Bones Super Swiss 6™ bearings are unique design that features six larger diameter balls instead of the seven balls used in most 608 bearings. The advantage creates a quicker acceleration, greater strength and durability.
Legendary Bones Swiss bearings are the optimum combination of Bones Skate Rated™ design and Swiss precision manufacturing. They create the standard by which all other bearings are compared. For more than 20 years preferred by the world’s top professional skaters. Proven, professional competition-grade speed and durability make Bones Swiss the most desired bearing in the sport.
Features:
• Single, removable, non-contact rubber shield allows for easy cleaning and less rolling resistance.
• High speed Nylon™ ball retainer provides added speed and strength.
• Skate Rated™ clearances, tolerances, materials and lubricant provide the best performance and durability possible
About Bones Bearings: (By George Powell):
Seeing a need in the 1980s, George Powell set out to find the best bearing that would still be affordable to skaters. He looked in America and in Europe. His search ended at a small, custom bearing manufacturer in Switzerland. Their bearings were faster than any we had ever tested before and, at the time, only a little more expensive than German bearings.
He worked with the Swiss manufacturer to optimize a bearing for skating. He changed from a standard stamped metal ball retainer to a high speed precision molded plastic one that could be removed by skaters to allow better cleaning of the bearing. They left one shield off so skaters could get to the inside of the bearing without any tools to clean and re-lubricate it. Next, they adjusted the tolerances and clearances to allow the bearing to take the combination side and vertical loads imposed by skating better than normal bearings do (which are mostly designed for electric motors). Finally, they replaced the usual lubricant with a special one called Bones Speed Cream.
Re-engineering this fine bearing for skating produced the fastest, most sought after, most competition successful bearing in the history of our sport. In fact, it is still the fastest bearing you can buy for skating even after all these years and after many other companies have packaged and hyped you to buy their ABEC-1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 “super bearings” with cartoon characters, racy names or whatever.
They test all their bearings with custom equipment made to compare the important qualities of bearings like drag and vibration at high speeds and extended roll at low and medium speeds. Then they have their team ride the bearings until the bearings “die” to see how long they will last and how they perform in actual skating environments. Some of the bearings you will see advertised or sold in shops are junk and some are pretty good, but Bones Swiss are usually the best.
