Question:

What is the best skateboard bearings?

Please be specific like bearings brand and type

Answer:

Bones, hands down. They are generally regarded as the best brand for bearings. Bones Reds are the cheapest, but they still work really well. Bones Swiss are better and more expensive. Bones Ceramics are top of the line but are insanely expensive.
It depends on what you like.
bones swiss no doubt, but if you want something cheaper but really good get some reds they are really durable and fast
The BEST bearings are BONES SWISS...that's what the box will say Bones Swiss and the box is red and white. They don't technically have an ABEC rating. The bearing themselves have BLACK casings. Trust me, these are the best...they are a little expensive, but there are other inferior bearings that are more expensive by far! I've been skating for 6 years and am part of a skateboard company...these are the STANDARD! I have had the same set now for 3 years! I'm psyched on these!
The very best are Bones Swiss Ceramics which cost around ?129 in the UK. These bearings are the bearings of choice by most pro's because of their reliability and speed. They come with a lifetime guarantee so although they seem expensive in the short term, they will pay for themselves in the long term. There is a whole range of Bones bearings, and they are all very good but to clarify the very BEST bearings available in the world..... must be Bones Swiss Ceramics! The Ceramic balls make rusting not an issue, which can be with most other bearings. The ceramic ball bearings also self clean; they are much stronger than any dust and dirt that might get inside and will actually grind any unwanted dirt to nothing. Bones suggest using their Speed Cream to re-lubricate the bearings to aid in their performance, this is the same lubrication that they come pre-lubricated with before they get packaged ready for distribution.
