Bones Reds Precision Skate Bearings

Product Information

Bones Reds provide almost the same level of performance as the Bones Swiss and yet they come at a fraction of the cost. Developed in China, these bearings offer the best mixture of speed, durability and strength for a price that is affordable for all skaters. Bones Reds are made from top quality materials, feature high speed ball retainers and come pre-lubed with Speed Cream, which makes them even faster as well as long lasting. Speed Cream is a lubricant specially designed by Bones to complement their bearings. Due to its high temperature and low viscosity, Speed Cream reduces friction and protects against corrosion.

If you skate near the ocean, sand and dust can easily enter your bearings, so it's important to choose bearings that have a Labyrinth Rubber Shield on both sides. The Dragon Bearing range by Fireball Supply Co. is an excellent example of such bearings. Although many bearings have rubber shields, Labyrinth shields are different from regular rubber shields, such as those found on Bones Reds. The Labyrinth shield connects to both the inner and outer race of the bearing, while the regular rubber shield only connects to the outer race. As a result, dirt and debris can still get inside, between the shield and the inner race, reducing the lifespan of the bearing.
