Bones X-Formula V5 Side-Cut Skateboard Wheels | 52mm/97A
Grippy-but-slidey X-Formula in a lock-in V5 Sidecut shape.
The Bones X-Formula V5 Sidecut wheels are a 52mm, 97a street wheel built for ledges, rails and bowls. X-Formula is Bones' high-rebound urethane that rolls over rough ground like a softer wheel but slides like a harder one. They suit street skaters who want grip on crusty spots without losing slide.
The V5 Sidecut shape has cut-away sidewalls for more stability, less drag and longer grinds. At 52mm with a 30mm width and 14.5mm contact patch, it's light and nimble. The 97a hardness softens landings and keeps grip, while X-Formula resists flat spots and slides when you ask it to.

About Bones Wheels
Bones grew out of George Powell's skate company in Santa Barbara, California. Powell Peralta was founded in 1978 by George Powell and Stacy Peralta, and after Peralta left at the end of 1991 the business carried on as Powell, Bones Bearings and RollerBones.
Today Bones specialises in wheels and bearings, and its street and park wheels are some of the most trusted in skating. X-Formula is its high-rebound urethane that rolls over rough ground like a softer wheel but slides like a harder one, and it's poured into proven shapes like the V5 Sidecut.
FAQs
What are Bones X-Formula V5 Sidecut wheels best for?
Street skating on ledges, rails and in bowls. The V5 Sidecut locks into grinds with less drag, and 97a X-Formula grips on rough spots while still sliding well.
What does 97a mean?
97a is a medium-hard street hardness on the A scale. It's a touch softer than 99a, so it grips better and rides quieter on rough ground, while still sliding and grinding well.
What size wheel should I get?
At 52mm these are a smaller street size: light, quick to accelerate and low to the ground for technical street and ledges. No risers needed on a standard popsicle deck.
Do they come with bearings?
No, they're sold as a set of 4 wheels without bearings. You'll need 8 standard 608 skate bearings (2 per wheel), which fit every standard skateboard wheel.
