After a long time researching bearings I decided to give Bronson Speed Co.’s G3 Bearing a try. Bronson Speed Co. totally seems to be interested in producing performance bearings dedicated to skaters. Their use in inline’s has not really been mentioned anywhere so I decided to give them a try. At $120 for a set of 16 they are certainly not the cheapest, yet definitely not the most expensive.

Features:

• 608 type for 8mm Axles.
• Twin removable dirt shields coloured Orange. They look great too.
• Polymer removable bearing cage for easy disassembly and cleaning.
• 7-ball design
• Deep Races for strength.
• Micro-grooves along the races to reduce drag caused by standing waves caused by redistribution of lubricant. (This feature is very progressive and unique to the Bronson Bearings.)
• They come completely sealed in plastic and so will not degrade in storage until needed.
• Come in a handy storage tin. (Not really necessary, but a nice touch all the same)
• Very quiet.

Whilst free-spin perfomance is not a good indicator of performance under load, they certainly spin as freely as many of the ILQ-9 6-ball bearings I have tried.

Whilst the performance difference between bearings for slalom may not necessarily be noticed. These bearings tick a lot of boxes. I’d definitely buy again.
