Recently, I swapped out my old skateboard bearings for a set of Maxfind Pro's. Right out of the box, you notice the quality feel of the steel. They promise reduced friction and smoother rides, which is something I was skeptical about at first. However, after several rides, I found that there's definitely a noticeable improvement in speed and smoothness.Installation was a breeze—no trouble fitting them into my skateboard wheels. The dimensions and build quality made them compatible with my board without any issues. They seem to hold up well during use, showing no signs of premature wear or performance drop, even after a few weeks of regular skateboarding.While they perform well, they're priced higher than some other options, which might make you think twice if you're on a budget. Despite this, considering the performance boost, they might be worth the investment if you're serious about skateboarding.They are quieter than my previous bearings in terms of noise, which is a plus for anyone who prefers a less noisy ride. However, if you're looking for dramatic improvements or professional-level equipment, these might not meet all your expectations.For the casual to moderate skateboarder looking to upgrade from basic stock bearings, the Maxfind Pro Longboard Bearings are a reliable option that improves your ride without any complications.

These are very smooth high quality bearings with built in spacers.

I've only tried this style of bearing once before, Powell Race Reds, and I really like the concept for certain uses and those tend to be fairly pricey, more than I want for a spare pumptrack setup. For fast cruisers, downhill or pump track setups this integrated spacer inner race design lets you fully tighten the axle nuts and turn the 2 bearings into a single unit, reducing play and wiggle all without squishing the bearing into the wheel and preventing it from rolling. These are replacing a set of bad bearings in some very soft 77a cruiser wheels to help a used setup I bought become a competent pump track board. So far so good, I like that the extended inner race means you don't need speed rings since they are easy to lose and mine seem to have oil left in them from the factory so they must be pretty new as that tends to either evaporate or turn to goo in bearings that have been in a warehouse too long. So I'll run these without popping the shields to clean or lube and see how they break in, it's impossible to give more than a superficial review based on just install and a couple quick laps around the block as any bearing will handle that.

THE GOOD:-----------------* Very nice set of skateboard bearings.* You get 8 of them, and they arrive to you in a nice metal case with foam cut-outs.* 21mm OD, 10mm ID, and 7mm thickness, which is .83" x .39" x .28".* Vibrant protective red shields.THE BAD:--------------* Nothing so far. 5-Stars.

These aren’t the typical 608 bearings that I’m used to.For one, they are a little stiff in their rotating action. The weight of the wheel helps with that, but it doesn’t spin freely without continual pushing.Next, the shaft is longer than the ones I had. These shafts are also fixed into the bearings and are not interchangeable with shorter ones.Adding some lubrication helps, but these aren’t Zealous Bearings. YGWYPF, but these are good replacements for a while.

This set of Maxfind ABEC 9 skateboard bearings arrived in an attractive and sturdy metal case. The case was filled with foam cut to safely house the bearings. It's a nice presentation that ensures the bearings don't get damaged.I obtained these bearings for a custom board I'm putting together. So far I have the board, grip tape and bearings. I'm still deciding on trucks, wheels and lifts. There are so many options. The proof is in the pudding, so the final verdict will have to wait until it's complete and been used for some time, but these look nice and come from a company that appears to specialize in boarding. Can't wait to put these to use!All in all, I'm happy with these bearings. Should I ever lose them (my bearings) in the future, the review will be updated.
