The Independent Genuine Parts GP-R bearing set is made for those who demand not just speed, but reliable technical solutions. The micro-polished steel races naturally provide smooth rolling, while also significantly contributing to durability. The internal design is just as refined: a reinforced, custom cage and light oil lubrication support a smooth ride without adding unnecessary weight or resistance.
What sets the GP-R model apart is the removable outer shield, designed to keep dirt out while still offering the benefit of easy 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're getting a complete setup right out of the box. It's enough for one 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 brand, they've always developed with real skaters in mind—and that hasn’t changed.
