Bronson Speed Co. RAW Bearings are the definition of pure, unfiltered performance. Designed for skaters who push limits and expect their gear to keep up, these bearings are built for speed, power, and longevity. The RAW Six Ball configuration replaces the traditional seven-ball setup with six larger, stronger balls that can handle brutal impacts, heavy landings, and high-speed abuse without losing precision. The result is less friction, faster acceleration, and a noticeably smoother roll that stays consistent from your first push to your last carve of the day.
What makes RAW Bearings truly unique is their shield-free design. By removing the shields, Bronson eliminates unnecessary drag and the constant buildup of dirt and debris that plagues most bearings. This open layout gives you an effortless, raw roll and a sound that every skater recognizes — that crisp, metallic hum of real speed. You can feel and hear the difference the moment you drop in. It’s not just noise; it’s feedback from your setup telling you that everything is dialed in perfectly.
Inside, every bearing features precision-machined tungsten-coated races that act as a micro-thin dry lubricant layer. This advanced coating reduces internal friction, resists grime, and extends the lifespan of your bearings even under the harshest conditions.
Combined with Bronson’s deep groove raceways and max-impact cage design, RAW Bearings stay stable through high-impact tricks and rough terrain, giving you total confidence at any speed. High-speed oil keeps everything running fresh and resistant to water, oxidation, and corrosion — so your bearings roll clean whether you’re bombing hills, hitting the park, or cruising the streets. Each set is sealed in a nitrogen-filled package straight from the factory to prevent oxidation before you ever open the box. That means when you drop these in, they’re already race-ready — no break-in needed, just instant, pure performance.Â
