Same deal applies.? “Better” bikes have actual sealed bearings (aka cartridge), the rest have the old school cup & cone assembly.? These days most of them at least have caged balls (probably speeds up assembly) rather than the loose balls where you always lose one.

Often you’ll have both, a bearing at the top & race at the bottom.

Wheels can be either bearing or cup & cone, mostly the latter.

I remain unconvinced bearings are better than cup & cone, I will admit they’re less fiddly to service though.

Most of the parts on better bikes have sealed bearings in just about everything, including pedals and derailleur pulleys. The one thing on my 2006 Trek Madona that doesn't are the brake calipers, they have loose ball bearings.
