Seismic has raised the bar on bearing tech yet again! We spent over two years nerding out with a crack team of American engineers from one of the biggest and best bearing factories in the world. We scrutinized and re-assessed every last component and design feature – and seized on every opportunity to make refinements both large and small – to fully optimize all aspects of skate bearing performance. Roll tighter, truer, faster, and smarter on FULLSPIN – the finest skate bearings in the history of skate bearings!

6-Ball, 7-Ball, & 10mm Systems • Built-In & Classic Constructions
Premium Steel & Black Ceramic Ball Options

Twelve different models – the widest range on the market – with varying feature sets to fill every possible performance need. Next-level Built-In or Classic spacing tech. Steel or Black Ceramic balls in superior Grade G10 for truer, lower-friction spin inside bearings.

Exceptionally Tight, Consistent Specs for Raceway Curvature and Ball Clearance

These parameters are extremely technical, but together they determine mission-critical performance characteristics: how closely raceways wrap around balls, how smoothly and precisely outer rings spin, and how evenly load is distributed inside bearings. Too many brands feign expertise with an overblown muddle of token bearing jargon. Not Seismic. We fully committed to mastering the science, and we pooled brainpower with one of the few factories on earth geared up to get these specifications dialed tight. So Fullspin bearings roll with significantly less internal play, friction,wear, and noise; and superior speed, handling, and durability!

Extra-Tough (XT) Steel and Thicker Outer Rings

Steel specifications are quite complex, but they’re pivotal to bearing strength and durability. Fullspin XT bearing steel is as good as it gets. So raceways hold strictest curvature and finest surface finish – and bearings stay tight and fast – for far longer. Thicker, 60%-stiffer outer rings resist flexing, spin truer and faster, and keep seals from popping off on extreme impacts.

Next-Level Built-In and Classic Spacing / Alignment Systems

Accurate spacing and precise alignment are critical considerations that are too often overlooked. They bring superior paired performance of seated bearings; more consistent wheel contact and grip; more predictable slide dynamics; and longer wheel and bearing life. We’ve dialed both Built-In and Classic systems to a whole new level. Get your bearings straight with Fullspin!

Our Built-In designs (XT and LITE) feature integral half-spacers with smarter, stricter width specs. Patented extra-wide flanges on premium XT models square up inside wheels with more than double the contact area of ordinary Built-In interfaces – powering absolutely unparalleled alignment precision and stability.

Our Classic systems feature thick-walled spacers made of highest-grade bearing steel and machined with significantly smarter, stricter width and bore specs. Next-level profiled spacers (included with Ceramic XT models and available separately) have broad flanged ends that square up against matching extra-wide inner ring surfaces with up to 67% more contact area – powering unprecedented Classic alignment precision and stability.

High-End Lubricant

Light grease formulated by one of the world’s leading lubricant suppliers for peak performance under real-world skating stresses (not max free-spin time). No gimmicky additives, just the tried-and-true premium stuff embraced by top bearing engineers.

Superior Anti-Contaminant Seals and Ball Retainers

Seal’s outside lip is customized to precisely slot inside outer ring groove, while its inside lip forms a robust “Labyrinth” interface with a stepped T-groove on inner ring. Next-gen ball retainer has expanded diameter that engages an identical groove on inside of bearing – to form a unique integral barrier against dust and debris without a second seal. Streamlined construction not only repels dirt and grime more efficiently with fewer components; it also retains lubricant noticeably better than other designs – with virtually no lube “spin-out.” Keeps bearing spinning smooth and fast for longer… with less friction, wear, and noise.

No Imaginary Tech, Pseudo-Science, or Smoke-and-Mirrors
Just superior performance through genuinely advanced, no-BS engineering; highest-quality materials and components; and highest-precision manufacturing.

Check out Seismic flow riders meltin’ pavement all over Madrid. AND TURN YOUR EARS to the sound of “In the Whale”. The band started underground in Greeley, Colorado then moved to Denver shortly after to be a part of the growing music scene.

A little bit about the band:

“…Our music tends to explore the sleazier side of life… the creepy guy in the bar eyeballing the pretty girl, the televangelist who tells you he can save you from the lake of fire, that one uncle you have with the gun collection. We hope to convey a sort of mixture of passion, aggression, and fun with our live show, and we like to think we do a damn good job at it, thank you very much…” – In the Whale

Boulder, CO – After more than two years in development, Seismic is proud to unveil the patent-pending Tekton bearing – the bearing behind the Official IGSA Downhill Speed World Record. (Click here to witness the awesome feat on YouTube.)

Said 2009 World Cup Champion Mischo Erban, who set the new record of 80.83mph last fall, “Tekton bearings roll fast, hold alignment better and stay cleaner, longer. It’s that simple!”

“The difference is the wide flange at the ends of the integrated half-spacers,” said Seismic founder/owner Dan Gesmer. “The big, flat contact surfaces square up, co-align and self-stabilize inside your wheels.”

“Once coupled, the Tektons literally block themselves from sitting or rocking out of alignment, so they stay straighter than any other bearing system ever,” Gesmer added. “Your wheels roll faster with better control, while the bearings last longer and stay quieter!”

According to Neil Sload of Focus Supply, one of the world’s leading suppliers of bearings to top pro skateboard brands, “The Seismic Tekton is by far the most technical skateboard bearing I’ve ever seen produced.”

“It wasn’t easy to find a bearing factory capable of manufacturing this design,” Gesmer continued. “The integral flanged half-spacers need to be custom-machined, not just cut from a stock steel tube.”

Tektons should not be confused with bearings that have their inner races stretched on one side to form a simple half-spacer. Sometimes called “industrial” bearings, these have been used in pre-assembled skateboards since the 1970s, and more recently for racing, but they’re still vulnerable to misalignment.

The diameter of the Tektons’ flanged contact surfaces is up to 35% larger compared to bearings coupled with floating spacers, and up to 23% larger compared to bearings with stretched inner races. This translates to exponentially better correction for flaws in bearing seat levelness, bearing seat spacing, axle diameter and axle straightness.

“I have total confidence in their ability to push extreme speeds – 80mph and beyond!” said Erban.

Tekton bearings, rated at ABEC-7, are precisely dimensioned to provide superior alignment safeguards in all modern high-performance skateboard wheels. Features include steel balls, nylon retainers, black outer casing, removable rubber-coated steel seals with printed graphic, and a proprietary lubricant combining both oil and grease.

The inner race is stepped underneath the seal to resist contamination, and it’s stepped between the bearing and the flange to save weight. (A set of Tektons weighs the same as a set of conventional bearings with simple floating spacers.) On the side opposite the flange, the inner race extends 0.5mm to form a thin integrated washer.

Like all Seismic wheels, trucks, and decks, Tekton bearings are available from finer skate stores and online at www.seismicskate.com. No bearing spacers, axle washers, or World Record budgets required.
