Benchmarks and bimetals

I remember when the benchmarks first came out I really liked the concept. But there’s only so much you can do with the standard basic shapes so making a series every year would likely quickly become repetitive. However, have you guys considered maybe making a benchmark series without side effects? May make things even cheaper and you could probably add a little more rim weight or something different to the designs.

Also, do you guys have any… ANY… plans to release a bimetal within the next 3-5 years? I remember pictures surfacing of a bimetal prototype years ago but nothing ever came out of it and I think it’s something many people have been anticipating for a long time.

Not sure if we’ll do another Benchmark series, but definitely going to do some non-Side Effect yoyos that are focused on affordability.

Bi-metal I answered in another thread in detail. In short, probably not.

My benchmark is one of my favorites. Great stuff.
