Say Hello to Centripetal (Motion)

Centrifugal was one of the most popular YoYo designs we have done, and over here at Motion we do things a little backwards from most brands. We typically focus a majority of our products toward the bi-metal market, however, we have been exploring the mono metal designs much deeper.

When we release a mono metal yoyo we want the characteristics to not only reflect Motions characteristics but also perform at the highest levels of anything else available In the market.

At Motion we are enthusiasts first and sales last, when we make a product we want that product to fill a specific gap somewhere. Centripetal does just that.

So what inspired the design?

The design was inspired largely by Centrifugal.

There are some traits on this YoYo that we wanted to achieve, as always, and aesthetics can never be ignored and need to remain just as closely tied to performance.

The YoYo is designed in a way that the rim weight is not compromised by being a mono-metal design, we were able to manipulate the body to not only carry similar rim to body ratio as the bi-metal model it was designed after but also give a similar feel.

What actually transpired was a mono-metal version of the YoYo that surpassed its bi-metal counterpart. The double rim design helps balance some mid-weight while the overhanging rim allows for functional thumb grinds and extra weight on the furthest point of the YoYo but moved down closer to the center.

Wider yo-yos have become more of a trend in the last few years and Centripetal is no exception, while broadening the gap and effective trapeze width of the YoYo you will find the characteristics of much wider yo-yos while maintaining a manageable width for hand feel. The overall delivery you will find is unsurpassed in the Motion lineup to this point.

We wanted to make sure that our second monometal YoYo was as large of a hit as the first one, and we think this design is about as close to perfect for the shape as it gets.
