The QUBE 8-ball bearing is patterned after the Fafnir bearing of the late 70s, using our 3D technology we have re-created this bearing for today's market using modern day technology. This bearing contains 8 balls instead of the traditional 7 which has many advantages.

QUBE Bearings by Sure-Grip have been years in the making, nothing has been overlooked. Using a special 3D modeling process we call QUBE, which means Quality Utilizing Better Equipment, we have engineered a Roller Skate specific bearing. For over 70 years Sure-Grip has been making the finest roller skates in the world, and now comes the first roller skate bearing designed for roller skating. Several professional skaters have taken part in the design of these new bearings and we are confident that no other bearing on the market can produce a better feel or roll. Trust the professionals and trust a bearing that was designed specifically for roller skating.

Every bearing is developed for a specific purpose and every bearing is different. We often get asked what ABEC rating are your bearings, the fact is not all bearings are ABEC rated, and not all bearings need to be ABEC rated. The scale was originally designed for industrial applications and has since been used in many other applications only because it was an easy way to get bearings manufactured. As the roller skating industry grows its time for roller skate bearings to grow as well. We have created the first roller skate specific bearing to be used in roller skates only, no one in the industry has done anything like this for roller skating. We have taken several bearings from all types of industries, analyzed each one and the result was 5 bearings that we feel is the culmination of bearing development over the past 30 years in roller skating.

Sure-Grip has teamed with a leading bearing manufacture and using a special 3D modeling process we have digitally mapped each bearing. This process involves countless hours of work to analyze each bearing and enter the data into a computer system. Next the modeling process begins where we actually create a 3D working model of the bearing in the computer. As a working model we can actually test the bearing in real world situations to make sure our product works properly; at this stage several revisions can be made to ensure quality. Each bearing was designed for a specific purpose and each bearing was tested to our exact specifications. The results are the finest roller skating bearing ever created.
