Bones Reds Precision Skate Bearings

Product Information

Bones Bearings are without question one of the most popular skateboard bearings. Compared to the conventional REDS bearings from Bones, the BIG BALLS bearings are said to have some advantages. We tested the Bones BIG BALLS!

It is important to choose the best skateboard bearings because no matter whether you are a seasoned shredder or beginner skateboarder, they play a big role in how you ride. Skateboarder’s want speed and you can’t achieve this without bearings… and I mean good bearings! Other than that, the BIG BALLS are manufactured with the same precision as the REDS. Like all bearings from Bones, the BIG BALLS are “Skate Rated”, do not have an ABEC specification and are pre-lubed with Bones Speed Cream. The difference between these bearings and the Swiss Ceramics is the quality of the steel racers. But don’t let that deter you from purchasing these bearings. The Ceramic Super Reds are still top of the line.The Andale Swiss skateboard bearings are no match compared to the Bones Swiss but they are still a solid bearing that will last you a good amount of time. Plus they are reasonably priced. Skate Rated clearances, tolerances, materials and lubricant provide the best performance and durability possible When you’re shopping for new skateboard bearings you might notice that most are rated ABEC except for Bones Bearings. Let me explain why Bones bearings are not ABEC rated. During the manufacturing, the team changed from a standard stamped metal ball retainer to a high-speed precision moulded plastic one that could be removed by skaters to allow better cleaning of the bearing. And as a second major feature, the Bones crew replaced the usual lubricant with a special one they called Bones Speed Cream™.

They are inspected twice before being shipped to skaters and offer the greatest combination of performance, durability and low cost in the industry.
