@da5id were the Summit 2 specs ever released?
Not officially
I was lucky enough to be there most of last week and did a write-up on my substack about the experience if anyone is interested: CLYW x OD Summit 2: Design, Prototypes & First Run
Also happy to answer any questions that I can here. I havenāt been able to put this yo-yo down, I really really hope you all enjoy it as much as I have

Iām glad they kept it narrower than the Leaf. Is the wall about the same as the Freesolo? Looks like they kept that area Summit-like.

I donāt know anything else about price/colorways unfortunately.

I donāt own a freesolo but from photos it looks similar. You can tell we brought that little bubble lip where the wall meets the catch zone down slightly from the Leaf design. Similar to the OG Summit but the hard angles are more organic. It rejects off the string beautifully.
Hereās a reference of all 4: Summit, Summit 2, Chief, Leaf
Width feels right in the middle of OG Summit and Chief. Diameter near identical to Chief.

Freesolo is basically a lower wall Summit profile without the cuts from Avalanche at the rims, the wall looks very similar here.
Also thatās great colour way on your Leaf, was that also a PNWR pickup? Reminds me of the Aviator.

Thatās actually the Caribou team colorway for the Leaf. One of my favorites of all time for sure

A little thinner than I was expecting, a bit bummed for that. But you can definitely see the inspiration from both brands here. Canāt believe itās happening again!
I told them we needed to make it 60mm wide so the jawn kids would like it but got shot down. Same with a 9 dragons version
