Vivace is Italian for lively and vivid. It is pronounced vee-VAH-chay. Vivace bearings are fast, high performance stainless steel bearings which will bring your yo-yo to life!
Note from Pete: I have spent a long time sourcing these high specification yo-yo bearings. By buying these in bulk directly from the manufacturer I am able to price these very competitively. I believe these Vivace stainless steel and hybrid ceramic bearings offer you the very best value and quality.
Note: ceramic hybrid ball bearings offer higher spin speeds with a lower noise and longer bearing life.
Specifications:

Material of inner and outer ring: Stainless steel S440C
Material of ball: Silicon nitride ceramic G5 Ball
Material of cage: Stainless steel
Material of shields: Stainless steel S304

Notes: The higher the ABEC number, the more precisely the bearing is manufactured. An ABEC 5 bearing will spin faster (and more quietly) than an ABEC 1 bearing. These bearings are shipped dry (no oil or grease). You should lube these before use. We recommend using YoYoJam thin oil.
Don't be fooled by the low prices - these are top quality yo-yo bearings!

Very Nice Bearing
Exactly what the description says, Abec 5 / G5 balls, no marketing hype. Very smooth flat profile bearing. 5 stars for the quality. I don't understand why anyone would use a flat bearing in a yoyo though. The concave Vivace makes a huge difference in centering and keeping the string away from the response pads. Some people on the internet say a flat is just as good as a concave during yoyo play, but that's just not true. Buy both and see for yourself.
