The quality of the bearings is indicated using the ABEC scale. This ranges from 1 to 9, where the number 9 represents the best bearing. The better the bearing, the less resistance it has. If you travel more often, we recommend selecting bearings with at least an ABEC 5 rating. Quality bearings should spin quietly and without jolting for a longer period of time than lower quality bearings.
