ABEC 9 bearings for skateboards are widely considered among the majority of skateboarders as the best skateboard bearings on the market. Contrary to popular belief, this is not always true. ABEC 9 bearings may be some skateboarders' dream come true, but how many actually know what ABEC 9 skateboard bearings actually are?

   Even though ABEC 9 bearings definitely have their fair share of advantages, they do have a few negatives as well. In this article we are going to discuss everything you need to know about ABEC 9 skateboard bearings, including what they actually are and what sets them apart from others, where to buy them, the trusted brands that make them, and of course the almighty pros and cons list.

   What are ABEC 9 Skateboard Bearings?

   Most skateboarders are probably already aware that ABEC 9 bearings are the fastest and smoothest that money can buy (aside from ceramics), but what makes them so different than others? Skateboard bearings are rated on the ABEC scale from 1 to 9 using only odd numbers and are ranked by how smooth they are and how much friction they produce. ABEC 3 bearings and ABEC 5 bearings are usually standard for any complete skateboard that you buy, with ABEC 7 bearings as well as ABEC 9s being upgrades. The higher the ABEC rating, the less friction is involved in the skateboard bearing's rotation, thus making wheels spin more freely with very little drag to slow them down.
