Bones Bearings

Bones Bearings - The Original & Always the Best Bearings - Since 1981

THE STANDARD BY WHICH ALL OTHER BEARINGS ARE MEASURED.

Bones Swiss Skateboard Bearings have the best reputation in the skate / skateboard industry and have had this honour since 1981, due to their performance and quality. Everyone who rides Swiss knows how fast they are and how long they last. Testimonials reveal them lasting several times longer than low cost bearings. Skaters who use Bones Swiss do so because they want the very best equipment they can get and know the difference between ordinary and exceptional. Our team is a who’s who of top skaters and we are proud to be associated with each one of them.


BONES SWISS CERAMICS Bones Swiss Ceramics are in a class by themselves. If you want the best there is, this is it. The Cerbec Ceramic balls are much lighter, harder, stronger, and longer lasting than the finest steel balls. Made in Switzerland.

BONES SUPER SWISS S66 This unique design features six larger diameter balls instead of the seven balls used in most 608 bearings. The advantage of this design is higher speed, faster acceleration, greater strength and durability. Made in Switzerland.

BONES SWISS Legendary Original Bones Swiss bearings are the optimum combination of Bones Skate Rated™ design and Swiss precision manufacturing creating the standard by which all other bearings are measured. Preferred by the world’s top professional skaters since 1981. Proven, professional competition-grade speed and durability make Bones Swiss normally last several times as long as ordinary ABEC rated bearings. Made in Switzerland.

BONES CERAMIC SUPER REDS The story of Ceramic Super REDS is simple. Take the superior steels used in our Super REDS and swap the steel balls for high purity, silicon nitride ceramic balls and you have Bones Ceramic Super REDS. Bones Ceramic Super REDS are lighter and provide faster acceleration because the balls weigh much less. They create less friction and are thus faster than Super REDS. When you get dirt into your Ceramic Super REDS, the ceramic balls will help to re-polish the steel races flat again, providing a self-healing benefit because ceramic balls are so much harder than steel. Finally, ceramic balls will not rust, further lengthening their life. Ceramic Super REDS use a bone coloured shield with laser-engraved outer races for identification.

BONES SUPER REDS Super REDS are designed from the ground up to be the best bearing on the market at this price point. Super REDS are a superior quality bearing, using higher quality steel races, better quality and grade balls, and a superior surface finish. The result is a bearing that is as fast as REDS but quieter, smoother, and longer lasting. Super REDS use a black shield and laser engraving to differentiate themselves from original REDS.

BONES BIG BALLS REDS Bones Super Swiss 6 have long been a top choice of pro skaters because of their greater speed, strength and acceleration, but their premium price has prevented their wide spread use by most skaters. We are proud to offer Bones BIG BALLS REDS (with 6 balls) at close to 1/3 the price, so everyone can have BIG BALLS too! BIG BALLS are engineered to roll faster and last longer by using 6, 17% larger balls, like our legendary Bones Super Swiss 6 bearings. These larger balls let you roll faster, and keep rolling right through dirt that slows smaller balls down. This makes BIG BALLS a great choice for skaters looking for more speed and longer life in their bearings.

BONES REDS Bones REDS are engineered just like our Bones Swiss but are manufactured in China to our Bones Skate Rated™ specifications in a manufacturing facility dedicated to producing the highest quality skate bearings in China. They are inspected twice before being shipped to skaters and offer the greatest combination of performance, durability and low cost in the industry. Because they offer near Bones Swiss performance at a fraction of the cost, they have become the best selling bearing in the U.S.A.

BONES RACE REDS Bones Race REDS are high quality precision-ground, Skate Rated™ bearings with removable, non-contact rubber shields and inner bearing races that feature a built-in spacer. The inner race is extended on both sides to provide a more perfect bearing alignment for greater speed, eliminating the need for washers and spacers while reinforcing the axles of your truck. Bones Race REDS are created with the same top quality materials as Bones Super REDS to make them perform well at high speeds, withstand the impacts of rough skate terrain, and outlast bearings with lesser quality materials. They are pre-lubricated with Bones Speed Cream® racing lubricant, so they are ready to ride or race.
