What Makes Bimetal Yoyos So Powerful?

why bimetal yoyos are so powerful cover

If you’ve been in the yoyo world long enough, you’re probably familiar with bimetal yoyos. Like the Bimetal Shutter Elite and Miracle 25, it’s clear these designs of signature models are used by the top players in competition. But what exactly gives bimetal yoyos their edge?

 

Let’s break down the engineering, performance benefits, and why players prepare to use bimetal yoyos in high performing competition.

Bimetal Yoyos: Two Metals

As the name suggests, bimetal yoyos are made using two different types of metal, typically:

  • 6061 or 7075 aluminum for the body (lightweight)
  • Stainless steel rings for the rims (dense, heavy)

This construction allows for strategic weight distribution, concentrating more weight on the outer rims of the yoyo. That’s where the magic begins.

Rim Wight = Rim Power

The farther the weight is from the center, the more it contributes to rotational inertia. In simpler terms:

 

More rim weight = more spin time = more stability

 

That’s these yoyos feel more powerful. They spin longer, resist tilting when spinning, and can handle long, complex combos. More tricks, more points on stage.

More Speed and Control

One of the best things about bimetal designs is that it doesn’t just add power, it gives players more speed and control too. The lighter aluminum body allows the yoyo to feel floaty, while the steel or brass rims contribute to greater spin time with each throw.

 

This makes these yoyos ideal for:

 

  • High competition level
  • Long trick combos
  • Precision tech tricks
