Spitfire Cheapshots 

Although these bearings are only equivalent to ABEC 3 they are as good as any other bearing reviewed on this page in our opinion. These all-steel bearings come with removable shields so can be easily cleaned and maintained. They also come pre-greased so they provide a smooth rolling action right out of the box. These all-black spitfire bearings are a bargain at under £10 and due to the price, they get a 4 out of 5 star review from us. You can buy a set of Spitfire cheapshot bearings

Spitfire Classics

The cheapest ABEC 5 equivalent Spitfire bearings and these are a step up from the cheapshot for sure but not by much. You do get impact resistant removable nylon cages
as well as heat resistant chromium steel rings within the bearing but from a performance point the difference is minimal. These are a mid-priced bearing from Spitfire designed as a Bones REDS equivalent. They are faster than their cheaper counterparts and can be maintained due to their removable shields. Spitfire are a brand you can trust, everything they make is good quality and these are no exception… You can buy a set of spitfire classic bearings if your looking for a retailer
