Our bicycle bearings come factory filled with Everlast grease, a long-lifelubricant meticulously chosen to ensure optimal functionality and longevity. This specialized grease provides a solid foundation for smooth operation, reducing friction and wear to guarantee a superior riding experience.
Eenox Showtime grease is designed for those seeking peak performance, offering a remarkable 40% reduction in friction torque compared to Everlast grease. This specialized formulation enhances the efficiency of your bearings, ensuring a smoother and more responsive ride.
However, it's important to note that, due to the higher performance, Showtime grease requires more frequent maintenance. We recommend cleaning and regreasing the bearings every 1,000 – 2,000 km (625 – 1,250 miles) compared to the 6,000 – 8,000 km (3,750 – 5,000 miles) interval associated with Everlast grease, ensuring optimal performance mile after mile.
For off-road enthusiasts considering the use of no-contact seal type bearings on their mountain bikes, we advise caution unless the pursuit of a speed advantage is paramount.
While these seals offer enhanced speed, it's important to note that the trade-off involves a potential decrease in bearing longevity due to the increased risk of contamination entering the bearings during rugged off-road excursions.
We recommend a thoughtful evaluation of your specific biking needs before opting for this type of bearing to ensure an informed decision aligning with your performance and durability preferences.

Our Research and Development team, led by the esteemed Dr. Razvan, a veteran bearing scientist, is tirelessly exploring groundbreaking solutions aimed at ensuring our customers stay competitive and perform at their best.
Each introduction undergoes rigorous testing and years of development before being associated with the Eenox name. This meticulous process not only guarantees unmatched quality but also underscores the superiority of our technology. The fact that top athletes choose our products is a testament to the excellence and reliability ingrained in every Eenox innovation.
The ABEC rating, often misunderstood in the skating and skateboarding world, holds particular significance for precision in ultra-high speed (over 100,000 rpm) or high-precision applications (like metrology equipment). Your skate and skateboard bearings will likely never see more than 10,000 revolutions per minutes, which is relatively slow by bearing standards.
Although we have the capability to produce ABEC 9 bearings at WIB, the parent company of Eenox, it's crucial to note that for skates and skateboards, you wouldn’t see any benefit from this. What truly matters is the precision and surface finish of the raceway, cleanliness of the bearing, cage design, ball grade and quality, seal and shoulder grinding precision.
At Eenox, we prioritize these critical elements, ensuring superior bearing performance for diverse applications beyond the misconceptions associated with ABEC ratings.
The difference between stainless steel and our SP Series High-Grade Stainless Steel Rings lies in the advanced level of corrosion resistance achieved by the latter.
While traditional stainless steel (440C material) effectively minimizes rust formation on bearings, it requires regular maintenance, especially in corrosive environments like ocean water. Our SP Series, however, outperforms 440C stainless steel significantly.
Utilizing specially formulated materials and a precise heat treatment process, these bearings are engineered to virtually eliminate the possibility of rust formation.
This elevated level of anticorrosive performance ensures top athletes can achieve peak performance in any environment, making SP Series the superior choice for durability and reliability.
Eenoxuses nylon cages instead of crimped steel cages in our bearings for several compelling reasons. Nylon retainers outshine crimped steel counterparts in terms of corrosion resistance, lighter weight, quieter operation, and non-magnetic properties.
The corrosion-resistant nature of nylon ensures an extended lifespan for bearings exposed to varying environmental conditions during rides.
The reduced weight not only contributes to a smoother and more responsive ride but also enhances maneuverability, a critical factor in skating and skateboarding performance. Skateboarders and skaters alike appreciate the quieter operation of nylon, minimizing distracting noise during tricks and rides.
In summary, the combination of durability, reduced weight, quiet operation, and non-magnetic properties makes nylon cages the preferred choice for skate and skateboard bearings.
Currently, all skateboard and inline skate bearings are exclusively available for purchase online. This strategy is designed to streamline the value chain, ensuring competitive pricing while minimizing the risk of counterfeit sales—a concern particularly prevalent with high-end skateboard and inline skate bearings.
By abstaining from distribution through traditional retailers, brick-and-mortar stores, and third-party online resellers, we can guarantee that every Eenox bearing purchased is authentic and directly sourced from us. This approach prioritizes transparency, authenticity, and cost-effectiveness, providing our customers with the assurance of genuine, high-quality products directly from the official source.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, a general recommendation is to clean and relubricate your bearings approximately every 4 months.
However, the frequency of this maintenance task is contingent on your skating and skateboarding habits. If you primarily skate or skateboard indoors, an annual servicing might suffice. On the other hand, more frequent skating and skateboarding in wet or dusty conditions may necessitate monthly servicing.
The key is to conduct this maintenance before your bearings become noisy or ride roughly, as once they reach that point, restoring them to a "like new" condition becomes challenging even with servicing. Regular cleaning and relubrication not only extend bearing lifespan but also ensure a consistently smooth and superior performance, enhancing your overall skating and skateboarding experience.
Straight from our Swiss factory, each bearing is meticulously lubricated with a specific quantity of Redline oil, measured in milligrams equivalent to between 1 to 2 drops. This precise amount strikes an optimal balance between low friction and extended lifespan.
While it may be impractical to measure in milligrams during at-home servicing, we recommend using 2 drops of Redline oil. This ensures that your bearings receive the necessary lubrication without the risk of oil deprivation, guaranteeing a superiorly smooth ride and the low friction crucial for achieving peak performance.
The longevity of our greases, Showtime and Everlast, is tailored to varying biking conditions. For road cycling, Showtime grease is designed to last between 1,000 – 2,000 km (625 – 1,250 miles), offering exceptional performance. In comparison, Everlast grease provides extended durability, lasting between 6,000 – 8,000 km (3,750 – 5,000 miles). However, in more challenging, off-road environments such as mountain biking, it's advisable to reduce these distances by a third, contingent on the severity of contamination. This ensures that our greases continue to deliver optimal lubrication, supporting your biking adventures with consistent, high-quality performance.
Maintaining the cleanliness of the grease in your bicycle bearings is paramount for ensuring prolonged lifespan and optimal performance. Picture the grease as the lifeblood that keeps your bearings running smoothly. If foreign particles, whether soft like dirt or hard like bits of metal, infiltrate the grease, they can create small dents on the raceways and steel balls, accelerating wear and tear. The continuous cycling stress, exacerbated by these contaminants, leads to increased wear on the bearing's surface. To keep your bike riding smoothly and in peak condition, it's essential to regularly inspect, clean, and reapply grease, thereby significantly extending the life of the bearings.
