Bronson Speed Co.

Revolutionary since 2013 and trusted by pros worldwide, Bronson Speed Co represents the cutting edge of skateboard bearing technology. Founded by NHS Inc. under the mission to create skate bearings specifically designed for today's skateboarding, Bronson emerged to challenge the established order with innovative engineering and superior performance. From their flagship G3 bearings that feature deep groove raceways and micro groove surfaces to the shield-free Raw bearings that deliver pure speed, Bronson has consistently pushed the boundaries of what bearings can achieve. Whether you're after G2 bearings that outperform traditional options or ceramic bearings that offer maximum longevity, Bronson combines cutting-edge technology with proper skateboarding heritage, built by engineers who understand what it means to go faster, roll smoother, and last longer than anything that came before. 

Bronson Speed Co Brand History 

Back in 2013, when skateboard bearings had remained largely unchanged for decades, NHS Inc. saw an opportunity to revolutionise the industry. With their extensive experience distributing legendary brands like Santa Cruz, Independent, and Creature, they understood what modern skateboarding demanded from its components. The team behind Bronson Speed Co wasn't interested in making just another bearing, they wanted to engineer something genuinely superior. Working with advanced manufacturing techniques and cutting-edge materials, they developed bearings that addressed every limitation of traditional designs. Deep groove raceways for impact protection, micro groove surfaces for enhanced lubrication, max impact cage design for ball retention, and high-speed ceramic oil for protection against moisture and corrosion. What started as a mission to create the "fastest, strongest, longest-lasting" bearings has become exactly that. From those early days of challenging industry giants to becoming the preferred choice for skaters who demand the best, Bronson has never compromised on their core principle: next-generation technology for today's skateboarding.

Bronson Speed Co Skate Team

Bronson's team reads like a who's who of modern skateboarding's most progressive riders. The roster includes Aaron "Jaws" Homoki, Ishod Wair, David Gravette, Lizzie Armanto, Nora Vasconcellos, Jamie Foy, Leo Romero, Tom Schaar, Pedro Barros, Mason Silva, and Chris Colbourn. What makes this team special is how diverse it is, from Jaws' massive rail destruction to Nora's creative street approach, from Pedro's transition mastery to Lizzie's pioneering influence. Each rider brings their own style while pushing Bronson bearings to the absolute limit. The Bronson team help to develop and test products to ensure every Bronson bearing performs under the most demanding real world conditions. When your team includes skaters dropping massive stairs, grinding mad gnarly rails, and hitting vert at full speed, you know your bearings are built to handle whatever skating can throw at them.

Bronson Speed Co FAQs

How do Bronson bearings compare to Bones Reds? 

Bronson G2 bearings offer superior performance to Bones Reds at a similar price point, featuring better impact protection and enhanced lubrication. G3 bearings significantly outperform Reds with advanced technology designed specifically for modern skateboarding demands.

What's the difference between G2 and G3 bearings?

G2 bearings are the entry-level option with basic deep groove technology and ceramic oil. G3 bearings add micro groove surfaces, max impact cage design, and "Balls Out" technology for superior performance and durability. G3s are worth the upgrade for serious skaters.

Are Raw bearings better than shielded bearings?

Raw bearings offer maximum speed due to zero shield drag and self-cleaning properties, but require more maintenance awareness. Shielded bearings protect better against contamination but create slight drag. Choose based on your skating style and maintenance preferences.

How long do Bronson bearings last?

Bronson bearings are designed to last significantly longer than standard bearings due to their impact-resistant construction and superior materials. With proper maintenance, they can outperform traditional bearings by several months to over a year depending on usage.

Do I need special tools for Bronson bearings?

No, Bronson bearings use standard skateboard bearing specifications and work with regular bearing tools and pullers. However, their bearing press tool makes installation and removal easier while protecting the bearing integrity.

Are ceramic bearings worth the extra cost?

Ceramic bearings offer the ultimate performance with lighter weight, superior hardness, and better resistance to heat and corrosion. They're worth it for skaters who demand maximum performance and longevity, though G3 steel bearings offer excellent performance for most skaters.

Why don't Bronson bearings use ABEC ratings?

Like Bones, Bronson uses their own specifications optimised specifically for skateboarding rather than industrial ABEC standards. Their "next generation" rating system better reflects the unique demands of skateboarding including side loads, impacts, and variable speeds.
