Miracle bearings Cronitect ceramic finally available
In stock now: the superfast, ceramic Cronitect bearings!   Kalon Dobbin was one of the first Powerslide skaters who tested the new Powerslide / FAG Cronitect hybrid ceramic bearings. His first test was a fast spinning test. Kalon could not believe his eyes when the time stopped at 7´30" minutes and tested the spin a few times more, always a similar result. He broke his freespin record by about 1´15" minutes. The next test was a blind test with his former teammate DJ Nation. He prepared one skate with the new ceramic bearings and left the other side unchanged. During the skating session DJ asked Kalon if he could have a look at his skates. One side felt slow and his first thought was that something was not correct with the skate. Instead it was the better bearing on the other skate that made his normal setup feel slow... These bearings have been developed and produced in close cooperation with INA/FAG Germany. Every little detail of the bearing is optimized to limit the friction and weight. * The Cronitect steel is about 10 times harder than regular chromesteel and cannot get    damaged. It is also 100%  rustproof * The bearings contain 5(!) balls only, made of high quality ceramics to limit the friction and    overall weight. Balls are made in the USA * The cage is made of POM material, which repells water and garantees super freespin * The bearing is open on one side * The lubricant is high tech synthetic oil * The overall friction has been reduced by 49% compared to current bearings on the market * The overall weight has been reduced by 12,5% to now just 10,5g * The bearings still spin perfectly even under wet conditions which makes them perfect for    rain competitions, also because even afterwards they never rust, so they can be used time    and time again in the rain. All these features make the Powerslide / FAG Cronitect bearing easily outperform any other bearing on the market. But the best test of a product is still in the racing. Powerslide equipped a few skaters at the European Championships and World championships 2009 with the Cronitect bearings for testing. The times of the skaters improved incredibly. Several medals have been won already on them and the news about this superior bearing spreaded fast among the skaters. Some skaters call them MAGIC Bearings and they told us that they never saw such a hype about bearings before in their skating career. Before a bearing was just a bearing, but this new Cronitect bearing is a MUST to have. Skaters using the new bearings are for example: Scott Arlidge NZ Kalon Dobbin NZ Yann Guyader FRA Andres Muñoz COL Nam Yoo Jong KOR Cecilia Baena COL Fabio Francolini ITA Matteo Amabili ITA Felix Rijhnen GER
