The Independent GP-S bearing set delivers exactly what an experienced skateboarder is after: reliable speed, easy maintenance, and durability that truly holds up to regular skatepark sessions. These bearings are built with micro-polished steel races, which not only provide a smoother ride but also reduce wear, helping them last longer.
One of the standout features of the GP-S model is the crimped metal outer shield on one side, while the other side remains open. This smart design makes cleaning easier while still protecting the inner components from debris. The custom heavy-duty cage inside, paired with light oil lubrication, ensures quick response and low rolling resistance.
The set includes 8 bearings, enough for a complete skateboard, and they’re compatible with all standard skateboard wheels. Decades of experience stand behind the Independent name, and you can feel that heritage in every GP-S bearing. This California-based brand didn’t become a staple of skateboarding culture by accident.
