Bones Bearings have done it again. This time, by bringing the legendary speed and strength of Bones Super Swiss 6 to skaters at an affordable cost. We call them BIG BALLS. Bones has created this new REDS bearing because we know skaters are not all the same, and do not all skate the same terrain. BIG BALLS provide skaters with another excellent choice to help them optimize their equipment to match the terrain they ride.
Like all Bones Bearings, BIG BALLS are Skate Rated, which means they are designed especially for skating. They have very low friction, are made from top quality materials, and share a design similar to our popular Bones Super Swiss 6.
BIG BALLS feature six 17% larger diameter balls, high speed ball retainers, a removable dust shield for easy cleaning, and come pre-lubed with Bones Speed Cream to make them faster and last longer. The Bones BIG BALLS construction offers some unique advantages that will appeal to street, park, pool, ramp, downhill, and recreational skaters who can utilize more speed.

Description | Bones REDS are near Bones Swiss performance at a fraction of the cost. They offer the greatest combination of performance, durability and low cost in the industry. | BIG BALLS are engineered to roll faster and last longer by using (6) 17% larger balls like our legendary Bones Super Swiss 6 bearings. | Super REDS are designed from the ground up to be the best bearing on the market at this cost range. | Bones Race REDS bearings are based on the Bones Super REDS by using higher quality steel races, better quality and grade balls, and a superior surface finish. | Take the world class steels used in Super REDS and swap the steel balls for top quality grade 5, silicone nitride, hot, isostatic pressed ceramic balls and you have Bones Ceramic REDS. |
Advantages | Skate Rated clearances, tolerances, materials and lubricant provide the best performance and durability possible. | The larger balls let you roll faster with a higher top speed, faster acceleration, and turn fewer times, providing less wear and longer life. | Higher quality steel races, better quality and grade balls, and a superior smooth finish results in a bearing that is as fast as REDS but quieter, smoother, and longer lasting. | 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 ones are lighter and provide faster acceleration because the balls weigh much less and they create less friction and are thus faster than Super REDS, with or without lubricant! Ceramic balls will not rust further lengthening their life. |
