Bronson Speed Co. designs skateboard bearings around the punishment of real sessions: side impacts, dirt and constant changes in load. Its G2, G3 and RAW families use different approaches to shielding and raceway construction. The G3 line employs deeper grooves and serviceable shields, while RAW bearings deliberately remove shields from the design.
These details are intended to influence how bearings roll and how they cope with repeated use. Protection from contamination, lubrication and cage construction are practical choices rather than just packaging terminology. Bronson's place in skateboard hardware comes from treating a small component as something that must survive hard landings as well as build speed. A thoughtful bearing choice belongs alongside wheels and trucks when planning a setup.
