Overview
The Helo Swiss Bearings boast elite-level speed that was designed to last. They come with polished raceways that are pre-lubricated, meaning they are ready to rock and roll right out of the box. The chrome steel construction was built with super-high tolerances to withstand the toughest of conditions. The backsides are removable so the bearings can be quickly and easily serviced for better, longer-term performance.

Customer Reviews
Bones Reds are fasterPicked up a pair of Revel 2 skates for my son as a previous reviewer did and noticed these bearings were preinstalled. We have the exact same wheels on my kid's Revel 3's but with Bones Reds bearings. The difference in performance is not only noticeable, but it's also astonishing. Lucky to get a 10-second spin out of the Helo's whereas the Bones Reds (yes the basic China ones) spin for about 3 times as long. The Helo's are definitely quieter but you would think that for a $400 pair of skates, you would be able to have a much better out-of-the-box experience. I will try to lubricate the bearings, which I'm sorry, is a giant pain, and see if that makes any appreciable difference. If it doesn't I'm swapping these out for a fresh set of Reds.
Fast and quietThese are some good bearings to be honest. Fast and quiet. These came in Alkali Revel 2 skates and they are fast. 9/10. For me personally, I like loud bearings so that made the bearings a minus 1 for me. But besides that, these are a great set or SWISS.
