Bones Reds Precision Skate Bearings

Product Information

Titanium bearings are also durable and smooth, but they offer even more strength and resistance to wear and tear. It is worth noting that not many reputable brands offer a titanium option.

For this, we tested as many skateboard bearings as we could get our hands on. The test was simply to use each bearing set for an extended period of time, skating each and every day and performing no maintenance. Ultimately, our goal was to provide newcomers the best value options on the market. For this reason we excluded ceramic bearings in favor of steel bearings, although a few of the options on the list offer a hybrid-ceramic variant.

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.
