Zealous Bearings

do they work with orangutangs

I like them very much, for the same reasons as everybody else who likes them, 'click-click' and put your wheels on. But only running them on These wheels, because of the spacer issue. Read somewhere that they (Zealous)are fixing it. Here are the wheels I've tried them on, and for which they are too big; Grippins, Hawgs, O'tang, Butterballs, Volante Serrata and NoSkoolz.

So a buddy of mine got these on a complete about a week ago and right from the start i could tell these are better than reds. They felt way more precise way smoother and way quieter. However they do need to be broken in, when you just let it free spin it only goes like 45 secs, but that dont mean shit cuz when your riding them they feel just as fast as bones reds but smoother and quieter. So over all better than reds for less money. Buy these!! P.S. ill be wrinting another reveiw after they're nice and broken in but ive got high hopes.

best bearings for the price

These bearings are so much quieter than ABEC 5's. Smoother, faster, mostly everyhing. May need a little cleaning every now and then when you first get it, because of the dirt sticking to the new lubricant, but other than that, great!

I have bones swiss, bones swiss super 6(multiple sets), bones swiss labrynth, and s9 ceramics, and a bunch of these. These are GREAT bearings. Don't pay mind to the price, or any of the negative comments. They take about an hour of riding to 'break in' (bearings don't break in- the lube fully spread though) and then they are just as fast as my ceramics. Idk about the smooth ride on them, have only used them in 83A inheats, but my ceramics in my 80A inheats feel smoother. Could be the lower duro, but the speed is pretty much the same.Even it they did suck, they are cheap and work. Replacing would be easy. I havn't needed to clean yet but I feel like it'd be a bit weird with the design. only 4 stars because the spacers make them fit weird in certain wheels like my kegels.Free-spin doesn't mean anything. A unlubricated bearings have a long free spin, but would not do well against dirt or the actual pressure of your weight against them. You want your bearings well lubed, I use 4 drops of speed cream in each one wether it's 7 ball 6 ball ceramic or steel, and they spin for like 1 second but bring me to the finish line with a smooth steezy rideBUY THESE ZEALOUS BEARINGS ALREADY!!!!!! YOULL LOVE THEM

You can't go wrong with these although they are a little slow spinning at first they last twice as long and with the built in spacers.

I wanted a set of race bearings for my longboard so I can get rid of spacers and washers and these were highly recommended based on reviews.Out of the package, very steady roll and quiet. Only issue I had though was that the grease that came with the bearings took forever to break in and was actually rolling slower, so I had to open it up to clean it. The grease was so thick and viscous that it took a couple of tries to just clean it out. Mind you, the grease was most likely put on thick to help repel water, but the amount was a bit excessive.

I've used a ton of different bearings from biltin to bones super reds/reds, daddies regulars and ceramics w/ built in spacers, oust, and a bunch of other chinese crap, and these are hands down the best bearings I've ever had. Going on 2 months and these babbies haven't slowed down a bit, if not gotten faster. For the price, you simply cannot beat this kind of performance. DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER there's no point. Bones are overhyped, and the hype on Zealous is actually backed up and justified. One thing I did notice with the built in spacers is that you don't need speed rings, but the portion of the inner race is very long, and with the axle nut and everything on the truck axle, the nut is almost flush with the end of my axle. Only other bummer is that to clean these you'd have to get rid of the "self-healing" nano-ceramic lubrication compound inside, but by the time these bearings crap out, you can just shell out another $13 hah.

best bearings out there. ive always bought cheap bearings because bearings dont matter as long as they roll. however, i buy these for more than just the price tag. built in bearings for $14 is an absolute steal. not only that but they last just as long as any other bearing that is reasonably priced. dont waste your money on anything else. get this junk. now.

Sssnnnnniiiiiiiiffffffffffffff. Ahhhhhhhh. Can you smell it? Why its the beautiful smell of precision bearings. Built in spacers and speed rings, double bearing seals, nanoceramic lube, and an amazing price point of $13.99. What more could you ask for?

first of all these do take a bit of breaking in. however once they are good and broken in they are amazing. these are not the fastest bearings by any measure, but they definitely get the job done and are virtually indestructible.

Best bearings on the market. They are cheap, built-ins and super fast. worth every dollar

Going on 3 months. they are only going faster. dont buy anything else. these are cheaper, better, and longer lasting

These bearings are seriously a steal at $13.99. They are extremely high quality bearings that look sick when you open them and on your wheels. They need broken in but after that you are riding on $50 bearings for $14. Reds die these don't! Don't waste your money on more expensive Chinese trash!

I absolutely love these bearings! Very smooth, quiet, and low maintenance! The built in spacers and speed rings along with the price, you can't go wrong. I'm never using other bearings again!

Put these n a jati jiro with abec 11 freerides and paris 180s for freeride. Wish I knew about em when I did downhill... Super smooth and crazy fast as well as durable. I have skated buzzsaws redz and countless other bearings but these make em all look like crap. AND FOR HALF THE PRICE!

these bearing are very nice for like 13 bucks they fit perfectly on calibers and they do have built in speed rings so dont worry if u lose yours but i still keep mine on

My buddy has these and they go so fast. When I skate with him he goes so fast on a small hill. Get these

After my first run with these I had to go home to change my pants cuz I jizzed in them.

I've been buying Bones bearings for quite some time and these out perform every single Reds and Super Reds I've ever owned. On top of that I didn't have to spend $20 plus another 3-5 bucks just to get spacers and washers to bolt these babies down for smooth slides. I have 2 sets and have broken them in yet but they're so smooth for ones that haven't broken in yet. Seriously, if you wanna get all around bearings and don't wanna deal with losing washers get these suckers. You won't regret spending a single penny on them.

I have been skating for almost 15 years, and these are the best bearings I have ever ridden, regardless of price. I dig them better than reds and even TEKTONS.ZEALOUS FOR LIFE HOMIES

Swagger bearings. Cheaper than reds, just as good (if not better,) and come with built in spacers and speed rings. Spin for days once broken in. Btw no need to lube because it already has a perfect formula that shouldn't be jacked with. Buy these now.

this set of bearings are awesome,maintenance free,has a smooth ride and very quiet all you need is to break them in,ive been using mine for almost a year and theyre still ok used it for freeride and bombing some hills, haven't even cleaned them even once and i can say that they are much better than a lot of bearings out there,and theyre also fast once they get really used up,get these bearings they are the best.

My neighbr and I have about 100 of these bearings and we havent found anything better! If you see Andres' comment they arent made for a free spin they have heavy lube but, when you stand on them the weight of a person balance out the lube so therefor they dont stop spining! Dumbass Andres

Great bearings, love the built-in spacers and speed rings, really saves time switching up wheels. The lube is great and they are wicked fast once you break them in a bit. The guy who gave these 1 star and said they only freespin for 2 seconds is an idiot, and also freespin has very little to do with actual bearing performance.

These bearings are amazing 5/5 starts automatic with built in spaces there's are the bomb these will spin for ever and wonce broken in they are the best bearings i have had in a few years. For the price and the quality these bearings are the way to go. Just as good as bones red maybe even better.

These bearings are amazing. Every skater knows that freespin doesn't matter. The real results are shown when riding, and these bearings roll smoothly, for days!Also, the repairing compound in the bearings is for the imperfections that get pounded into them from riding hard, not because they come with any defects. That's just ignorant.

These are the best bearings ever. Nanoceramic grease is awesome. Rubber seals is smart. Bearing spacers and speed rings are out dated, and mandatory. Get yourself a set of these, and when you realize how awesome they are, compare them with Biltin, and then ABEC 11 all in one bearings.... They really are the future of bearings!!

I run zealous in all of my setups and they are my favorite bearing. Also, the built in speed rings and spacers are very nice.

They roll forever and are so smooth, And having the spacers and speedrings built in is the best thing ever, makes switching out wheels on the hill super quick.

Wonderful and inexpensive.

BUT THESE NOW!!!!!!! NOW! they are great for there price and ride for days with the nanotech ceramic lubricant it fills any crack or imperfection the ball will have now dont let the downers say "They shouldn't have imperfection in the first place" they aren't cool guys like me. but go buy these they ride smoother than super reds and quieter BUY THEM NOOOOOWWWW! if i could i would rate these 6 STARS

cheap, fast, durable, and make changing wheels a breeze. buy them

The previous reviewers don't understand that free spin isn't everything. It matters how they perform when somebody is ACTUALLY RIDING THEM. Sure, even after a month they only free spin for like ten seconds, but that isn't whats important. It is important that they transformed the slide of my flashbacks from choppy to drifty smooth. It is important that they come with built in speed rings and spacers for only fourteen bucks. It is important that when you are ACTUALLY RIDING THE BOARD that they spin just as nicely as any other regular bearing. The free spin means nothing; it doesn't affect you when you are actually going down a hill slideways. The fact that it improved my actual sliding ability does matter. Case closed.

GET THEM NOW.Owner of like, a dozen sets of these babies!

Get them get them get themamazing easy to change wheels due to the built insgreat and definetly worth more tan what they r priced at!!!!

Zealous are by far my favorite bearing brand. Since they have built in speed rings and bearing spacers, changing or rotating wheels is a breeze. They don't spin very well when you have only the bearing in hand, but in a wheel, they can handle 30mph+ with ease. I really like the color too, but that doesn't matter. For $12, these are the best bearings for your money.

this bearings are sick just give them a month or so to get broken in and with time they will get better and better

To all the dumbasses who are talking about how the bearings only spin 20sec or 15sec and my bones reds spin 100sec it doest really matter. This bearings are great and once broken in spin very smoothly. Also the fact that they have the built in spacers and speed rings makes changing wheels a breeze and gives me the ability to wrench down this bearings as tight as I want with no loss of wheel spin. Get yours!

These bearings are incredible. The break in time is a bit longer than most. Out of the package, you'll be disappointed. The bearings seem slow. After a nice long ride or two these things will be your go-to bearings. A lot of people think that free spin is how you judge a bearing. WRONG. Bearings, bushings, and everything about a longboard is designed to be ridden. Free spin, these things blow. Simple as that. But when you're on your board, these things don't stop. I went a third of a mile without pushing on a downhill gradient that I never knew existed with Reds. My friend was BEHIND me pushing constantly trying to stay with me. I actually sat on my board and just cruised while he was pushing to stay with me. I must restate that I did not know that strip was downhill until I got these bearings. I would have gone further if it didn't turn into a large hill. These things are the best. Stop your free spin crap, make your hardware changes easier, and be happier. If you want those things, then get these bearings.Also, I've had these for 8 months and I've only cleaned them once. There is no rust and they roll just as well as the first time I broke them in. Buy Zealous.

Have had these things for almost a year now and haven't had a single problem with them. AMAZING for speed and carry great momentum. get these things now!!

Free spin doesn't mean anything. These are the best bearings I've ridden. I've ridden generics, reds, rockin rons, and Zealous. Zealous is the best by far. Of those they are the cheapest, fastest, and easiest to swap out. If your looking for bearings buy one pair of these and see if you don't stick to them after you ride them.

Very good bearings for the price. Built in spacers and speed rings! NOTHING COULD GET BETTER THAN THAT! GET THEM AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Not having to put on speed rings and spacers every time is such a plus and they roll so smoothly. My favorite bearing ever.

Best and cheapest bearing out there, i have 5 sets and they all perform just like new. They have a self lubricating system so you never need to clean them, actually despite what people say never clean them, the day you clean them or open their shields is the day they begin to die.

Holy smokes, I swear I can go uphill with these bearings

they are great

they are great

they are some great bearings and will last. they are very functional

All my friends ride bone reds they say they are great bearings but i want to know if these are better than bone reds. Plz tell so i can buy the right bearings.

All other bearings have nothing on zealous. They make changing wheels 10x easier because you dont have to worry about losing speed rings and spacers and on top of that theyre super fast, stable for freeriding, and barely require maintenance. Bones are nothing compared to these. Zealous for life!

No doubt the best, fastest bearings ive ever owned. All around greatness in every detail. BUY THESE! If you regret it then youre not a true boarder.

These bad boys will make you a Pro.

I got bones swiss ceramics and these, I much prefer these, no maintenance and easy to change and you never lose your speed rings. They are slightly slower and take longer to break in but for over $100 less these are where it's at.

I love these bearings they're so smooth and last a very long time, The nano ceramic grease is awesome, I now have them on all of my boards, buy these : )

Don't listen to the losers who go for freespin, that's not what these are about. Broken in, these are amazing. Smooth, quiet, and fast enough to burn the hair off your legs... almost too fast! Better than Bones Supers. For the price point, they are WELL worth the money! Go ahead, pay big bucks for the ceramics or just buy a few sets of these and trash them when you are done. Less mess, less time cleaning bearings, more time skating, but hardly a compromise in performance. Broken in, these skate just as good as any ceramic. Your choice... skate or clean.

They are really smooth. I previously owned Bones Supers and they are pretty good but I prefer Zealous over them. Plus they are cheaper!

I'm incredibly satisfied with the way these bearings perform, 10 times more stable than the rush abec 9s that I was riding before I had RECEIVED these. They have the claimed "speedlock" stabilization system spacers that CAME in the package with THEM, apparently they were supposed to prevent speed wobble while keeping your trucks stable..needless to say that they didn't live up to their promise. Zealous bearings on the other Hand without a doubt delivered a smooth and solid ride with absolutely no wheel slop, I feel way more confident with these under my feet. Speed wobble is virtually eliminated! I 100% recommend these bearings over anything else out there, they simply cannot be beat for the price! Thanks daddies for sending me some kick ass product :)

These are some damn good bearings. I know Reds are supposed to be the go to bearing for any compete setup, but in my eyes, these are the essentials for any skater's quiver. And they're cheaper than reds too! Why wouldn't you get these! They're super smooth and give already high roll speed wheels even more speed. Also they come packaged in a nice little tube which you can use to store things. I use mine to store extra unused bearings. Get these killer lime bearings! You won't regret it!

Fast, silent, and relatively easy to maintain and clean. Having built-in spacers and speed rings is a godsend. Great price and the green shields look legit, too.

I've been street skating since I was 7 years old. Im 17 now. I've gone through TONS of bearings. 10+ pairs of Reds, FKDs, Zero bearings, Black Panthers, tons of Luckys, and so on. The most impressive I've had are probably Black Panthers. That is, until I bought a pair of these. They are the cheapest AND the best. No lie. I have a friend who bought one pair of these and he's been ripping them for over 3 years. He says they're still good as new. These are the miracle bearing.

they are awesome. I feel like I am gliding on air. These are a lot better compared to my loaded jehu's those were over-hyped.

If you want durable bearings that are easy to maintain these are it. The bonus is the built in spacers making it a breeze to change wheels without having to worry about losing spacers and speed rings. Plus they are sealed on both sides to keep water and dirt out. After a few months of winter riding I give all my bearings a blast of Skanunu to keep em rollin fast, don't even have to take them out of the wheels, just spin the wheel and squirt some on!

Best bearings out there by far in my opinion. Ive used them on my Subsonic Pulse for well over 1000 miles of pumping without issue. Quiet, fast, smooth, and durable... can't ask for much more. Less parts with built in speed rings and spacers make for an easier setup and keep it simple.

Best bearings out there by far in my opinion.

Bought a set of these a few months ago and one of the bearings had an issue that got worse with a few rides. Sent an email straight to the company owner and he immediately sent a replacement along with an additional gift. So, they back their product, which is an excellent product. A smooth, quiet and fast bearing. Much better than the Indy bearings I had in there that deteriorated super fast, and the built in spacers/speed rings are great.

Zealous bearings are truly amazing, no maintenance bearings. The magic behind them is in the nanoceramic grease they use.Cheap built in bearings that have a lifespan longer than any other I've used.A break in period is required for the grease to work itself around, but once broken in you will absolutely love these.

Brought and old carver skate board back to life with these bearingsGood inexpensive bearing so far

great product and price
