Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings different from Bones Reds or Super Reds?
Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings use Grade 5 silicon nitride ceramic balls instead of the steel balls found in Bones Reds and Super Reds, which are lighter, harder, and more resistant to dirt and moisture. Bones Reds are manufactured in China at a lower cost, while the Swiss line, including the Swiss Ceramics, is manufactured in Switzerland to a tighter tolerance. Skaters consistently describe the jump from Reds to Swiss Ceramics as a noticeable difference in acceleration and top speed, not just a minor upgrade.
Are Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings worth the price over cheaper bearings?
Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings sit at the top of the Bones lineup, and skaters who make the switch commonly report the difference in roll speed is immediate and noticeable compared to standard steel bearings. Because ceramic balls resist dirt and moisture better than steel, they also tend to need less frequent cleaning to maintain that performance. The tradeoff is a higher upfront cost, which is why many skaters try Bones Reds or Super Reds first before deciding whether the ceramic upgrade fits their riding frequency.
How long do Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings typically last?
Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings are built to the same Skate Rated tolerances as the rest of the Swiss line, and Bones states they can last several times longer than standard ABEC-rated bearings under normal use. Long-time users commonly report getting years of use from a single set with proper maintenance, especially compared to low-cost steel bearings that wear out or seize much sooner. Keeping the removable rubber shields clean is the main maintenance step needed to get that extended lifespan.
Do Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings work well on cruisers and commuter boards?
Yes, ceramic bearings like the Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings are especially well suited to cruisers and commuter longboards because they resist rust and moisture damage better than steel, which matters for boards ridden regularly in varied weather. Since ceramic balls also continue to smooth the internal races as they roll, they tend to need less frequent servicing over long-distance, everyday use. This durability against moisture is one of the most cited reasons commuters choose ceramic bearings specifically.
What size and quantity do Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings come in?
Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings are sized 8mm, the standard bearing size for skateboards, and this set includes 16 bearings, enough to fully outfit one skateboard with 2 bearings per wheel across 4 wheels, with spares left over depending on setup. The set also includes bearing spacers, instructions, and a sticker. This is the same 8mm standard size used across most skateboard and longboard wheels.
