What are the differences in our lubricants?

Keep your bearings spinning smoothly mile after mile! We offer four different types of lubricants. Please read below for information on each.

First is our VCRC Speed Cream Grease. It is our original grease and long stood as our premium lubricant. It is still very advanced and has been used for over 10 years to make our bearings. It has been recently surpassed by our VCRC Racing Cream but that doesn't mean it is being phased out. On the contrary, this lube will still make a fast bearing and it is much more affordable. Unlike our Racing Cream, which is a thin, long wearing lube, we designed this grease to start sticky and then with use, it turns very smooth and fast! VCRC Speed Cream Grease is blue. This grease is available as an option when ordering our bearings.

Second is our VCRC Advanced Speed Cream. 
Building upon our original Speed Cream, Advanced Speed Cream introduces a friction reducing ingredient that when paired with our ceramic bearings, reduces friction even more! This grease is useful in maintaining older bearings in particular as the friction reducing agent can help to repair races that are starting to wear out. We designed this grease to start sticky and then with use, it turns very smooth and fast! Use less of this (compared to our Speed Cream) as it is thicker and more advanced. If your bearings are wearing out and new grease doesn't help, please consider our factory rebuild program where we take apart your bearings, replace worn parts and send back a like new bearing.


Third is our VCRC Racing Cream. Our mad lubrication guru has done it again! Our newest grease is called VCRC Racing Cream. VCRC Racing Cream is the pinnacle of grease and is designed to be thinner and faster than our Speed Cream yet also more long lasting with better performance.. VCRC Racing Cream is a premium lubrication that provides the BEST performance for all ceramic bearings. VCRC Racing Cream works very well in both cold weather and hot weather. VCRC Racing Cream is white. This grease is available as an option when ordering our bearings.

Our fourth and final option (available on select items) is our VCRC Liquid Lube. We upgrade the races and use a special liquid lube that provides a very fast bearing, ideal for race situations. It is slightly faster than our Racing Cream, with the downside being since it is liquid, you have to re-apply the lube more often.This grease is available as an option when ordering our bearings. We do not sell this grease by itself, it is supplied when ordering our Liquid bearings.
All of our lubricants have excellent water resistance & rust protective properties and provide superior oxidation stability, rust and corrosion protection & resistance to water contamination.
