So it only makes sense to commemorate this special yo-yo. ![66Pyro-Extra_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/b/8/1b8e5cbd536203c8d6f1a9f204cda2a1388b788a.jpeg) The biggest difficulty in getting the PYRO to 66 percent was how to reproduce the iconic red Pyro. In the 66% series, there is an unspoken rule that aluminum mono-metals were to be replaced by stainless steel, but with the Pyro, there was no way to make the stainless steel to be red, so they went with a bi-metal design. And it plays AMAZING! ![66Pyro-Extra2_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/9/2/e92a8383b9749e63c40e886d3376ff82bdf26c96.jpeg) With the classic Pyro engraving, vibrant red ano, and impressive performance the 66% Pyro is an excellent contender for best pocket yo-yo of 2020! # Releasing Friday 5/29 @ 8PM EDT. > **[YoYoExpert - Yo-Yo Store - Buy & Shop Modern Yo-Yos!](https://yoyoexpert.com/)** > > At YoYoExpert we deliver the best yoyo shopping experience and an amazing selection you can't find anywhere else.

That must be a render because the gap of the 66%er is considerably wider than the gap of the full-size Pyro X in that image, which clearly isn’t the case in reality. ---

Oh, good catch! My brain just assumed it was a 66% Pyro X. Did the original Pyro really have a sub-4mm gap??? 😲 ---

Yeah, that looks like a first edition Hspin Pyro for comparison based on the flame pattern and dark red/red coloration. The gap was approx. 4mm since it was running on a D-sized bearing. The new iYoYo Pyro has a modified shape, C bearing, and the flames are no longer in the center of the gap. These new 66% Pyros look super nice though! ---

The 66% version is listed as having a gap of 4mm, and in the image above its gap is visibly wider than the original Pyro’s gap as shown, so I think there must just be some Photoshop mis-scaling going on there. Either that or the gap in the 3D model is wrong… ---

It does look sharp. Can you compare how it plays to any other 66%? Like maybe the 66% sleipnir or EB 66%? ---

My little shutter and Pyro are our for delivery today… Excited, will hopefully take my mind off of the recent events going on nationally. I will be the owner of 5 66% throws now… Currently owning the barracuda, haymaker, edge beyond. The Edge Beyond is currently my favorite of the bunch but they all feel unique in their own way.
