We've already received our first delivery of these and they've been appreciated so far. I don't think anyone has given them a serious test/comparison yet, but for sure this product is more appropriate to slalom than the previous "Freestyle" bearing.
(They're not yet up on our website though).
It'll be interesting to race on them in the spring.

These bearings have been in the competition during last season, used by SKF team members, and i have been using them too. i kept begging for one more set all the time actually. i absolutely love them, it's not that they are the fastest at first use, but you have this feeling that those are the bearings that will last so much longer and get faster and faster with time. By comparision other fast bearings seem to hardly hold together.
They will be our main bearing from now on (i just have to shoot them first) on the site. The SKF "Freestyler" that we have been selling for one year are more for freeride, or training. The downhill is a racing product. (they should be sold 29Euros together with the specific lubricant bottle, if it is correct to mention ...?)

Appart from the packaging
what is the difference between SPEEDskater and SPEEDtrainer (or SPEEDracer perhaps) that are roller bearings (16X package)
Or are they the same?

Hi there;
We have these to; because I think they are the same as the Powerrace bearings (BB1-0327).
We have sold alot of them in the last half year, and no complaints so far.
We sell them without the tube and oil for just 15 euro (for a set of 8).
If your interested you can find us
here,

Chris,
I hope you did not actually manage to post without being signed in, and that it was rather a malfunction in the system.
Every now and then I see guests posting and I don't understand how they manage. We've tried to set up the board so that you can't post without being signed in first.
