Street, park and cruising describe different ways to skate, but a riding label alone cannot identify the right bearing. Wheel setup, surface, maintenance, fit and personal preference also shape the experience.

Start with the setup

Check that the bearings fit your wheels and that you have the right number for the wheel positions in your setup. Then compare features stated on the product page, such as pack count, shields, spacers and materials. Do not assume that a product is better for a particular discipline unless the listing gives evidence for that claim.

Ignore one-number shortcuts

An ABEC rating is a tolerance classification, not a complete score for speed or durability on a skateboard. A high number or premium material name does not guarantee a better result for every rider.

Choose with the information available
