The Bones Wheels X97 V1 Standard White (52mm/97a) delivers one of the most versatile wheel formulas ever produced by Bones Wheels, combining the speed and slide of a hard street wheel with the comfort and vibration reduction typically associated with softer urethane. Built using the revolutionary X-Formula™ (XF) urethane, these wheels are designed for skaters who refuse to let rough pavement dictate where they can skate. Whether you're piecing together lines through cracked city streets, hitting ledges, manual pads, or skating your local park, this wheel is engineered to perform across virtually every type of terrain.
The clean natural white urethane is paired with a minimalist black graphic ring surrounding the core opening, featuring repeating Bones "X" logos and bold Bones Wheels • X-Formula X97 • V1 Standards • 52mm lettering. The understated design reflects Bones' performance-first philosophy—classic, functional, and instantly recognizable to skateboarders around the world.
The V1 Standard shape offers an ideal all-around profile, balancing radius, width, and riding surface for predictable control, quick acceleration, and smooth transitions between technical street skating and park riding. At 52mm with a 31mm width and 14.5mm riding surface, this size remains one of the most popular choices for skaters looking for responsive flip tricks, quick acceleration, and dependable stability without unnecessary weight.
What truly separates these wheels is the X-Formula™ 97a urethane. Developed over more than a decade by the Bones Wheels factory, X-Formula combines an incredibly high rebound compound with a unique slide-to-grip ratio that allows the wheel to maintain speed over rough pavement while still delivering controlled slides when needed. Unlike traditional hard wheels that chatter across uneven concrete, X97 absorbs vibration and softens impacts, reducing fatigue during long skate sessions while remaining fast and highly responsive.
Because the urethane naturally dampens rough terrain, these wheels roll noticeably smoother over crusty sidewalks, aging asphalt, rough schoolyards, and imperfect streets without feeling sluggish. At the same time, they retain the crisp release and predictable slide characteristics that technical street skaters demand. The result is a wheel that feels equally comfortable at skateparks, downtown plazas, neighborhood curbs, and everyday street spots.
Bones Wheels is manufactured by Powell Peralta, the legendary company founded by George Powell and Stacy Peralta. Since the late 1970s, Powell Peralta has consistently pushed skateboard wheel technology forward, with Bones Wheels becoming the benchmark for speed, durability, and urethane innovation. The introduction of X-Formula™ represents another major advancement, giving skaters a wheel capable of handling modern terrain without sacrificing performance.
Whether you're rolling through Monrovia, linking street spots in Alhambra, skating parks in Claremont, or cruising the sidewalks of South Pasadena, the Bones Wheels X97 V1 Standard White (52mm/97a) provides the confidence to skate more lines, more comfortably, and with more speed than traditional hard wheels.
