Penny board & cruiser board bearings

Penny board & cruiser skateboard bearings

Bearings are essential for ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride on your cruiser or Penny board. Each wheel is equipped with two bearings. If you examine the side of your penny board or cruiser board bearings, you’ll notice a small ABEC followed by a number. This represents the international scale for bearing precision, ranging from Abec1 to Abec9. A higher number indicates greater precision.

No need to stretch your budget

For penny board and cruiser board bearings, there's no need to overspend unlike in downhill and freeride skating. While bearings are crucial, if speed isn’t your main goal, it's wiser to invest in enhancing your wheels or trucks instead.

This doesn't mean you should neglect the condition of your penny board or cruiser skateboard bearings. Protect them from dirt, water, and stones to keep them in top shape.
