QUBE 8 Ball Bearings

Patterned after the Fafnir bearing of the late 70s, Sure-Grip has utilized their 3D technology and re-created this bearing to contain 8 balls instead of the traditional 7 which allows the load to be spread out evenly over the entire bearing instead of just one or two points. The additional ball also gives the bearing greater lateral load capabilities while turning, perfect for roller derby

Lateral load is the force created while turning; it’s the momentum that wants to push you off the track. Using an 8-ball bearing will help distribute the load evenly over the entire bearing, in essence making a stronger bearing laterally. Combined with a deeper groove this gives you the ability to skate into turns harder with no worry of bearing blow out.
