The AKURA TI-7068 is the latest evolution in Luftverk’s iconic design legacy, combining 7068 aluminum with titanium rings for a powerful and refined play experience. This model builds on the bold aesthetic of the AKURA MG, bringing new performance dynamics while retaining the signature “brutalist” design first seen in the Evora a decade ago.
What sets the AKURA TI-7068 apart is the innovative use of a hollow air pocket within the titanium rings. This design enhances weight distribution, giving the yo-yo a floaty yet controlled play feel while maintaining the chunky rims that define the AKURA series. The titanium-aluminum construction allows for optimized proportions and performance, overcoming the limitations of the ultra-light magnesium used in the AKURA MG.
Crafting the TI-7068 required creative problem-solving to balance the yo-yo’s proportions and weight. By incorporating the hollow-ring concept, the design achieves its distinctive thick rims without adding unnecessary mass. The result is a yo-yo that delivers balanced, powerful spins with a unique play feel reminiscent of double-wall designs.
Aesthetically, the TI-7068 is stunning. The titanium ring’s concave meniscus is elegantly framed by its junction with the aluminum body. Color options include a custom blue, a Millennium Jade green inspired by the R34 Skyline, and limited silver/raw editions.
The AKURA TI-7068 celebrates 10 years of Luftverk, blending artistry and innovation to push the boundaries of modern yo-yo design. Whether you’re a collector or a player seeking exceptional performance, this release is a testament to Luftverk’s dedication to craftsmanship and creativity.
