We did it again. Revolver delivers a premium product for a budget price. We achieve this by making the product exclusive to LocoSkates and simplifying the supply chain; thus saving costs usually added by a distributor.
Revolver Big Ball 9 Bearings are a 6-ball bearing (sometimes referred to as 'ILQ') and are rated ABEC 9.
There are six balls in the BB9 bearings instead of the usual seven seen more commonly in rollerblading bearings. Each ball is marginally bigger, making for more strength and less rolling resistance.
There are 3 grades of bearing available from Revolver:
ABEC 5 - Lowest Price
ABEC 9 - Mid Price
Big Ball 9 - Premium (you are viewing this product)
We truly regard this as a premium product that sits in the same class as similar, higher-priced products.
The BB9 bearing uses neoprene one-sided shields to eliminate denting from side-impact and reduces the chance of the ball bearings being pushed into the shield opposite. This, the highest-end version of our bearing range, uses white nylon cages instead of the usual steel cages which further reduces friction and weight.
