Seismic: Fullspin 7-Ball LITE Classic Longboard Skateboard Bearings

Fullspin 7-Ball LITE Bearings with with Classic Free Spacer System
Next-level skate bearing tech more speed, better handling, longer life!
Fit standard 8mm axles only.

Seismic has raised the bar on bearing tech yet again! After the pandemic took out our previous manufacturing partner, we spent over two years nerding out with a crack team of American engineers from one of the biggest and best bearing factories in the world. We scrutinized and re-assessed every last component and design feature and seized on every opportunity to make refinements both large and small to fully optimize all aspects of skate bearing performance. Thats why we re-branded the product line as FULLSPIN. Roll tighter, truer, faster, and smarter on the absolute best skate bearings in the entire history of skate bearings!

7-Ball System:Classic configuration. Best overall balance of speed and resistance to frequent impacts and side loads. Recommended for high-speed turning and sliding (e.g., DH, Freeride, Slalom, Luge, Pump Track) and all style disciplines (e.g., Street, Park, Pool, Ramp, SurfSkate, Flatland and Longboard Freestyle).

Premium Steel Balls: Superior concentricity, surface smoothness, strength, and durability. Manufactured to Grade G10 spec for truer, lower-friction ball spin inside bearings; less energy loss; more speed; and longer bearing life!

Exceptionally Tight, Consistent Assembly and Raceway Specs: Manufacturing specifications for raceways and assembly are highly technical considerations, but absolutely mission-critical to overall bearing performance. Unlike other skate brands, Seismic fully committed to mastering the science and optimizing every last parameter.
See footnote #2 below for the finer points. The important takeaway is: Specs as tight and accurate as Fullspins are only possible at the very biggest, best-equipped, and most skillful factories in the world the average small skate bearing producer cant even come close.
The bottom line for rolling performance: Fullspins world-class factory tolerances result in significantly less internal play, friction, wear, and noise; and noticeably superior speed, handling, and durability!

XT (Extra-Tough) Construction: Inner and outer rings precision-machined from superior steel with advanced heat treatment that fully optimizes metals crystalline microstructure. Raceways hold strictest curvature and finest surface finish and bearings stay tight and fast for far longer!
Outer rings are thicker and 60% stiffer than those seen on most other skate bearings (made with inferior steel). So they resist flexing, spin truer and faster, and keep seals from popping off on extreme impacts.
Radius reduced to bare minimum on all edges of both outer and inner rings for fuller contact and more stable alignment inside bearing pockets of finer wheels; on axles of finer trucks; and at built-in spacer interfaces. A Fullspin first!

Advanced Classic Spacing System: Second only to Fullspins own profiled free spacer design (seen in Ceramic XT Classic models), this is the most advanced Classic bearing alignment tech available in the skate world, and it unlocks outstanding paired performance. Synergizes with other features to inhibit excess play, friction, wear, and noise; and maximize speed, handling, and durability better than Classic systems from any other brand!
Free spacers with thicker walls and smarter, stricter dimensional specs square up against broader inner ring surfaces. Levels and steadies all working components of seated bearings, much more precisely and stably than ordinary spacers which are rough-cut from thin-walled, easily-bent iron or aluminum, with oversized bores that rock on axles.
Precision-machined from premium bearing steel with advanced heat-treatment for unmatched strength and toughness.
Spacer width set to extra-strict 0.400-inch tolerance, to support highly accurate positioning of paired bearings inside finer wheels with well-engineered hubs.
Radius reduced to bare minimum on all edges (inner rings of bearings and ends of spacers), for fuller contact and more stable alignment at spacer interfaces.
All bore specs (spacer as well as inner ring) dialed to maintain exceptional straightness on finer axles.
Premium Ceramic models include Profiled Spacers with extra-wide contacts that boost alignment precision even further. (Also available separately.)

High-End Lubricant: Packed with premium high-RPM light grease from Kyodo Japan. Formulated for peak performance under real-world skating stresses, not max free-spin time. Just press into your wheels and go!3
Note: Free-spinning bearings or wheels by hand, under zero load, is not a meaningful measure of real-world performance (though none of us can resist free-spinning fresh new wheels and bearings). Fullspins advanced lubricant is designed to perform best when warmed up under the load of a human skater whos rolling, turning, and sliding on real asphalt or concrete.4

Outside Seals: Removable rubber-coated no contact steel seals with printed graphic. Edges of seals slot inside V-shaped grooves machined into both outer and inner rings. This Labyrinth interface maximizes resistance to dust and debris which can only penetrate the bearing by navigating a twisting, maze-like path around seal edges.
Note: Seals protect bearings from environmental contaminants, which significantly accelerate wear. Properly-made no contact seals do not add friction. Brands that promote completely unsealed bearings just want you to wear yours out faster so they can sell you another set (that will also wear out prematurely).

Advanced Dust-Resistant Ball Retainers: Fullspins custom ball retainers keep bearings cleaner for longer, without the addition of a second seal. They feature an expanded outer diameter that slots into a groove in the outer ring just like an inside seal would to form a unique integral barrier against contamination. Molded from an engineering-grade fiber-reinforced composite specifically formulated by the German producer for high stiffness and dimensional stability in bearing retainers and similar components.

ABEC Rating: We dont bother with the ABEC rating system, which measures only the most superficial dimensional tolerances of the outer and inner rings all of negligible relevance to real-world skating performance.

Eco-friendly packaging: No wasteful, oversized metal tins or plastic cases just a minimal recyclable cardboard box. Bearings and spacers wrapped inside VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper another Fullspin first! Adds superior protection against corrosion during transit and long-term storage of unopened packages.

No imaginary tech, pseudo-science, or smoke-and-mirrors: Just superior performance through genuinely advanced, no-BS engineering; highest-quality materials and components; and highest-precision manufacturing.

100% free of:
Random bearing tech inappropriately adapted from other industries solely for the sake of novelty.
High-sounding raceway coatings that interfere with optimal finishing and cause abrasive damage to ball surfaces.
Flashy lubricant additives that accelerate wear not speed.
Bombastic references to features and processes like the following all totally ordinary and unexceptional at any decent, self-respecting skate bearing factory: deep-groove raceways with micro-channels, fine-polishing, fiber-reinforced nylon retainers, hand-inspection, and ultrasonic solvent washing.

1 Compared to balls used in run-of-the-mill skate bearings, G10 specs are 60% 80% tighter for concentricity (roundness), and 50% 67% stricter for surface smoothness. (In simpler terms, twice as smooth as the finest cue ball, 10 times as smooth as a mirror finish.)
2Radial clearance (gap between balls and raceway surfaces) held within a super tight and narrow range, with remarkably little deviation from the exact middle. Synergizes with extra-strict raceway curvature radius for outstandingly balanced load distribution across balls. Raceway surface finish up to 40% smoother than well-known brands. Superior tolerances for outer and inner ring concentricity (roundness), too.
3 Do not clean or add extra lubricant to brand new Fullspin bearings. Wipe grime off outer seals whenever excess builds up. Clean and re-lube bearings only as needed, depending on how often and where you skate more frequently if you ride through water, mud, dirt, or sand. Do not remove outer seals or disassemble in any way; just soak in isopropyl alcohol (70% solution or greater), rinse, and let dry. Avoid excessive cleaning, which increases risk of accidental damage to small internal components, as well as citrus-based cleaning solutions, which cause corrosion.
4 Bearings may gain extended free-spin time if theyre under-lubricated, or lubricated with very thin oil, or assembled too loosely. But under real-world skating stresses, they wont perform as well or hold up as long as high-quality bearings with tight assembly tolerances and appropriate lubricant even though the latter may have a shorter free-spin. Most skating speed records have been set on bearings with modest free-spin. What matters is how bearings handle under the load of a human riders bodyweight rolling, turning, and sliding on real asphalt or concrete.
