The Stingray is the next evolution of yoyofriends’ high-performance design philosophy, blending the classic feel of an organic shape with the cutting-edge power of a modern bimetal. Taking inspiration from the Koi, yoyofriends set out to create a yo-yo that retains its signature flow while pushing speed, stability, and control to new heights.

At its core, the Stingray is a round-based inner-rim bimetal crafted from ultra-strong 7068 aluminum with a precision-engineered stainless steel ring. By expanding both the diameter and width, yoyofriends has amplified the power and stability, while a carefully sculpted undercut rim design ensures the weight is pushed further outward for maximum spin performance. But what truly sets the Stingray apart is its hybrid profile—blending organic and V-shape elements to deliver unmatched agility and responsiveness.

The result? A yo-yo that moves with crisp precision, responds instantly to direction changes, and provides a smooth, controlled feel on the string. Whether you’re aiming for intricate tech combos, fast-paced movement, or fluid, flowing play, the Stingray is built to perform at the highest level.

Is this the one that got confused with a bi koi?

The weight ring reminds me of Taycan wheels.

Looks like it, I snagged one of the protos/early releases from the BST as a “Bi-Koi.”
Mine looks exactly the same, without the engravings. Honestly, it’s super fun. I wouldn’t have ever known the wiser, would have just thought there were some “performance tweaks” for the Bi-Koi for weight distribution if I hadn’t have seen this come up, lol.

It’s legitimately really good, can feel the Koi influence, but performance and play are bumped quite a bit in my opinion. It’s like a Koi that has evolved into a Stingray. A natural aquatic Pokemon.

The ano on the galaxy is also really cool, like a Galaxy Oil almost.
