Colossus 3

Using 7003 grade aluminum, this is the third release of the Colossus series.

The third Colossus is a middle sized step-round model. Leaving the size and shape mostly untouched, the biggest difference from previous models is the switch in materials. Between the standard 6061 alloy and the strong, high-end 7075 alloy sits 7003 aluminum, letting Top Yo give you better-than-expected power and durability at a killer price. The savings also allowed them to spend more on the coloring, which is really eye-catching!

Though it has a tight spin, the Colossus III is very responsive to your command, to the point that we feel we must warn you to play carefully when you first pick one up. The 43mm wide body is just enough to nail all your favorite tricks.

 

[Q]uantum

Blue

Quantum combines a 7075 aluminum body with a stainless steel inner rim.

Quantum is machined from the standard 6061 aluminum, and sports an inner rim made of 7075 aluminum; an unusual combination for bimetal yo-yos these days. The body size is considerably large for its width, making this a “tall” class yo-yo. It pulls every ounce of power from its 67 grams of mass. While 7075 aluminum doesn’t have the same density as stainless steel, it is denser than 6061, and has a noticeable effect on the yo-yo’s weight distribution. The resulting body shape creates a unique sense of stability that feels well balanced with its profile.

The contrasting metals also make for a beautiful effect.
