ABEC is a rating system used by the bearing manufacturers. Usually the higher the rating (ABEC 1 vs. ABEC 3 vs. 5 vs. 7) the more precise and smooth the ride is. The ABEC rating does not, however, determine the speed of the wheel, and is in no way a measure of the quality of the wheel.

The system devised by the Annular Bearing Engineering Council to rate the precision of the bearings manufacture. The higher the ABEC number, the tighter the manufacturing tolerances are held. The ABEC number is always odd (1,3,5,7), but it has no relation to the quality of the materials that the bearing is manufactured from. See similar questions...
