Gyro Engine Gear
Gyro Engine Gear is a bearing-type Spin Gear built around a heavy circular disk that spins freely and works as the weight disk, with a lock mechanism able to hold that disk in place instead.

About This Part
Gyro Engine Gear is a bearing-type Spin Gear built around a heavy circular disk that spins freely and works as the weight disk, with a lock mechanism able to hold that disk in place instead. It debuted with the release of Flame Pegasus and weighs 25 grams, and unlike other bearing Spin Gears it uses a plastic bearing rather than a metal one.
In Play
Poor balance between its upper and lower halves bleeds spin quickly, and its tall Blade Base leaves it easy to knock out against lower Attack types, so beyond the novelty of its locking gimmick the community finds no competitive use for it.
- Debuted with Flame Pegasus
Collector's Note
Must pair with Engine Stopper Base, which doesn't support a Weight Disk, so its status as the technically heaviest Spin Gear is mostly trivia. Its core gimmick is a bearing-mounted gyro section with CEW support connecting to the AR and base only through two bearings, both legally swappable (with some fitment caveats on the top one, and removal difficulty on the bottom). This isolation lets it be launched via ripcord through either side of the base for left or right spin — making it, effectively the first dual-spin Beyblade and a possible ancestor of the later Metal Fight Beyblade HMS/Gravity Perseus/Variares dual-spin line — and it's the only legal way to run Four Layer System attack rings like Roller Defense Ring in left spin. A second switch can lock the gyro section for normal launching, with no competitive use. Its stock CEW, Metal Sharp, is called the best-behaved and shortest choice, aiding stability. The part comes with an unusually detailed, quoted rules section covering three legal launch methods (standard launcher; ripcord-only from the Tornado Ridge or ~3cm from the wall, releasing the blade by hand on 'shoot!'; or launcher plus simultaneous ripcord spin). Swapping both bearings for Shielded Ball Bearings turns it from a novelty into one of the scariest Stamina parts in the format: because the spinning mass (the EG 'weight disk' part and CEW) is isolated from opponents by the free-spinning bearings, it can't be worn down or have spin stolen easily, and its dual-spin nature lets it pick the more favorable spin direction against a given opponent; free-spinning sub-rings like Dragon Saucer and War Monkey further capitalize on this (oddly, War Lion's sub-ring tends to be too small to fit, while Dragon Breaker's sub-ring gets closest to being competitively relevant here). It remains quite vulnerable to Knock-Outs, even from Balance-type Force Smash combos and some Compacts. Collectors frame it as a 'joke' part that turned out to be near the top of the competitive pile. Used on Capricorn Strike G, Flame Pegasus, and Thunder Pegasus.
