Wheel sports demand precision, durability, and maximum performance from the equipment used. Whether in skateboarding, biking, roller skating, or kart racing, choosing the right bearing can make all the difference in an athlete’s performance. VICAN Bearings develops high-performance bearings designed to deliver greater speed, durability, and precision, meeting the needs of even the most demanding athletes.
Why is choosing the right bearing essential?
Bearings are fundamental components for the performance of any wheel-based equipment. They reduce friction between moving parts, allowing for smoother and more efficient motion. Choosing the right model means improving speed, increasing durability, and ensuring more precise control during high-performance maneuvers and rides.
Bearings for Skateboards and Roller Skates
For skaters and rollerbladers, the choice of bearing directly impacts wheel roll smoothness. To enhance performance in these sports, VICAN offers bearings that provide:
-
Reduced friction – greater speed and less wear on parts.
-
High resistance – ideal for extreme tricks and constant impacts.
-
Superior durability – made from materials resistant to wear and oxidation.
-
Better control and smoothness – ensuring precise and effortless glides.
Athletes seeking both speed and strength should choose high-performance bearings such as ABEC 7 or higher, ensuring greater precision and smoothness. Additionally, ceramic hybrid bearings, with silicon nitride balls, are highly resistant to impact and reduce friction, enabling higher speeds. For skateboard bearings, sealed protection is recommended, preventing fluid entry and keeping internal lubrication for longer.
Bearings for Bicycles
In cycling, bearings are essential for efficient and comfortable pedaling. VICAN models provide:
-
Greater durability – resistance to wear, oxidation, and dirt ingress, ensuring top performance even on challenging trails.
-
Reduced friction – improves pedaling efficiency and prevents premature wear.
-
Precision and stability – offering better control of the bike, especially at high speeds.
VICAN’s ceramic and ceramic hybrid bearings have transformed bike performance, benefiting both mountain bikes and road bikes.
For mountain bikes, ceramic bearings minimize friction and resist impacts. Sealed protection is crucial here to block particles and preserve lubrication. They combine lightness and strength, ensuring smooth rotation on climbs and descents, with the safety needed for high speeds.
For road bikes, ceramic bearings are key for precision and efficiency, enabling cyclists to reach top speeds with less effort. Their lightness reduces fatigue over long distances.
Investing in 100% ceramic or ceramic hybrid bearings is an excellent choice for cyclists looking to enhance performance, providing smoother and more efficient rides.
Bearings for Karts
In kart racing, every detail affects final performance. VICAN bearings are designed to meet the demands of this sport, offering:
-
High load resistance – built to withstand race intensity and impacts.
-
Reduced friction and heat – ensuring greater efficiency, higher speeds, and longer part lifespan.
-
Superior performance – delivering greater precision and stability in turns.
For drivers aiming for maximum performance, VICAN recommends stainless steel structures with ceramic balls—premium materials that have repeatedly proven their track efficiency. Lightness and rotational power are key, reducing power loss and optimizing top speed.
How to choose the best bearing for wheel sports?
When selecting the ideal bearing for your sport, consider:
-
Material – hybrid or 100% ceramic bearings offer greater durability and lower friction.
-
Sealing – sealed models protect against fluid ingress and retain lubrication longer.
-
Precision – high-precision bearings improve performance, stability, and part lifespan.
-
Clearance – correct clearance reduces wear, minimizes vibration, and supports higher loads.
-
Purpose – speed-oriented bearings need minimal resistance, while impact-heavy sports require more robust options.
