Roller Hockey Bearings

Experience the Smoothest Rolls with Roller Hockey Bearings

While they may be a minor component of your hockey boots, a quality set of inline hockey bearings can significantly enhance your performance. Each wheel houses two bearings, which facilitate the rotation of your wheels. Bearings are typically constructed from steel or ceramics, and you have the option of selecting between open or sealed varieties. For further information on different bearing designs, explore our Buying Bearings guide.

Many roller hockey players opt for a wheel configuration featuring varying wheel sizes. If this is your preference, there's no need for concern. Most bearings come in a standard size, known as 608, and are compatible with both inline and roller skates.

Understanding the ABEC Rating System

When choosing a bearing, be mindful of its ABEC rating. This rating indicates the bearing's precision, essentially how smoothly it will roll. The scale ranges from 1 to 9, with higher numbers signifying greater precision. However, it's worth noting that not all bearings are rated on the ABEC scale, so the top roller hockey bearings aren't necessarily those with the highest ABEC rating.

Common enquiries about roller hockey bearings include methods for removing bearings from wheels and cleaning them. Our Bearing Cleaning video and manual will guide you through the process to ensure your bearings are in prime condition. If after cleaning, you feel that the performance could be improved, it might be the right moment to invest in new Roller Hockey Wheels.
