ABEC 5 stainless bearings are what I use.

What grade are the OE bearings? Also what is your opinion about ceramic hybrid bearings? Thanks, Andy

We do not rate the stock bearings but I would say they are ABEC 3. I am not a big fan of the ceramic bearings. They are loud and do not like dirt. Ceramic bearings are designed to run dry with no lube. Any lube acts like a magnet for dirt to stick to.

I guess if you want to maintain your bearings constantly then it can be a good option. I just do not see a great performance gain for what you pay for the cermaic bearings.
