So I’ve been gifted a wide angle shutter with bimetal styling, but am having a hard time figuring out exactly what this phrase means. Is this actually bimetal, or just have a mirror finished stripe on it? It definitely doesn’t feel like any of my current bimetal, but they lacked the word styling, so what’s up? ---

Its basically what you said. The mirror finish is still aluminum, but it kinda looks like it could be a bimetal because of that, even tho its a monometal ---

Ty. Damn word games. It’s a great yoyo, but the unfortunate wording contributed to this being a Wangle instead of a Butter. Still I will play it with love though. ---

They don’t officially call it that, it’s “polished rim” or something. The community calls it bimetal styling so blame them. Personally I don’t find the term as confusing as other people seem to. Bimetal styling = made to look like a bimetal. Edit: @Mystik has shown me that I’m wrong, they do advertise it as bimetal styling. ---

The styling is on point though. I received a exit 8 as well and both gift givers had very confused faces.

The notion of “Bi-metal styling” was a topic of conversation here on the forum earlier this year. > [@New YoYoFactory Shutter Wide Angle w/ Mirror Polished Rims!](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/new-yoyofactory-shutter-wide-angle-w-mirror-polished-rims/299324): > > [ShutterWideAngle-Polished-Extra\_1024x1024] From YoYoFactory: In part of a theme for 2019 we are exploring Yo-Yo design. In the Massively rim weighted MVP we crushed the myth that Bi-Metal design is needed for rim weight. So what is left? There is the undeniable fact that Bi-Metal yo-yos look good! So in this design we have created the amazing look and style of a Bi-Metal design and we kept the retail price unchanged! ---

I think the main problem was that the teaser photos had a lot of us convinced that it was the long awaited bimetal, all to be trolled with it just looking that way. Now that the butter is out and as good as imagined, I look back on that situation and laugh.
