The performance advantage of ceramic hybrid ball bearings has been well established in the racing industry, and they are now standard equipment in NASCAR, Formula 1, USAC, NHRA, and many other professional racing venues. They are now becoming more popular in karting and quarter midget racing, where a small performance advantage may separate the winner from back-of-the-pack. Advantages of ceramic bearings include:

60% less rotating mass

40% minimum reduction of friction!

3 to 5 times longer life

Less heat generation

Tighter tolerances and less deflection

Less lubrication needed, 15% grease pack. Steel needs 40%
