Huatian is a new yo-yo company based out of China with a really unique approach to yoyo design. This is the ROTOR!

The Rotor is a slimline undersized model with a really clean and streamlined aesthetic. It is compact enough to easily fit in your pocket and performs surprisingly well for it’s size! It features an aluminum body with a press fit POM cap provides the perfect weight distribution for an undersized yo-yo. It has a speedy maneuverable feel in play with a nice presence on the string to keep you coming back for more!

Compact and capable, the ROTOR is easy to carry anywhere you go and is an excellent choice for your new daily throw!

I’m guessing this is fully unresponsive? (unlike things like the Deep State and Alley Cat)

(dumb question)…can the caps be removed?

I’ve asked Huatian before. Fully unresponsive and caps cannot be removed. I had been wanting a black one to dye the white caps but it’s a no go.

Can this accept a half-sized bearing to make it responsive? :thinking:

Oh well, out of stock, but still curious!

Just checked before shipping out the last one - Yes, you can swap in a slim bearing. Don’t have to change the axle either.

It’s sold out sense I saw it but I saw it at one of the prominent Japanese stores earlier this year. Was hoping it would eventually make it to the US.
