\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tBones Wheels are among the most popular skateboard wheels. With the X-Formula (XF), Bones<\/a> presents a new urethane compound that is supposed to skate perfectly, even on “crusty” grounds. We have checked for you what the Bones X-Formula Wheels can do.\r\n\t\t<\/strong>\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

\r\n\t\tWhat characterizes Bones X-Formula wheels?\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t

\r\n\t\tThe new urethane formula joins the wave of “soft wheels that slide like hard ones”. Although the wheel has not been reinvented, Bones advertises the X-Formula with some remarkable advantages:\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

  • \r\n\t\t\t\t\tTerrain:<\/strong> The wheels roll over rough ground like softer wheels would, but slide like hard wheels. In addition, they absorb vibrations and lighter impacts.\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t
  • \r\n\t\t\t\t\tSpeed:<\/strong> The wheels roll smoother and faster on any terrain.\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t
  • \r\n\t\t\t\t\tGrip & Slide:<\/strong> The wheels slide and grip when you need it.\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t
  • \r\n\t\t\t\t\tDurability:<\/strong> The wheels roll smoothly, fast and for a long time.\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

    \r\n\t\tSounds a little like the wheel that can do it all. Ultimately, Bones invested 10 years of development into the X-Formula. The result is new wheels that are supposed to be life-changing.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t

    \r\n\t\t\t\tFor my review, I unboxed a set of Bones X-Formula 99A 54 mm wheels and put them on my setup. I chose the V5 shape because it was the most similar to my regular wheels (Spitfire OG Classics).\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\"Bones\r\n\t\t\t

    \r\n\t\t\t\tUpon unpacking, the urethane of the XF wheels felt a little softer than I’m used to from the new 99A wheels. Other than that, I didn’t notice anything special about the wheels. Inserting the bearings was no problem and went down smoothly.\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\"Bones\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

    \r\n\t\t\t\tI started the test in a familiar skate park with the very smooth ground. Powerslides are an absolute must for me here. During my first laps in the park, I did not trust the new Bones wheels over the way. They rolled very fast but felt a bit too sticky like most new wheels.\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t
