The Bearings That Are Changing Roller Derby in 2025

Let’s cut to it. Roller derby is not for the faint of heart. It’s fast. It’s intense. It’s a full-contact ballet on wheels where every jam, every pivot, every block matters. And if your bearings can't handle it? You're not skating at your full potential.

That’s where Beagle Bearings come in. Built with derby skaters in mind. Powered by heart, not hype. Trusted by athletes who give everything when they roll up to the line.

Whether you’re jamming through a wall of blockers or locking someone down in a final push, your gear matters. In 2025 and beyond, it’s not just about skating hard. It’s about skating smart. And it all starts with what’s inside your wheels.

Why Bearings Matter More Than You Think

If you’re new to derby, you might think wheels or boots make the biggest difference. But seasoned skaters know the secret weapon lives in your bearings.

Good bearings reduce friction. Great bearings amplify performance.

When you're in a sport that demands split-second reactions, tight corners, explosive speed, and total control, you need bearings that deliver under pressure.

Beagle Bearings aren’t just built for smoothness. They’re built for impact. For jam after jam. Bout after bout. Practice after practice.

What Makes Beagle Bearings Derby-Ready?

Beagle Bearings weren’t created in some corporate vacuum. They were born from real skate culture. From the grit and grind of the rink. From a desire to make something that actually keeps up with skaters who go all in.

Here’s what makes them different:

1. Precision That Pays Off

Every Beagle Bearing is hand-polished and precision-engineered. That means less drag, smoother acceleration, and better responsiveness when you’re flying around the track.

When the whistle blows, they don’t stall. They surge.

2. Dual Shielded Protection

Beagle Bearings come with dual rubber shields to keep grime, sweat, and dust out. Because derby isn’t clean. It’s chaos. And you deserve gear that won’t crap out when things get messy.

3. Ready to Roll, Right Out of the Box

Pre-lubricated with a high-performance formula, Beagle Bearings come race-ready. No tuning. No hassle. Just install and start hitting laps.

4. Designed for Real Impact

Whether you’re blocking with force or sliding out in a turn, Beagle Bearings are made to withstand force. They take hits and keep spinning like nothing happened.

5. Built for Every Skill Level

Beginner or veteran, speed demon or positional blocker, Beagle Bearings adapt to your skating. It’s the kind of versatility derby demands. And the kind that keeps your performance consistent.

The Mission Behind the Movement

Beagle Bearings isn’t just another skate brand. We care about more than wheels and shields.

Every set sold on our website sends $4 to Garden State Animal Rescue Center.

Because skating is about community. And so is giving back.

When you roll with Beagle Bearings, you’re not just skating for yourself. You’re supporting rescue animals. You're repping something with purpose.

Skaters Are Already Making the Switch

We’ve heard from roller derby teams across the country. Skaters who used to swap bearings every season now skate harder and longer on a single set of Beagle Bearings.

They’re not just lasting. They’re leveling up.

You can feel the difference in every push. Every crossover. Every tight jam that demands split-second precision.

Maintenance Tips to Keep You Rolling

To get the most out of your Beagle Bearings, show them a little love.

• Clean regularly. Especially after bouts or long sessions.

• Use proper bearing cleaner and let them dry completely.

• Reapply lube when needed. Not too much. Not too little.

• Store your skates in a cool, dry spot. Moisture is the enemy.
