Bones Reds Ceramic Bearings
Bones Ceramic Super Reds are lighter and accelerate faster than standard Super Reds because the ceramic balls simply weigh less, and they create less friction whether or not they are freshly lubricated. It is a step up bearing for skaters who already know what Reds feel like and want more speed out of the same platform.
What the Ceramic Upgrade Delivers
These bearings feature grade 5, silicone nitride, hot isostatically pressed ceramic balls, paired with higher quality steel races and a superior surface finish. They keep the single non-contact removable rubber shield for easy cleaning and less friction, a high speed nylon ball retainer for strength and speed, and come pre-lubricated with Speed Cream racing lubricant, all held to Bones' Skate Rated clearances and tolerances. A bone colored shield with laser-engraved outer races sets them apart visually from standard Reds.
A Self-Healing, Rust-Free Advantage
Because ceramic is so much harder than steel, when dirt gets into these bearings the ceramic balls actually help re-polish the steel races back flat, giving them a self-healing quality standard bearings do not have. Ceramic balls also will not rust, which extends their working life even further.
Who This Upgrade Is For
Ceramic Reds make sense for skaters pushing harder or more often, whether that is street skating, cruising to the beach, or running a South Florida skatepark session where salt air and grit are a daily reality. The self-healing and rust-resistant properties matter most in exactly that kind of coastal, high-use environment.
Keeping Them Running Fast
Like standard Reds, the removable shield makes these easy to clean and re-lubricate rather than replace at the first sign of grime, and doing so regularly is what lets the ceramic balls keep doing their self-healing work on the steel races.
