The Independent Genuine Parts GP-R bearing set is made for those who are looking for not only speed but also reliable technical solutions. The micro-polished steel races naturally provide smooth rolling, while also playing a significant role in durability. The internal design is not neglected either: a reinforced, custom cage and light lubrication help maintain smooth performance without adding unnecessary weight or resistance.
What sets the GP-R model apart is the removable outer shield, which helps prevent dirt from entering the inner parts while still maintaining ease of maintenance. The other side remains open, allowing quick access to the internal components when needed.
The package includes 8 bearings, 4 spacers, and 8 speed rings, so you get a complete set right out of the box. It’s enough for a full skateboard and, of course, fully compatible with all standard skateboard wheels. Independent has been in the game for decades, and the GP-R set shows exactly why. As a California-based manufacturer, they've always designed with the real needs of skateboarders in mind—and that’s still the case today.
