings Explained
ABEC ratings (5, 7, 9) measure manufacturing precision. Higher numbers indicate tighter tolerances, which generally means smoother and faster roll. Most quality skate bearings are rated ABEC 7 or above. For skating purposes, ABEC 7 is the sweet spot — fast, durable, and not overkill for most skaters.
Bones Reds
Bones Reds are the industry benchmark entry-level performance bearing. Fast, reliable, and durable — they're what most skaters run when they upgrade from the stock bearings their skates came with. Bones Reds are the most popular bearing upgrade in roller skating and skateboarding worldwide.
Bones Swiss
Bones Swiss are the premium option — hand-built precision bearings that roll noticeably faster than Reds and last significantly longer when properly maintained. If you skate regularly and want the best possible roll, Swiss are worth the investment.
Bearing Maintenance
Bearings last longer when kept clean and dry. Avoid skating through water where possible. Clean periodically with a bearing cleaner, re-lubricate with a light skate oil, and they'll perform well for much longer. A bearing cleaning kit is a worthwhile buy alongside any new bearings.
