Bones Wheels X97 V5 Skull Berries Sidecut (48mm/97a) brings a little dark fruit flavor to your setup. The wheel’s creamy white urethane is wrapped with a wreath of “skull berries” – rich blues and blacks with bright green leaves circling the face of the wheel, framed by clean type reading Bones Wheels, X-Formula X97, Sidecuts, and 48mm. The center cut reveals the natural urethane core, giving the wheel that classic Bones look that feels right at home on schoolyard banks, cracked alleys, and parking lots all over the SGV and greater L.A.
Built on Bones’ X-Formula, these 48mm/97a wheels are designed to feel fast and forgiving on the rougher sidewalks and asphalt you find from Monrovia side streets to downtown L.A. ledges. The high-rebound XF urethane smooths out vibration and softens those harsh landings, so you can push longer, skate farther, and still have enough energy to hit one more spot. Even with that smoother ride, the 97a durometer and special compound let the wheel break free and slide when you set it up—perfect for controlled powerslides, quick speed checks, and lining up for the next trick.
The V5 Sidecut shape gives you a slightly narrower contact patch and a pocketed side profile that locks beautifully into ledges and rails. That sidecut helps the wheel stay out of the way on grinds, while the 48mm height keeps your setup low, snappy, and ideal for tech street skating—think tight shove-its, quick flips, and precise manuals at your favorite SGV schoolyard or DIY spot. A smooth riding surface rounds it out, giving you consistent slide and predictable grip on everything from smooth park concrete to crusty neighborhood sidewalks.
Bones Wheels grew out of the same California DNA as Powell-Peralta, and for decades they’ve been at the front of urethane innovation—STF, SPF, and now X-Formula have all raised the bar for how skateboard wheels should perform. X97 is the street-tuned version of XF: fast, durable, and engineered over years of testing to balance speed, grip, and slide in one formula. From legendary pros to up-and-coming locals, Bones has long been the choice for skaters who want a wheel that doesn’t flat-spot easily, holds its shape, and keeps rolling session after session.
