Penny board & cruiser board bearings

Penny board & cruiser skateboard bearings

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

No need to overspend

Unlike downhill and freeride activities, spending excessively on penny board bearings or cruiser board bearings is unnecessary. Although bearings matter, if you don't aim to achieve high speeds, it's wiser to invest in upgrading your wheels or trucks.

This doesn't mean that your penny board bearings or cruiser skateboard bearings should not remain in excellent condition. Keep them clean by avoiding exposure to dirt, water, and gravel.
