Why buy Bones Bearings?

Q

What is the difference between Bones Swiss and Bones Reds?

A

Bones Swiss bearings are crafted in Switzerland with premium materials, offering unmatched speed and longevity. Bones Reds are manufactured in China to the same precise specifications but use slightly cheaper materials, providing near‑Swiss performance at a more affordable price.

Q

Are Bones bearings good for all types of skating?

A

Yes. Bones bearings are used by street, park, vert and longboard skaters alike. They perform reliably under various conditions thanks to their quality construction and Speed Cream lubrication.

Q

What makes Bones bearings last longer than others?

A

Bones bearings feature precision‑ground races, high‑grade steel or ceramic balls, Speed Cream lubricant and removable rubber shields that keep debris out and allow easy cleaning. This combination ensures smooth spinning and reduces wear.

Q

How often should I clean Bones bearings?

A

Clean them whenever you notice reduced speed or noise. Remove the rubber shields, soak bearings in a cleaning solution, dry them thoroughly and reapply Speed Cream. Regular maintenance extends bearing life and performance.

Q

Do Bones bearings come pre‑lubricated?

A

Yes. All Bones bearings are pre‑lubricated with Speed Cream, which reduces friction and helps the bearings run smoothly from the first ride.

Q

Are Bones Swiss Ceramics worth it?

A

Bones Swiss Ceramics replace steel balls with ceramic ones, making them lighter, faster and more resistant to heat and dirt. They’re the most expensive option but deliver top‑level speed and durability for serious riders.

Q

How do I choose between standard Reds, Super Reds and Bones Swiss?

A

Standard Reds are a cost‑effective option for everyday riders, Super Reds use higher‑quality steel and a polished finish, while Bones Swiss offers premium materials and precision assembly for maximum performance. Choose based on your budget and skating demands.
