Bones Swiss Bearings are a high quality skate bearing manufactured in Switzerland using Bones Skate Rated design and the highest grade materials to achieve a high level of performance and durability. Bones Swiss are known around the world for speed and reliability. Bones Swiss use a single rubber shield for less friction, resulting in more speed and an easier to service bearing. These bearings are for the skater who wants bearings that are fast, smooth and will last a long time without service- even longer with a few cleanings. It is normal to expect them to last several times longer than most standard ABEC bearings. "The standard by which all other bearings are measured" *Skate Rated - Bones Bearings component parts are engineered and tested to withstand the high impacts of hard landings, the high side loads of turning, and (to the extent possible) the dirt of skate environments. Details: Kit contains: 16 pre-lubed bearings Single, non-contact, removable rubber shield for easy cleaning and less friction. Pre-lubricated with Speed Cream racing lubricant. High speed nylon ball retainer for greater strength and speed. Skate Rated clearances, tolerances, materials and lubricant provide the best performance and durability possible. Bones sticker Cleaning Instructions Recommendation We have tried a lot of bearings, but nothing has held up better than Bones Swiss Bearings. I am still using the same set I bought nearly 5 years ago and they still spin free, quietly and there is still very little 'play' or looseness that usually occurs after a lot of usage. My experience with other bearings is they will get clogged up and slow down, creating a loss of speed and roll. The "Skate Rated" design combined with Swiss manufacturing results in a very reliable and fast bearing. You can find the same Skate Rated design in the Bones Super Reds and Bones Reds, but these are made overseas in China and while they are extremely fast, smooth and reliable, we find they begin to loosen up earlier than the Swiss, we believe, a result of the higher quality components.
