All China bearings are ABEC 1. Reds are made in China so therefore they are ABEC 1.

It shouldn't matter anyway. Abec means nothing for skateboard bearings.

NO they aren't abec ones, but YEKCIM, ABEC doesn't mean how fast you go. I was reading an article at BonesBearings.com, and they said if they were abec rated, their bearings are ABEC 99!


Remember, ABEC only means how fragile and important each part of the bearing is, not its speed

You got the part about ABEC meaning nothing for how fast they go. Although I doubt Bones say their bearings would be ABEC 99 if they were marketed with an ABEC (ALL bearings have an ABEC, although only two choose not to market ABEC). Do you have a link to were they say this?

And ABEC does not mean how fragile and important each peice is, it's a set of tolerances. The tolerances in the ABEC scale mean absolutely nothing for skateboard bearings. Their are other many other things that impact speed.
