Amazing alternative to Swiss Review by Chris

Rating

Noticably smoother than the regular reds these are a great cheaper alternative to the swiss bearings. The cover color a refreshing change as well. (Posted on 9/26/2019)

Awesome bearings Review by Austin

Rating

Just put a new set of Bones BIG BALLS REDS bearings in my Spitfire Formula Four wheels (sorry, Bones Bearings, but I promise the wheels on my secondary/backup board will be Bones Linear 54-mm 81B SPF Fatties) on my ReVive deck + Venture trucks yesterday and skated them for the first time this morning. I usually warm up by just pushing and carving for about 15–30 minutes first, but the ride with the new BIG BALLS REDS bearings was so buttery smooth I just wanted to do nothing but push and carve which I ended up doing for 90 minutes before starting what I went out to do (practice ollies — I’m a relatively new skater). Some of the lubricant had seeped out of the bearings and into the packaging (perhaps due to being on the shelf), which I compensated for by dropping in a couple drops of Bones Speed Cream RF in each bearing before installing, and the result is an unbelievably smooth, totally silent ride (except for low-key roll of the wheels on concrete). These bearings are amazing, not just for the price point but amazing period. (Posted on 9/2/2019)

As good as Swiss Super Six Review by Daniel

Rating

I’m coming straight off the SS6 and these are just as good for half the price. Personally I’ve found the bigger balls to be better than the traditional 7. I have the original Swiss and have had plenty of reds but because of the bigger races on SS6 and big balls, I’ve found that they last longer and they’re stronger from side to side play. They’re also faster and smoother. Glad big balls are an option when I’m feeling thrifty. (Posted on 8/4/2019)

Hope you can handle BIG BALLS Review by Kennyayo

I've been searching far and wide for the perfect bearings. I think i have tested all the most popular brands. BONES is forever the king in the game, the godfather, the real O.G, P.i.m.p. Noe one can beat the bearings Bones makes. I've been loyal to the Super Swiss Six bearings for some time, they are buy far the best bearings i have tried. These bad boys are basically the same at a lower price, not sure if they last as long, but my bet are, they do.
I use these big balls on a different setup than the Super Swiss Six, but as far as i can tell, these preform just as well. BONES FOR LIFE. (Posted on 6/10/2019)

Nice balls! Review by EazyA

I got on my board right after installing the bearings and i was like DAMN. I felt like their is no need to break in. Ready to go out of the package. Very smooth bearings. Definitely better bearings than Reds and maybe as good or almost as good as Super reds. Worth the money people (Posted on 6/1/2019)

You ain't joking big balls Review by Jorge

Rating

Ok so you know when bearing companies are "FASTEST BEARINGS" well this ain't a joke. I'm over here going on my usual commute to the shop and I've been riding the basic Reds, new and old. Commute has a couple of slight inclines going downhill, flat spots, and a lot of bumpy areas because Flagstaff roads suck. Anyways, I'm over here speed checking myself and throwing so many power slides easier because of these big balls. Check em out. (Posted on 5/16/2019)
