At its core, the [Stingray](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/stingray-yoyo-by-yoyofriends?_pos=1&_sid=064b24d1b&_ss=r) 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](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/stingray-yoyo-by-yoyofriends?_pos=1&_sid=064b24d1b&_ss=r) 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](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/stingray-yoyo-by-yoyofriends?_pos=1&_sid=064b24d1b&_ss=r) is built to perform at the highest level.

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.
