I can’t decide! Which one of the two and state your reason why you chose it? ---

Have not tried the XCon Pro, but I really like the Cafe Racer. It’s a great take-everywhere kind of yoyo. ---

I have both. I like the XCon Pro very much. It is undersized - but super stable. This makes it great for 1A and 5A. The rims are plastic - so any dings are a bit easier to take. Plus the XCon comes with both slim and standard bearings for responsive/unresponsive play. The Cafe Racer is also a good yoyo. I do not think it is the best that OneDrop makes though. To me, the Cafe Raver has always been a bit tippy and easily loses its speed. But that it probably more because I suck than the fault of the Cafe Racer 🙂 All said - both my son and I play the XCon Pro way more than we play the Cafe Racer. Now, the Code 1 - that’s another story… ---

It looks like mixed opinions…Theyre both great, but I feel the Cafe Racer has a little edge over the X-con Pro, dunno what it is, just my preferances I guess. ---

^^ The XCon has superior spin and stability. The Cafe Racer may be a bit more comfortable especially on the harder binds.
