FKD Swiss Bearings

Swiss bearings are manufactured to tighter tolerances and higher precision standards than standard bearings. This results in less internal friction, which allows for a faster, smoother roll and better durability under the stress of skateboarding.

The Armor Shield is designed to keep dirt, dust, and debris out of the internal components. By minimizing contamination, it helps the bearings maintain their speed and performance for longer periods between cleanings.

These are built for high-performance riding in any environment. The stainless steel construction and honed races make them durable enough to handle the impact of street skating while maintaining the precision needed for smooth park riding.

While they will feel smooth right out of the box, high-precision bearings like these often perform even better after a short break-in period. Riding them for a few sessions allows the lubricant to distribute evenly and the internal components to seat perfectly.

While the stainless steel material offers better corrosion resistance than standard steel, it is best to avoid riding in wet conditions. Moisture can still compromise the lubricant and lead to rust, which will degrade the performance of any bearing.
