Bones Super Swiss 6 bearings (SS6) are fundamentally different from our famous Bones Swiss. Super Swiss have 6, 3/16 inch balls instead of 7, 5/32 inch balls. Thus, the SS6 balls are 20% larger and roll fewer times to go the same distance. Like bigger wheels on a car, they create less rolling friction and have a higher top speed. SS6's special design and Swiss quality materials enable it to accelerate quicker, roll faster, and resist the impact of skate trick landings better than standard designs.
Features:
Includes set of 8 bearings, pre-lubed with Speed Cream, 4 bearing spacers, instructions, and a sticker
Six ball design is stronger
Faster roll, quicker acceleration
Removable high speed nylon ball cage
Non-contact, removable rubber shield
Note:All Bones Bearings are Skate Rated to withstand the destructive forces created by high performance skating. This is Powell's way of saying that just using a bearing with an ABEC rating is not enough to ensure that a bearing will perform well for skating, since ABEC ratings were intended for electric motor bearings, not skate bearings. Powell has adjusted the tolerances, clearances, lubricant, and component materials to optimize Bones Bearings for use in dirty, high impact environments - where you skate. That's why they roll faster and last longer than mere ABEC rated bearings.
What Others Say
Worth a change for a world of difference
I bought 16 pcs of these bearings to replace the default ones on my Ripstik G castorboard and xliders. These bearings are worth paying for, as they spin very smoothly and spin longer than the default ones. For the riding experience, I find that the bearings can help to pick up speed faster and also enable you to go faster.
I think Bones have got their own high standards right and they are much better than ABEC ratings used for machine bearings. I think serious skaters should consider not use bearings meant for machines or equipment.
No regrets buying these bearings, really made a heaven and earth difference in the riding experience.
fast bones 6
very fast i have them on my longboard and i stand up paddle with a long pole on it and man it flies compared to my abec 5.
once you break them in.
i put my abec 5 on my other board with larger wheels and my board with the bones6 with smaller wheels roll faster top speed.
they work well and are worth the money go for it
30 year old man who has been riding since i was 6
had reds before and i was the fastes kid on the block now im 30 and still the fatest man on the block. No tricks just speed with style.
no bones about it
These are the best bearings money can buy. You have to break them in but after that they are smooth as a whistle and ultra fast.
EXCELLENT BEARINGS
MY SON IS AN AVID SKATEBOARDER...USUALLY BUSTS BEARINGS WITHIN 2 MONTHS (HE ONLY WEIGHS 98 POUNDS)...THESE HAVE LASTED HIM OVER 6 MONTHS...VERY GOOD, SMOOTH RIDE.
Bones still reign supreme.
Best bearings I've owned so far. Bones has never disappointed. High quality and these things are fast. They glide forever meaning less work. Definitely satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking for high quality bearings without the super hefty price tag.
