These ceramic bearings is a special edition of the esteemed and durable Bones Reds bearings. The bearings are lighter and stronger due to the ceramic balls, which extends the life of the bearing. The ceramic balls do not rust, and it will typically crush any sand that comes into contact with the bearing.
You should still avoid sand and water as it always will shorten bearing life significantly, especially if you do not clean the bed afterwards. In addition, you should be aware that the metal ring around the bearing of course still rust.
Here is what they write on the bearing:

Higher quality steel races and a superior surface finish.
Single non-contact removable rubber shield for easy cleaning and less friction.
High speed nylon ball retainer for Greater strength and speed.
Pre-lubricated with Speed Cream ™ racing lubricant.
Skate Rated ™ clearances, tolerances, materials and lubricant Provider the best performance and durability possible.

KarlssonNybro, SwedenVerified Buyer2 of 5Absolutely NOT worth the money. Not noticeably better, (than my enuff Black 160kr) rolls slightly nicer but absolutely not worth a penny more than 500 krGöran LarssonRåda, SwedenVerified Buyer5 of 5Cannon stock , o fast delivery.Bardhok BicakuArlöv, Sweden2 of 5worked great first 3 weeks not worth the moneyReply from SkateProWhat a pity that the ball bearings rolled worse after 3 weeks. If you ride with ball bearings when it is wet or dirty, it gets into the ball bearings and impairs the roll. However, these are open ball bearings that you can open up and clean so that they roll better again. You can read more about this at https://www.skatepro.se/a4.htm
/NiklasSusanne t.Kalmar, SwedenVerified Buyer5 of 5Incredibly good roll and completely silent running. If I turn the board and spin a wheel, it keeps running for around 5 minutes. I was very surprised by the quality which must be among the best on the market! The product is WELL WORTH its price.Marika Johansson DehmanÄlmhult, Sweden3 of 5Satisfieddaniel nielsenhobro, Denmark4 of 5Really good bearings! In the beginning you get a sense of speed that you never get from regular bearings, however, I would not recommend these for extreme sports as the price is a bit too high compared to the durability.
