Fahrenheit Skates will ONLY produce ABEC 9 ceramic bearings which is the elite end of the scale. The majority of bearing manufacturers will use a silver finish but at Fahrenheit's, we prefer to use GOLD. Gold is the world's best heat reflector. As a result, Fahrenheit bearings will run faster for longer because they will not generate heat and slow down performance.

The ABEC scale is an industry-accepted standard for the tolerance of ball bearings. it is designed to provide bearing manufacturers with dimensional specifications that meet the standards of precision bearings in a specified class. Manufacturers who produce equipment that requires bearings must also know the dimensional tolerances to design parts that will accommodate a bearing.

There are five classes from largest to smallest tolerances: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. The higher ABEC classes provide better precision, efficiency, and the possibility of greater speed capabilities.

Usually, High-rated bearings are intended for precision applications like aircraft instruments or surgical equipment. Lower-graded bearings are intended for most applications such as skates, skateboards, fishing reel vehicles, and mechanical and industrial machinery. High ABEC-rated bearings allow optimal performance of critical applications requiring very high RPM and smooth operation.
