This makes BIG BALLSa great choice for skaters looking for more speed and longer life in their bearings. Besides the blue shields, the most obvious difference between BIG BALLS and REDS is the number of balls inside the bearings. All of Bones Bearings come lubricated with their special Bones Speed Cream oil which we also sell seperatley so you can service and relubricate your skateboard bearings. And finally in terms of gear experience these are my 4th set of bearings, the others being Bones Super REDS, Diamond Smoke Rings, and Wicked ABEC 7 Bearings.

The New Bones Swiss L2 bearings feature a new shield that reduces drag and increases the overall speed of the bearing.Their Bones Reds Bearings are probably the best selling skateboard bearing in the world and their Bones Swiss bearings are known as the bearings the pro's skate as they're super fast and long lasting.

Strength, This is really important in my aggressive skating, as I ended up absolutely demolishing my Smoke Rings in 2 months. Thanks for taking the time to read this, hopefully this review finds you well and helps you with your bearing choices. I've cleaned and re lubed these guys about once a month, ive never noticed a "post factory cleaning" performance drop either. You just make it tight and the bearings allow for the wheel to spin freely without backing off the nut.Super REDS™ are a superior bearing, using higher quality steel races, better quality and grade balls, and a superior surface finish. Freestyle, Flow, and Aggressive are my styles of choice so sorry to you speed skating fans out there looking for an opinion on getting these for your 100mm tri-skates, but this still might be useful to you so please read on. The racers in the RAW’s (the metal rings) have a micro-thin tungsten lubricant coating keeping the bearings rolling smoother for longer. Compared to the conventional REDS bearings from Bones, the BIG BALLS bearings are said to have some advantages.

High precision and small tolerances are required for bearings that run at an extremely high RPM such as in certain tools that spin at 30,000 RPM.The most iconic and classic bearings on the market, Bones REDS are the most used bearings in skateboarding, and for good reason. Bones Reds are proven to to be tough and long lasting with their super finished chromium steel balls and races. These things after 4 months still feel like new, even after being crunched under vert jumps, pump tracks, and through constant beatings of beach sand.

A precision ground extended race eliminates the need for speed rings and spacers and provides better alignment of the bearings when the axle nut is tightened.These larger balls let you roll faster, and keep rolling right through dirt that slows smaller balls down. Bones Swiss Skateboard Bearings have the best reputation in the skateboard industry and have had this honor since 1981, due to their performance and quality.
