Modus Bearings
Modus Bearings & Hardware
Professional skateboarder Brett Margaritis founded Modus in Australia with an understanding that bearings need to work consistently rather than just roll fast for the first few sessions before degrading into expensive paperweights. Their lineup spans titanium bearings for weight-conscious street skaters to ceramic options that generate less heat and require minimal maintenance, plus ABEC-rated alternatives for riders who prefer traditional specifications. Modus approaches bearing design with a focus on longevity across diverse skating conditions, creating products that maintain smoothness through extended use and varying weather rather than just feeling impressive out of the box. Their construction details specifically handle the lateral forces and impact loading that skateboard bearings endure during actual use, featuring deep bearing grooves and quality materials that maintain performance characteristics longer than alternatives focused on initial impressions. Sometimes the best bearings are the ones that keep working when everything else starts falling apart.
