SKF Skateboard Bearings Ceramic
by
SKF
SKU: SKF827
Description
SKF Ceramic skateboard bearings are built for the skater who has already tried the good stuff and wants to know what's beyond it. They take SKF's precision engineering standard and apply it without compromise.
Silicon nitride ceramic balls are harder, smoother, and lighter than steel, which means less friction and less heat buildup under sustained load. They're paired with high quality industrial steel races, a glass fibre reinforced polyamide cage, low friction grease, and SKF's special low friction shield setup. Made in Italy.

FAQ
Are ceramic bearings worth it?
Ceramic balls are harder, smoother, and lighter than steel, so there's less friction and less heat buildup under load. SKF Ceramic is built for skaters who want what's beyond premium steel bearings.
What's the difference between SKF Ceramic and SKF Standard?
Both share the cage, grease, and shield setup. Ceramic uses silicon nitride ceramic balls instead of steel.
How many bearings come in a pack?
8 bearings, which is enough for all 4 wheels on one skateboard. Every wheel uses 2 bearings.
Do these come with spacers and speed washers?
No. Spacers and speed washers are sold separately.
