Zealous Bearings Classic

A simple upgrade that makes a noticeable difference.

Zealous Classic bearings are the kind of longboard upgrade you install once and then stop thinking about. They're built around a snug 8mm axle fit, sealed to keep dirt and debris out, and packed with a long-lasting nanoceramic grease that gets smoother as it breaks in.

If your current bearings are noisy, rough or simply due for replacement, this is an easy way to freshen up the ride without changing your wheels or trucks.

Why we like them

• Snug 8mm axle fit: precision-machined inner rings help reduce unwanted slop.
• Sealed construction: rubber seals help keep dirt, debris and urethane dust out.
• Pre-lubricated: nanoceramic grease is designed for long-lasting performance.
• Good all-around choice: works for cruising, carving, commuting, freeride and general longboard setups.
• Low-maintenance: install them, give them some riding time to break in, and keep rolling.

One thing to know

New Zealous bearings may feel a little tight at first because of the grease. Give them a session or two and they should loosen up as the grease breaks in.
