Description
Polta comes from Takara's original 4 Layer System line, first sold as a Booster in August 1999 before Hasbro carried it into the Beyblade VForce toyline. Its Bit Chip takes its name and design straight from the character Polta in Next Generation Beigoma Battle: Beyblade, sitting above a Tri-Cutter Attack Ring, a Wide Weight Disk and a Sharp Blade Base built for stamina play.

Parts in detail
No specific release history is given beyond the parts it shares with Spark Knight and Saizo (Tri Cutter and Sharp Base), suggesting a shared product family.
| Slot | Part | Weight | Spin | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Ring | Tri Cutter (aka Trycutter, Tricutter) | 2.2 g | Right only | One of the two lightest Attack Rings of the generation (alongside Star Shape); small enough to mostly avoid contact under Wide Survivor, but its shape is so recoil-prone that it inevitably gets hit late in a match, hurting Survival, Spin-Stealing, Compact, and Defensive use, and it has no worthwhile contact points for Attack. |
| Weight Disk | Wide | 12.7 g | Light with an average, fairly central weight spread — heavier than its Eight Wide successor — but its size still causes recoil despite the light weight; Ten Balance offers a similarly "average" spread more effectively. | |
| Blade Base | Sharp Base | 8.3 g | Some Life-After-Death but fairly limited; the sharp tip lacks stability and defensive ability and barely moves. |
Weights are single copies weighed on their own; a part can vary by a few tenths of a gram.
In play and in the story

Community testing, 2012-02-03 — summarised
The competitive view
A small, compact plastic-generation Beyblade (also released as Ultimate Saizo and Spark Knight) whose Try Cutter attack ring has niche use in unconventional Weight-Disk-Attack and Support-Part-Attack styles but is too weak and poorly weighted for Zombie or Defense customizations.
Try Cutter's small footprint exposes most of the weight disk it's paired with, making it usable in Weight-Disk-Attack and Support-Part-Attack combos, though neither style matches conventional attack effectiveness.
Verdict as the draft gives it: Considered useless for competitive play and entirely outclassed; worth owning for collection purposes only.
- AR Try Cutter weight: 4 grams, three small points plus three larger points
- Original Takara release was clear red; Hasbro release was opaque/solid red plastic
- WD Six Wide
- BB Sharp
