Ceramics are closer to near perfect roundness unlike steel bearings...also ceramic does not distort and expand as your steel bearing would from heat....the tech is out there, all you gotta do is read up on it
Guys.... If the wheel is heavier... it won't only have more inertia, but it will also have more friction... Anyways... I don't think there is much of a difference in weight...
PS... It's not exactly inertia... It's rotational inertia...
ceramic bearings are the best type of bearings out there. due to when they are being compared to normal bearings metal are not as round as a ceramic, its just thousands of a millimiter, ceramic also handles extreme heat well
This is a very convincing demo. If all new autos were mandated to have these on their wheels out of the factory, costs could be driven down and huge savings could be realized at the pump. Thanks for the video.
The ceramic bearings are laserjeted clean or somthing and ceramic metal never rust and has better spin time than normal steel bearings but like $99 just for one.
Cool. Thanks for the vid! Ceramic bearings are extremely hard and they can go almost forever with no wear, and they can also use lighter grease for better spin. But because they are hard, they can crack. Probably should not use on an MX bike for example. Steel bearings have more drag/friction, are heavier, wear many times faster than ceramics, but they will almost never crack and even when steel bearing grind down almost to dust, they will still hold the wheel together.
What about strength?? Are they usefull for enduro? I know ceramic is strong but it can be britle for an enduro bike...?

The rims are different before (heavier) and after ...

Trim the lip off the seals and the steel bearings will spin the same.

You could probably balance the wheel in-situ now it runs so freely

how long do they last? whats there tensil strength? are they brittle?

This comment has received too many negative votes show
How about next time you do the comparison, you use the same wheels, rather than one light CF/Mag wheel and one stock one? Total hoax.

all things being equal, a heavier wheel should spin for longer as it has more inertia

Hi guys, I really want a set of these bearings for my motorcycle, any ideas where I can obtain em from ? cheers :)
