The Bones Wheels X97 V7 Double Locks (56mm/97a) is built for skaters who want maximum control, confident lock-ins, and the ability to skate virtually any terrain without sacrificing speed. Combining the innovative Bones X-Formula™ (XF) urethane with the wider V7 Double Locks profile, this wheel delivers the perfect blend of grip, slide, stability, and durability. Whether you're attacking rails, ledges, transition, or rough city streets, the X97 V7 is engineered to keep you rolling faster, smoother, and longer.
The wheel features a clean natural white urethane finish accented by a bold black graphic ring wrapped with a repeating silver chain-link pattern. Centered around the bearing seat is the classic Bones Wheels • X-Formula X97 • V7 Double Locks • 56mm branding, giving the wheel a timeless look that reflects Bones' commitment to performance over gimmicks. The minimalist artwork pairs perfectly with any setup while showcasing one of the most advanced wheel formulas available today.
The V7 Double Locks shape is designed with a tighter profile and straighter outer edge, allowing the wheel to lock into grinds with greater confidence while providing additional slide control thanks to its increased width. Measuring 56mm in diameter with a generous 36mm width and a 23.5mm riding surface, these wheels offer exceptional stability without feeling sluggish. The wider contact patch inspires confidence during fast approaches, transition skating, bowl sessions, and technical ledge skating alike.
Inside the wheel is the revolutionary X-Formula™ 97a urethane, developed over more than ten years by the Bones Wheels factory. Unlike traditional formulas that force skaters to choose between speed and comfort, X97 delivers both. Its high rebound creates exceptional speed while the advanced urethane absorbs vibration from rough pavement, resulting in noticeably smoother rides and softer landings. The unique slide-to-grip ratio allows the wheel to break into controlled slides when needed while maintaining dependable traction throughout every session.
The 97a hardness makes these wheels incredibly versatile across modern skateboarding. They roll through rough sidewalks, crusty streets, aging asphalt, skateparks, bowls, and DIY spots with ease while maintaining the responsiveness and predictability that experienced skaters demand. Less vibration means reduced foot fatigue, allowing longer sessions and more confidence when skating imperfect terrain.
Bones Wheels is manufactured by Powell Peralta, the legendary skateboard company founded by George Powell and Stacy Peralta. Since introducing Bones urethane decades ago, Powell Peralta has remained one of the industry's leaders in wheel technology, with the X-Formula™ line representing one of the biggest advancements in skateboard wheel performance. The result is a wheel that delivers professional-level speed, durability, control, and consistency on virtually every surface.
Whether you're carving bowls, locking into long grinds, or skating rough streets around Monrovia, finding hidden spots in Alhambra, cruising Claremont, or putting together lines through South Pasadena, the Bones Wheels X97 V7 Double Locks (56mm/97a) is built to help you skate faster, smoother, and with more confidence wherever your session takes you.
