Less play same speed. Go-to for park too Review by Chester

Rating

I have skateboarded for 35 years, the best bearings manufacturer I have found is bones, I liked superreds best but now I like these race even better. Less play same speed. I swap wheels a lot based on what I am skating(skatepark to cruising) and these make it quicker(don't have to keep track of washers) . easy to set up, no washer or spacer, easy to change out wheels, you can tighten the nut a bit more and it still spins great w less play. Not just for longboards, the built in spacer is smart.

Go w these, don't get em wet, keep the shield on em, clean n lube once in a while, and they will last for years.

BTW tried Bronson, don't believe the hype. Not as durable as bones. Buy from reputable dealer to avoid fakes. (Posted on 8/27/2019)

These are some great bearings. Added them to some cruiser wheels on my sidewalk surfer. (Posted on 6/21/2019)

If you're not using these then what are you doing? Review by Encourage Skateboarding

I got these and right out of the box they are the fastest bearings ever; I've been skating for a very long time and have run through all types of bearings out there. These are it, right here. They are worth the price. No spacers, no washers, jam them in your wheels and hang on. (Posted on 1/8/2019)

Great Bearings! Review by Christopher McConnell

I'm an old man and just cruise around. There is a small hill and valley on our paved country road though. I used to go down that hill with regular Bones Swiss or Bones Reds, it would sometimes be a little scary for me. Got my new board with Bones Red's Race Bearings, and holy crap. Went down that hill and thought I was going to die I was going so much faster than ever before! Getting my 24 year old daughter her first board for Christmas 2018, and made sure her board had these bearings in them. Highly highly recommended. (Posted on 10/22/2018)

Bulletproof, fast, durable. Review by Kevin

Ok, so bearings schmearings, if its round it rolls right? Maybe. I have been riding REDS a long time. Before that was german speed bearings, NMB’s whatever was the thing at the time except maybe ceramics. So anything under the 60 dollar price point, because lets face it, skaters usually arent from tons of money, and to afford a deck once a month was about the high end for me as a kid. When I made the switch to REDS, there was a marginal difference in performance, but the quality was way up so I stuck with them. There was no WOW factor in the decision, but these Race REDS are another story. They are the secret sauce man. So fast, and quiet out of the box. No rattles from spacers, no washers needed, so nothing to lose, and if you like a dialed ride, you must get these. Faster than a gold plated greased monkey, and you can quote me on that. Once again Bones Bearings and Powell-Peralta step up the game. My Flight Deck rocking G slides and Race REDS is unquestionably the best set up I've ever ridden. Bulletproof, fast, durable. So take it from an old man, if you Have Seen Him, chances are, now you may even Catch up with Him. Do It!!! (Posted on 9/22/2018)

Super fast Review by Jason

If you feel the need for speed than Race REDS should be at the top of your list. There's never any doubt of mismatched spacers which allows for perfect space between your bearings and no need for speed washers. This makes setting up and skating quick and easy. (Posted on 6/2/2018)
