Boca Bearings sells three different styles of longboard bearings that can vary in precision and price. A standard all steel bearing is the most economical and the most comparable to the bearings that come stock in typical longboards. Ceramic hybrids are a great upgrade for anyone looking to achieve less rolling resistance at an affordable price. Ceramic hybrid bearings have steel races and ceramic balls.

Ceramic is non-porous, unlike steel, so it is a glass like surface with minimal friction. Full ceramic bearings have ceramic races and balls. These are ideal for pro-riders or anyone seeking as little rolling resistance as possible with a traditional radial style bearing. The ceramic on ceramic construction results in a bearing that offers almost no rolling resistance. (More Longboarding Articles)
