Skate Rated™ - Skate Rated bearings are engineered and tested by Bones Wheels to withstand the high impacts of hard landings and the high side loads of turning. These bearings roll faster and last longer than bearings that use the ABEC rating system. To give Skate Rated bearings an ABEC rating would ignore all the improvements Bones has made over the industry standard. Skate Rated bearings are specifically designed for skateboarding, not electric motors.

Good & Tough
by Rodrigo Ramone

Bones Bearings Big Balls Reds Skateboard Bearings
I'm an avid slappy skater, mostly on my local 90 degree angled curbs. So I put bearings to test and smash em almost on purpose (the purpose of the slappy entrance). I find regular 7-ball REDS are tougher than Swiss, but would still break em and feel wobbly for long period in where I don't know if to go out of my house with an extra bearing in my pocket, which it's still a drag. I personally feel that 6-ball bearings are tough, four months of smashing against the curbs and not a wobbly one. Also I remove the shields and it creates a nice gritty sound, you can even see the dirt sharing the space armoniously with the 6-ball bearings. Soothing.

Good bearings, not sure that I'd choose these again over standard Reds though. They don't feel different enough to me, at least that I can tell.

I switched from riding bones swiss and I can feel the difference in these immediately. More higher end speed which means less pushes to build momentum
