Except for the price, these make literally everything about normal bearings better. Easier to clean. Faster when changing wheels. Faster on the board. Incredibly tough: I've got a set that have dented shields and have gotten rusty twice, and they still roll like a champ. No other bearing I've used has performed better for skateboarding.

These are pretty sweet. The built in spacers and washers are really convenient and make swapping wheels a breeze. If they used rubber shields I'd be all over these. They're nice but imo not worth the extra cash.

These bearing are very convientent with the built in spacer and they spin well.

Super easy to clean. With a little bones speed cream and some breaking in, they can get just as fast or very close to high end ceramics. The 2-part spacer works awesome and they don't rattle like to other bearing/spacers I have used. Go-to bearings for DH, slide, carving, dancing, or any other riding you choose to shred. Fully worth the extra 5-10$

These are one of the only kinds of bearings that I'll buy. They're more expensive than cheaper bearings, but they'll last so much longer. They're very fast, but maybe a tad slower than some other more expensive bearings on the market. As far as maintenance goes, they're extremely easy to clean, further extending their life.
