Ti, Al and delrin… another hybrid? I like hybrids. Sounds a tad expensive with those materials

Vavilos | First Flagship Yo-yo Model
We are proud to announce that we are now making our first flagship model for our yoyo category, introducing the VAVILOS (バビロス).
Official Specs:
Diameter: 55.00mm
Width: 48.00mm
Gap: 4.70mm
Weight: 64.00grams
Axle: M4 10.00mm
Response: 19mm
Rims: Titanium
Body: AL7068
Outer response area: POM Delrin
Surface Treatment: Bead Blasted
The Vavilos design concept was heavily inspired by other yoyos like Skyfish, New Valkyrie, Edolass, and Fulvia focused on a competition-oriented play style. It was developed on and off from our CAD software for almost 7 years and there are some multiple profile changes and material iterations until we found a design shape that we liked based on our play feel preference and maneuverability.
It has a step straight “V” shape it boasts thick Titanium Rims for longer spin rotation wrapped around the wide 7068 aluminum body profile, it also features a POM (Delrin Material) for a smooth glide on the string and minimizes the string friction around the outer response area for horizontal and rejection tricks with ease.
We tweaked the small edges from the vavilos and curved/softened out the sharp cuts from the inner to outer profile not just to make it comfortable on the hand but also aesthetically look seamless and minimal.
On the inner cup, we integrate a convex design similar to yoyorecreation models to accommodate the 10mm M4 axle for thread durability and added center weight for strong bind return even on a low rpm.
Here’s a full 3D rendition of the model
The dimensions and weight are standard for modern competition and we choose this specific measurement excellent for both technical and speed style, the name Vavilos came from our favorite classic mid 80’s japanese show called the Space Sheriff Shaider (Uchuu Keiji Shaider) as Super-Dimensional Battleship Vavilos and adapt that name from its design shape characteristics.
This yoyo will be machined by FPM (Fenghuida Precision Manufacturer) and for more details on availablity you can check out our site page on instagram…
If you reach this end part of our write-up, we thank you for your time for reading this long post and we hope that you consider supporting our passion project!
It was a dream to us to make a flagship model after many years of refinements and searching our perfect yoyo model and I hope that you’ll love our creation.

Regarding for the MSRP, FPM gave us a final quotation for this specific design built so its a bit expensive to make considering its a small run. We are adding extras exclusively for those who pre-ordered including free shipping.
Hope this answers your question

The sad reality of small runs + multi material combinations. Especially when just getting launched.

The design seems so cool, looking at your preferences in tricks and style and also yoyos you like I imagine something similar will come out, this seems a great job from the design can’t wait to see the final product!
Yeah wasn’t trying to criticize. Nature of the business and market. I can imagine that’s also going to be a bit of a custom job vs a mono metal which means more labor cost. We all buy expensive cool stuff all the time. Was just my gut reaction to the teaser description.
Cool yoyo. Wouldn’t have thought of delrin as a lower friction option for the space around the response but it makes sense.
We appreciate your praise! @Albertino
Hopefully this first run of our passion project will be a success and possibly made a full production run if it goes well.

Why the switch from Rayon Poly x100 packs to Rayon Poly x50 packs?
Will x100 packs return?

Hi @skysurveil thanks for reaching out!
Unfortunately the material cost for rayon threads from our new supplier in Brunei is x3 expensive unlike we used in the philippines so we change the bulk counts into half, but the quality has some minor improvements using this different rayon from our new manufacturing location.
But still we have a discount code if you want to save more of your order.
Hope this answers your question!
