Bones Wheels X97 V5 Skull Berries Sidecut (50mm/97a) turns your setup into a row of haunted berries rolling under your feet. The creamy white urethane is wrapped with a ring of dark berry clusters, each one shaded in black and hot pink with tiny skull faces peeking out from the centers. Bright green vines and leaves twist around the wheel face, tying the artwork together with the crisp type that reads Bones Wheels, X-Formula X97, Sidecuts, and 50mm around the inner circle of the wheel. A natural urethane core shows through the middle, giving the wheel that classic Bones look that’s just as at home on rough neighborhood sidewalks as it is at your local park.
This 50mm/97a X97 version of the Skull Berries is tuned for fast, technical street skating—low enough for quick pop and stable flip tricks, but with enough size to keep speed through lines at local schoolyards and downtown spots. Bones’ X-Formula urethane is all about high rebound and control: it smooths out the crackly asphalt you find cutting from spot to spot across the Valley, absorbing chatter and impact while still feeling insanely quick. The unique XF blend lets the wheel grip when you lock into a carve or set up for a ledge trick, but releases into a predictable slide when you need to shed speed or throw a powerslide.
The V5 Sidecut shape trims the contact patch and tucks the outer edge in, helping the wheel stay clear on grinds and giving you a more locked-in feel on ledges and rails. A smooth riding surface keeps slides consistent and controlled, while the 97a durometer strikes that middle ground where you can still skate crust without feeling like you’re dragging, yet retain the snap and responsiveness you want under your feet. Developed over years in the Bones lab, X-Formula is built for durability too—resisting flat spots and holding shape through long sessions and repeat abuse, whether you’re skating under the lights of a DIY or pushing down familiar SGV backstreets.
Bones Wheels has been pushing urethane technology since the Powell-Peralta era, and X-Formula is the latest chapter in that legacy. From early Bones Double Radials to modern STF and SPF, the brand has always catered to skaters who expect more from their wheels: more speed, more control, and fewer compromises. The Bones Wheels X97 V5 Skull Berries Sidecut (50mm/97a) takes that history and packages it into a small, powerful street wheel with a graphic that stands out without overpowering the rest of your setup.
