Zealous Built-In Bearings

Description

Zealous's Description

Precision 8mm axle holes
.4045″ built in spacers
.5mm built in speedrings
Green rubber seals to keep dirt and debris on the outside of the bearing.
Lubed with Archoil Nanoceramic Grease
-The unique feature of our lubricant is how the nanoceramic compound fills in deformations or asperities in the bearing. These deformations cause friction and heat around them which hardens the nano-ceramic compound to that specific area. This micro coating is 5 times the hardness of the host alloy and has a molecular bond with the host metal, filling in all the asperities and eliminating friction over time.
-The coefficient of friction is the lowest in the field of Tribology at 0.003% creating a near frictionless surface. Mainly because the nanoceramic compound eliminates all asperities.
-Extremely low water washout
-Corrosion on the inside of the bearing is nearly eliminated.
Sold in sets of 8 bearings.

Fast and durable

By Tits McGee on 2019-09-15 Verified Purchase

They roll great. They keep water out well. They’re easy to use with the built-in spacers.

Best bearings for the money

By niemaya on 2019-06-24 Verified Purchase

I used to be a hardcore bones reds advocate, until I tried these bad boys... if you don't like cleaning bearings, then these are for you. I still have my original set that I bought 4 years ago, I haven't cleaned or lubed them once and they still roll just fine

My new go to bearings

By Cayden on 2019-06-22 Verified Purchase

Smooth, built-in spacers, 15 bucks. What more can you ask for?

Zealous Bearings

By tzapper57 on 2019-05-05 Verified Purchase

This was a purchase of two sets for my son’s two long boards. He did the replacement and took them for a spin, and when asked how they were, commented, “silent and fast”. I take it that means okay!

Zealous

Gains speed like no other bearing.

Amazing for the price!

By TrggrHppy616 on 2019-01-26 Verified Purchase

Great bearings! Still running strong 2 years later. Nothing crazy fast, but it cannot be beaten on the price point.

My go to bearings from now on

By [email protected] on 2019-01-23 Verified Purchase

They perform pretty well, from the ergonomics to performance. The best part is that they're pretty affordable. I'm still riding a set from a few years ago, along with the recently purchased ones and they hardly feel any different.

Smooth as silk

By Sean on 2019-01-13 Verified Purchase

I push and find get sup5ised at how long the board keeps rolling with these... Will definitely be buying these again. For the price, you can't beat it.

Speedy

By jess92 on 2019-01-05 Verified Purchase

The built in spacers and speed rings make swapping wheels a breeze. Also much quieter than reds.

By Boosie on 2019-01-02 Verified Purchase

I haven’t installed them yet but the packaging and the set is perfect and also came with stickers. I love it!

Cheap and Reliable

By Jonathan Lee on 2018-11-15 Verified Purchase

Been buying these bearings for ages now and they've absolutely never let me down! Somehow, even when abused to the worst treatment and never cleaned, they still manage to carry on rolling for me! I mean, of course, there's a limit, I've had many sets just rust and seize because I really just forget to clean and dry them out after a rain skate, but then they're so cheap I just grab another set!

great bearings

By Dean Nguyen on 2018-11-07

durable, fast, silent, cheap, built in. what else could you ask for?

The best

By GDF on 2018-10-13 Verified Purchase

Such smooth bearings, gives my wheels solid performance in slides.

By SungWoo Cho on 2018-09-21 Verified Purchase

Best bearings in the business

The Best!

By Seth Stiles on 2018-08-31 Verified Purchase

The best....that's all you got to say. Amazing pricing to.

Why would you buy something else?

By Daniel N on 2018-07-30 Verified Purchase

There is no downside to these. Affordable, plus they have built-in speed rings and washers. favorite longboard purchase in the last month. I'm exclusively buying Zealous from here on out. seriously, they're so cheap, I can just replace these whenever I want.

Magnificent product

By Deni1973 on 2018-02-17

Great product! Great buying! I have them together with seismic speed vents, all I can say is hold on! They just roll and keep rolling, will eventually purchase the ceramics but until then be in awe of the stainless, don’t hesitate!

By Brent Carrillo on 2017-12-18 Verified Purchase

They are the best bearings!!

High quality

By Matt on 2017-12-12

These bearings are better than reds. They are fast and you don’t need to take much care of them. It seems the more you use them the better they get. 👍

BETTER THAN REDS

By Will Logan on 2017-05-11

Hate to say it, but they are quieter, faster, and require less cleaning to keep that way than Bones Reds. With spacers built in you can't go wrong.

Fast

By HoffmanMark on 2016-12-24 Verified Purchase

Once they get a couple of break in runs they seem to run fast. I have had a couple of sets get a bit noisy, but overall great bearings for the price.

They're Great

By Daddyluff on 2016-12-24 Verified Purchase

Fantastic bearings, very durable. The inbuilt spacers seem a tiny fraction too long because my wheel seems to be able to shift side to side a bit on them. Even so they still feel great and were easy to install. i recommend them.

Quiet

By Patriot36 on 2016-12-23 Verified Purchase

They'll need about a 3-5 miles break-in to free wheel nicely but right out of the box they're ULTRA with great roll. I've spent a lot of money on ceramic bearings but for the money, these steel bearings are eye openers. I couldn't be happier with them for what I spent.

Better than Bones

By Brandon8284 on 2016-12-06 Verified Purchase

I have ridden bones bearing all my life. And the bone redz ceramic go just as fast as these, but cost 7 times more. For quality and price, these are the best. And you have fewer parts for easier use. Built in speedrings and spacers are amazing.

By MSK on 2016-09-30 Verified Purchase

Zealous is the best bearing out there I wish they were around back in the late 80's when I started skating. It would be awesome if they made a 6 ball version.

By Santacruz on 2016-09-15 Verified Purchase

i'm so glad i bought these bearings :) i've been using bones reds since i first started longboarding 5 years ago, and i don't regret it one bit! :D these bearings took a while longer than bones reds to break in but once they did, they were awesome! :D these are the best bearings for your money for sure. -lothiee

Yeah They're Good

By Justin Rose on 2016-09-09 Verified Purchase

My bones Reds got all whacky and these had 55 reviews, pretty much all positive, so I bought them. If you think this deal is too good to be true, it's not. Buy these bearings, you won't regret it--they're $14 for crying out loud.

Awesome!

By Capncrunchie on 2016-08-26 Verified Purchase

These have been replacing all my bones red. So much easier to just pop these in and make swapping wheels a breeze, not like it was a hassle before. But instead of dealing with separate speed rings and bearing spacers, it's all there.

By Jovis Vang on 2016-08-19 Verified Purchase

You get more than what you pay for.

Best bearings out there

By tpuggles on 2016-08-06

My go-to bearing choice. They always ride smooth no matter how long you have them. Mine work good as new even after putting them to good use for about 6 months. Super fast and built-in spacers make setting up your board way fast. Would recommend for anyone.

Buy These Immediately...

By Random Hero on 2016-07-25 Verified Purchase

There is no reason to buy any other steel bearing, and no reason not to upgrade crappy stock bearings to these. Best steel bearings on the market. At this price you just can't go wrong.

Zealous on my Icarus

By skydog on 2016-07-18 Verified Purchase

My second set of Zealous. Less parts, less things that can go wrong. What's not to like? They're rolling as good as my Oust Moc 9's. Soon all bearings will have built-in spacers.

The real deal

By J Smith on 2016-07-12 Verified Purchase

These bearings crazy fast took them on a hill I never felt so good .

Slower than Reds

By blargh on 2016-06-25 Verified Purchase

Disappointing. As for bearings with built in spacers, I prefer the RAD bearings, which are also slower than Reds.

You won't regret it.

By Kellie on 2016-06-12 Verified Purchase

Gotta go fast! Easy to install and last forever.

By Harper on 2016-06-07 Verified Purchase

11/10

Incredible

By Evan Schwenk on 2016-06-05 Verified Purchase

Literally the only bearings you need to buy, and great price too.

Perfect Bearings

By Drew on 2016-06-05 Verified Purchase

These are my favorite bearings I've ever used. They'll feel a bit tight at first but after you ride for a couple hours they really let you roll better than any other set I've used. Definitely recommend!

By Austin B. on 2016-06-02

Simply the best I've used.

Get Zealous or be Jealous

By N8 on 2016-06-01 Verified Purchase

My friends and I have tried many other built-in bearings in the past but Zealous bearings are the only one that actually lasts. Rolls fast, smooth and quiet. Best bearings on the market, for the price, HANDS DOWN!!

Great bearings

By David Morales on 2016-05-30 Verified Purchase

Fast bearings and easy to install.

Perfect

By Slideeze on 2016-05-14

These bearings are great for the price. With these new bearings i have to put stuff under my wheels or else it rolls out my completely flat garage to the end of my completely flat driveway. I love these bearings i would reccommend these to everyone my friend got them and tells me they just wont stop spinning

Smooth Cruisin

By Brian sebern on 2016-05-12 Verified Purchase

Put these in some 63mm fatty hawgs for cruising and pool jams. Killer for the price . Good quality . Sealed well and have minimal play, sits well . Buy em !

By uninvited_13th on 2016-05-12 Verified Purchase

Not only was my package bearhugged, they drew a yeti on my package like I asked. Hella dope. Oh, the bearings are dope too. Can't wait to see how they hold. I've pushed them really hard already in the first week and they're still clean and silent.

Amazing

By Kobe Robles on 2016-05-09

First off the beating your friends and making them jealous is completely true! These bearings are super fast and amazing for freeriding also. Highly recommend.

So far, so good:)

By Justin on 2016-05-04 Verified Purchase

I currently have 9 different set-ups with 3 of them getting heavier use. I have been pretty satisfied with the Rush Ceramics on my go-to set-ups but enjoy trying out different items as often as I can afford. I can't help but notice all of the great reviews these Zealous bearings get every time I'm scrolling through the bearing options and have not committed to trying them until now. I recently purchased a set and installed them in a new set of wheels on my #1 go-to set-up. I have only had a couple of sessions on them but I am pleased with them thus far. They seem to roll smooth and quiet. I am looking forward to seeing how they hold up over time. In my opinion thus far, this could be the ideal bearing choice for most riders given its initial ride/feel and obviously its low price point:)

Best all around bearings

By iampete24 on 2016-05-03 Verified Purchase

No matter if you are cruising, freeriding, downhilling, or just dancing around, these bearings will keep you going for a long time.

By Patrick on 2016-04-24 Verified Purchase

I love these bearings! They are smooth and silent, the fact that they're built-ins make them perfect.

Favorite bearings

By Andrew Bale on 2016-04-21 Verified Purchase

No other bearings have lasted me as long as these ones have. I recently built a new board and absolutely had to have zealous bearings. They will go on every board I ever build here on out.

WHAATTT

By Dill pickle on 2016-04-20

IV rode my set for over 2 years now. Going on 3. Road in rain a few times. Been through hell and back 49 times and still running strong. Get Zealous. You won't regret

Best Bang for your Buck!

By Isaac on 2016-04-15 Verified Purchase

Zealous bearings can take a beating and keep going forever. I have ridden many sets of Zealous built-ins and they have been through water and some really gross road grime more times than I can count. Even nasty damp parking garages are no match for Zealous bearings. The shields and the lube are so good a light wipe with a cloth is all you need to keep them going for a very long time. When stacked against other bearings on much higher price levels, the Zealous have my vote every time.

The best bearings!!

By Sam Rooney on 2016-04-14 Verified Purchase

Affordable and durable!

Dank as heck

By Troy on 2016-03-25

I've ridden reds and tons of other bearings and I can say that zealous are better than all the others, they only get better with time as they break in, 11/10 buy now my dudes.

Way better than what they're selling for!

By Tracy Best on 2016-03-14 Verified Purchase

There are ceramic bearings that you can get for almost five time the cost of these, and they may roll better, but these are absolutely fantastic! I rode my longboard, and then my friend's, and his felt so slow! They come in a tube all greased up for you, and the built-in spacers are fantastic to have. I have these bearings with 180mm Atlas Ultralight Trucks, and Abec 11 Bigzigs wheels. These are a match made in Heaven, and I've never ridden on a board smoother than mine! All the things listed above ad up, but it's worth it to spend your money on amazing products you'll enjoy rather than cheap ones that will never do your board justice.

Favorite bearings yet

By Jordan Alan on 2016-03-10 Verified Purchase

I'd recommend these bearings to anyone, any skater, any day. Not having to deal with spacers or speed rings is huge for me. They took about 5 miles to break in, about half an hour of fast cruising. They feel faster and spin longer every day. The quality is high and the price is low. Doesn't get any better!

By Jake Nemitz on 2016-03-05 Verified Purchase

They held up pretty good just don't use them when is wet out, Raven if a little wet out because they will just get shot like that.

Don't buy ceramics. Buy these..

By Emery Thompson on 2016-03-04

I've skated these bearings and only these for years. Not one problem. Make the decision and buy your last set of bearings here.

Cheap, yet effective.

By Beach! on 2016-02-27 Verified Purchase

Currently using these trucks on two setups, and so far so good. As most reviews state, they may feel like they start kind of slow, but after a few hours of riding you start to feel comfortable. Build-in supports, universal color (sort of), smooth riding; make for an all around bearring useful to any setup. Buy an extra pair just to have em' incase a friend shows up. They'll love you! Heh

Best bearings in the market.

By Nick Menor on 2016-02-18 Verified Purchase

These will be the only bearings I will ever buy. Durable and fast.

Buy them, I mean seriously

$30 bearing for only 12 bucks

By [email protected] on 2016-01-14 Verified Purchase

It is plain and simply the best bearing for the price. Ultra smooth and silent roll. I can't wait to try their ceramics.

Great bearings!

By Doug R. Evans on 2016-01-14 Verified Purchase

A bit tight on first arrival, but sweet buttery roll once broken in.

Best on the market

By Jay Cremer on 2016-01-14 Verified Purchase

At first, you'll feel like they don't work so well because they don't spin a lot. That's just because all the lube inside needs to thin out more. The built in spacers and double shields make these things king of rain boarding! That doesn't mean you dont have to wash them every now and then though.

Solid

By strifecta on 2016-01-10 Verified Purchase

Definitely require a little "break in" period but these things are crazy smooth

By Ayy lmao on 2015-12-26 Verified Purchase

These bearings got a great feel on the road, takes a little while to break them in, but they do great once you ridden them a while.

Great bearings for a great price

By MiaGotGrip on 2015-12-22 Verified Purchase

I literally just bought 4 sets of these bearings because of how amazing they are. I feel they needed a little breaking in but after that, they are great! Gotta love the spacer and speed rings as well. Less hassle and more money saved.

Terrific Bearings

By Markage on 2015-11-30 Verified Purchase

Was a little skeptical based on this price point, including speed rings and spacers, but these bearings are fast. Really fast.

Gold Standard

By Skatesamurai on 2015-11-08 Verified Purchase

Only bearings you will ever need I have 8 sets and they are all years old in perfect condition. One and only bearing you need. If you don't have them get some. If you need bearing with no questions asked here it is. No more shopping needed.

By Rayne Dance on 2015-10-25 Verified Purchase

Always ride zealous, they're cheap and they work amazingly

That shit you need

Very quick and accurate.

OH MY GOD IM SO ZEALOUS FOR THESE BEARINGS

By Leighton on 2015-10-10 Verified Purchase

THESE ARE THE MOST MAJESTIC BEARINGS IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORIES! THEY'RE THIRTEEN DOLLARS!, WATER RESISTENT-ISH-SORT-OF (spin once per 24 hours after contact to avoid rust.), SELF REPEAIRING (HOLY COW), AND THEY'RE FREAKIN GREEN DID I MENTION THEY'RE THIRTEEN DOLLARS?!?

pretty good bearings

By jayreed on 2015-10-01 Verified Purchase

solid bearings for the price

the best bearings

By Miles Licht on 2015-09-15 Verified Purchase

I have these bearings on both my boards, and they are fantastic. They take quite a while to break in, but once they do they greatly out preform bone reds with spacers, and were a great price for what you get. the thicker fluid, keeps the bearings running well, even if they get wet, and they seem to last a very long time. Great purchase

Best bearings for the price

By Joseph Robinson on 2015-08-29 Verified Purchase

This is my fourth set of zealous in the last two years, and the only reason I have so many is for my different setups! I change wheels a lot, and these just make that process simpler. plus, they're quiet, smooth, precise and will last forever, even if you get 'em a little wet.

Smoothies....

By steelwheelz on 2015-08-27 Verified Purchase

Major difference felt almost immediately...the Abecs were cooked and these provided a major upgrade, better build and tolerances..fast delivery too..thanks boys

Zealous

By _rritter_ on 2015-08-27 Verified Purchase

once you ride them for a while they roll nice and smooth, no noise

Best bearings you can buy!!

By McKay on 2015-08-21

I've had these bearings close to a year maybe even two and I'm now buying my second pair and a pair for my buddy. I've never had a problem with them! They run smoothly! A little slow at the beginning but that's due to there special lubricant that they have. I would challenge friends to see how far they can get off a single push and I would go on forever and they would be way behind me. Totally worth your money!

Don't miss the Zealous train

By Shay on 2015-06-15 Verified Purchase

These are the first and only set of bearings I have used. Zealous Built-In bearings are the way to go as far as I'm concerned. Just pop them on and go. They do seem to need a short break-in, but they get faster everyday. Get some!

By beejie21 on 2015-04-21 Verified Purchase

Absolutely phenomenal bearings. On top of the great performance and price, the built-in speedrings and spacers save you from spending money on extra hardware that you don't need.

Best bearings on the market.

By Sam Pridmore on 2015-03-29 Verified Purchase

Quieter than Reds, faster than Reds, smoother than Reds, and cheaper than Reds! Absolutely fantastic bearing, and significantly better than Reds, if you didn't quite get that. Also, they are very long lasting.

Best Bearing Out There

By Nomer on 2015-01-08 Verified Purchase

Zealous are the bomb! They are my go to bearings and have been for a long time because they are fast, durable, and smooth.
