Bones Swiss 6 are where it’s at if you are undecided between them, regular Swiss, or labyrinth. I’ve heard lots of reviews that the bones reds big balls don’t live up to the hype. Mini logo beatings also perform as well as reds, and are $10. Mini logo used to have different shields, and a non nylon race, but the new ones are literally as good as reds. Basically, if you have $60, get Swiss 6, and if you are broke get mini logo.

ive had many bearings but back in the day when i was 16 we use to just get cheap NMB bearings they were like £1 each. but then i got Bones Swiss and thought they were good but i didnt notice or remember me thinking wow these are soooo fast or smooth idk, i never looked after them or cleaned them for many years and i hadnt been on my board for a long time and i went to ride it and most bearings had rust in i could feel and didnt run smooth, so i got new bronson G3s they were sick and smooth and even my friend asked what bearings i got when he rode my board. then like 2-3 months later of skating once a week, i do a 180 over a flat bar rail and balls popped out of one bearing. the others are fine, but i did take the shields off both sides because i wanted to be a cool OG and have people hear me coming lol Mark Appleyard
I have a pair of 20+ year old Swiss bones bearings and red bones. The red bones are rusted out and the Swiss bones are still good, no rust.

It's so much fun to go back in time and see how you've found your voice! Love your channel, dude.
used to love skating roads at like 4 in the morning when no one was around and oakland i swear was the one place you still had people about XD. plus gotta say bones red big balls are probably my favourite middle ground. not too super pricey like the ceramics (course if you got the cash get em) but still last LONG. plus you get to say your bearings have big balls and who doesnt love that.

yea but as soon as you dismember one whenever its cleaning time the ball cage breaks easily and it sucks cuz you would not have any extra ball cages and thats the downfall of the bearing in particular its a good bearing dont get me wrong but the ball cages can get reinforced while in production thats the only problem i have with big balls

What do you think about the bones swiss ceramic ? They cost like $150 from Amazon …. Do you know if they come with labyrinth bearing ? Or is that only for the labyrinth models ?
Can I use one big ball and one reds bearing on the same wheel? I recently lost a big ball bearing and I don't feel like replacing the whole set.
What’s the difference with the bones red bearings with the normal package between the one with circle and dragon logo on it?

just dropped $160 on Bones swiss ceramics and i can't wait to try em' out tomorrow .. I'm currently rolling on a set of classic Bones swiss (steel) and they seriously rule! (Bones Swiss are definitely recommended) but i am super curious to feel the difference with the swiss ceramics I personally feel like bearings are the most important part of the skateboard .. go faster!
I heard the ceramic bearings are for longboards and their down hill speeds, the ceramic just takes the heat better from the long downhill runs. Also ceramic bearings can't withstand drop impacts as well as other bearings. I like the labyrinth or the 6balls for park and street sk8ing.

Wrong. There are two types of ceramic balls - white (zirkonium oxyde) and grey (silicone nitrite), grey are twice as strong as white, whites are 1.6x stronger than steel. They are lightweight, lower friction resistance, high temperature resistance, higher rigidity, higher hardness, have smoother surface, and higher corrosion resistant. Problem is, if you do drops, you still can damage both types, and steel are simply cheaper to replace. Just don't take steel if your life depends on it. I think bones are overpriced exactly to the pain point, where people would go ceramics instead, but slightly lower. They are handsdown one of the better bearings, but mostly due to lower friction.

@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Materials Engineering student here. Ceramic is harder than steel and therefore more resistant to scratching. They will last longer. BUT, ceramic is more fragile than steel ands has lower tenacity. Therefore they are weaker against impacts. So the recommendation above is accurate, if you want the absolute best, get ceramic ball bearings for longboarding and steel ball bearings for skating. If you have a lot of money though use ceramic bearings and replace them regularly.

@@TomasLomba I want to question something that you posted - the durability aspect specifically for skateboarding (tricks). I am a 290 lbs guy, who also uses indestructable Capsule deck with all-terrain wheels (86 mindless sucka). I used different steel bearings and they all start to make noise and increase resistance between 1 and 3 months. And I do cleaned and lubricated those, sometimes full cleaning doesnt fix anything and they continue to degrade. But I have never experienced resistance and noise increase with ceramics, they roll and make noise the same way how they rolled a year ago. What I assume is - skateboarding is a dusty and low-rpm workload. Some testers forget this. Plus they sometimes also falsely assume ceramic to be immortal - that is clearly false, I expect both to EOL at some point. But the gradual degrade of races with ceramics balls due to the abrasion simply doesn't seem to be any factor under this workload. First factors seem to be the damage resistance, dust and moisture under low rpm. We are not doing thousands of kilometers at high speeds either. By the time ceramic variant starts to get minor race abrasion and instability from dents in races, steel bearings are long dead, as the dust combined with forces introduces dents and scratches into both steel balls and races. I think ceramic dents in races are not as fatal as the dents in the steel balls that add to non-uniformity plus increase the scratching of race. Plus ceramic balls are much more accurate in shape, so they always distribute the forces and compensate for damage better. Probably also the reason why they have a much lesser roll resistance when loaded (under human body weight). Price isn't a factor, 8 set of SiNi ceramics costs already around $50, same set of very high quality steel is $40. Nearly same. Only downside I found in ceramics is that they are definitely not for "riders" that spend most of the time smashing their board against the wall. Here steel balls will be a cheaper mutilation material. Also I have never done jumps from 1+ meters or higher, I still need my knee joints. I will be happy to also hear your experiences with both types. Best

@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH The thing is that there are many different kinds of wear and deformation a material can sustain. Therefore you can never say one material is better than others (when comparing steel and ceramic for instance) because it always boils to pros and cons. Ceramic ball will be more precise in shape generally since sintering is a more precise manufacturing process. But the same kind of perfection can be achieved through powder alloys of steel at roughly the same price. Again, steel is tougher, ceramic is harder. Steel will show surface wear, dents and deformation much earlier. But also will cope with impacts much better. (to talk about numbers we would need to know the specific alloys). In a high impact situation, steel will deform but ceramic will brake or crack. As a last thought, one can never truly know the quality of steel used in ball bearings because we do not know the specific alloys used. As a side note, bearings use grease, not oil so be careful to keep that in mind because improper lubrication of bearings results in loads of damage really fast.

@@TomasLomba I think the problem here is that you dont skateboard or didnt try highest grade steel bearing and ceramic bearing, maybe. If so I can highly recommend to try. There is quite large difference in roll resistance, noise and durability, not that much difference in price. The ceramic variant needs some practice to get used to as it generally tends to make board .. roll by itself, sometimes from under the feet. But its is addictive, effortless. Skateboard bearings use either pure fine oil or a mixture of oil with a fraction of lithium or lithium graphite greese. The low roll resistance is very high priority. Some bearings are even shieldless (bronson raw) - but I think its not smart. I never heard of cracking/crushing Si4N3 ball, I think only races take damage. No manufacturer uses pure greese, the resistence it introduces kills all the fun. :)

Bones Reds are $20 and they’re a pretty good bearing. Redz and Big Ballz are $40 which is pretty good price. Then Bones Swiss are $70 which is appropriate for the engineering of them. As long as you clean the bearings they can last a long time. Bearings and truck bushings are two important things to take care of. :)

One thing to note about cermaics, if the balls get busted, you can't rollout with them, steel balls don't get compromised. ceramics are all about the right tool for the right job, if you don't know why you need them, you don't need them.
He should have added the Bones Red Race bearings to the list! I own the Redz Race, original Redz, and the original Swiss bearings. I tested each one in the same wheels, and for a little cheaper than the original Swiss, the Redz RACE bearings are just as good in a speed test. I think it is because with the Redz Race, bearing spacers and washers are already manufactured in the bearing itself. I cannot say though which bearing is best in the long run over time. I am guessing the original Swiss probably last longer.

They're the top bearings on the market and the bearing by which every other bearing is measured. That being said, I ride regular Swiss. I don't think you get THAT much extra for a lot of extra price on them. But Swiss are amazing and a little more affordable.
Swiss Bones bearings used to have gold shields, nowadays they are black.
Which is better, the labyrinth or the six balls??????
#1 The Bones Big Balls are phenomenal for the price and #2 Use SPACERS and your bearings will last much much longer. It will take away the side pressure which is what breaks them
