==Stone Face: Gargole==
*'''Weight:''' grams
This Stone Face's sticker represents a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle#Legend_of_La_Gargouille gargoyle] which, in French culture, is a batlike creature of legends.

==Chrome Wheel: Gargole==

Gargole is a Chrome Wheel with a design that spreads from the middle almost like a net: spikes indeed leave from the center while shapes like claws, at the bottom, and a monstrous head where the orb from the Crystal Wheel is inserted, at the top, form an overall part with four sections. The details in this Chrome Wheel however mean that it is filled with holes, making the monster head and claws situated at opposite ends of the Chrome Wheel be the denser parts. The bigger, spiky sections meant to remind more of wings, though, cover a larger portion of Gargole and their sides are mostly even, without interruptions like those caused by the horns on the monster's head.

==Crystal Wheel: Archer==
*'''Weight:''' 5.16 grams
Archer has large curves from a bow protruding around one half of its circumference, with some fancy string details engraved in the rest of the design, notably where the crystal is located.

==Track: Switch Attack 165==
*'''Weight:''' 6.18 grams
Reminescent of Armor 145, SA165 also has a wide, parabolic shape around its core which is completely hollow except for the rigid sides forming the parabole. This latter piece can be removed, flipped, and inserted back on the core of the Track to build another mode which is more likely to touch the stadium floor, especially in Zero-G Stadiums. The parabolic part is not perfectly smooth however, as it has linear ridges going towards the core, and its outermost circumference is full of small spikes like on [[Thief Phoenic E230GCF|E230]] and [[Thief Phoenic E230GCF|GCF]]. Its diameter is considerable though.

----
* '''Normal Mode'''
When the parabole is ascending, with its diameter increasing toward the top, SA165 is in Normal Mode. Its wide perimeter is closest to the Metal Wheel or Chrome Wheel and offers a reinforcement to it.

* '''Zero-G Attack Mode'''
If the parabolic piece is flipped so that it forms a skirt that hangs over the Bottom rather than embraces the Chrome Wheel or Metal Wheel above, this Track is in Zero-G Attack Mode since it reproduces the wide diameter of efficient Zero-G Attack Bottoms such as GCF and CF.
----

==Bottom: Wide Semi Flat==
[[image:MFB_PSF_01.jpg|thumb|Semi Flat Bottoms comparison (3/4 view): SF, BSF, WSF]][[image:MFB_PSF_02.jpg|thumb|Semi Flat Bottoms comparison (top view): SF, BSF WSF]]
*'''Weight:''' grams
WSF is simply a Semi Flat Bottom with a slightly wider flat section, and with a wider base. In other terms, it forms a bigger cut cone than SF was. Two sets of spiky shapes are also on either side of the main tip part, possibly to create a relation with Archer Gargole, the Beyblade this Bottom was introduced with.

==Stone Face: Phoenic==
*'''Weight:''' 1.2 grams
This Stone Face's sticker illustrates the simplistic form of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28mythology%29 phoenix], another mythical creature.

==Chrome Wheel: Phoenic==
*'''Weight:''' 29.8 grams

The Phoenic Chrome Wheel has three wings formed of big, smoothed feathers pointing towards the left, therefore contrary to its spin direction. Engraved claws appear to clutch the orb from the Crystal Wheel that protrudes through Phoenic, while the heads of the two other wings represent the beaks of birds, essentially. The relief on this Chrome Wheel isn't overly complicated: in fact, its sides are mostly vertical, straight continuations of the feathers on the top, creating a jagged pattern meant for Attack.

==Crystal Wheel: Thief==

Just like Phoenic, Thief is shaped in an odd way with some longer parts but also numerous circular protrusions. Its initial release colour is grey yellow.

==Track: Elevator 230==

E230 is a mechanical upgrade to the regular 230 Track. Its core is modified to accomodate, along its whole height, the ascent and descent of a free-moving disk, hence the term "elevator". This disk however does not freely-rotate around the Track like ED145, and its vertical position cannot be fixed. E230 works almost essentially for the Zero-G Stadiums, because its gimmick requires a lot of movements up and down to function well. As the Beyblade comes down, E230 comes in contact with the sides of the stadium, and this contact is maintained all the way to the bottom, which theoretically allows the Combination to keep its balance despite the erratic movements of the Zero-G Stadiums. This allows it to stumble over even less, which is useful since it isn't a rare occurence in those stadiums.

==Bottom: Gear Circle Flat==

As an upgraded version of Circle Flat, GCF is a Flat Bottom with a slightly larger tip, mounted by a huge disk. Instead of its circumference being smooth like CF however, its edges are cut in places to form the shape of a mechanical gear. This gimmick is meant to embrace the curve of the Zero-G stadiums and also create less smooth movement patterns around the stadium for the Beyblade using GCF.

__TOC__

==Face: Gil==
The Face depicts the Carina constellation, one of the 88 constellations in space.

==Clear Wheel: Gil==
*'''Weight:''' 2.7 Grams

The Gil Clear Wheel has an asymmetrical design with a translucent purple color along with light blue details. One side of Gil features a dragon’s head, while the latter depicts the bones of its feet. The rest of Gil is the bones of a dragon's body.

Since Gil's shape is asymmetrical, this makes it very unbalanced. Due to the weight being different on both sides, the Gil Clear Wheel should not be used for any competitive combos, as its weight distribution is off.

==Metal Wheel: Ray==
*'''Weight:''' 29.6 Grams

Ray has a relatively thin, slightly bumpy, three-winged design. Between each of these "wings" are small gaps, which allow the blunt ends of each wing to provide a small amount of [[Smash Attack]]. Additionally, along each wing there are two indents which follow the contours of the Metal Wheel; these indents are pronounced enough to provide additional Spike Attack and work in tandem with the aforementioned blunt ends of each wing. Ray's window to KO the opponent is quite small, as its Smash Attack is only prominent at the very high spin velocities found at the beginning of each battle.

Ray has fallen into disuse since the introduction of RS and other rubber-based [[Defense]] Bottoms, as it has tremendous difficulty KOing such Bottoms. And, there are also numerous other Metal Wheels that outclass it, such as [[VariAres D:D#Metal Wheel: VariAres | VariAres]] and [[Blitz Unicorno 100RSF#Metal Wheel: Blitz | Blitz]].

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
Ray has two different molds. The first mold was released in the Ray Unicorno D125CS Starter Set, and the second mold was released with the Ray Unicorno D125CS Aurora Version, the Ray Unicorno D125CS Booster Set, and [[Ray Gil 100RSF]]. The second mold rectifies the original mold’s breakage problems. The gaps between the second mold are slightly wider and are more rounded on the inner gaps of Ray than the original mold. This change was carried foward to all further releases of the Ray wheel, such as Hasbro's release of Ray Striker.

==Track: 100==
* '''Weight:''' 1.0 Grams
This track is currently the third lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of [[Attack]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] by the 85 and 90 Tracks. 100 usually has no problem with floor scrapes, and while it is generally an outclassed part, is still competitively viable, particularly in Attack customizations where it is able to make good contact with most opposing Beyblades.

==Bottom: Rubber Semi-Flat==
*'''Weight:''' 0.7 grams

RSF, or Rubber Semi-Flat, is an SF Bottom completely made out of rubber. It is essentially a flat tip with a smaller radius, affording it a firm, defensive grip on the Stadium, but still allowing for a somewhat aggressive movement pattern with the proper launch. Its drawbacks, however, are that it has shown major weaknesses against Left-Spin Beyblades such as [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning L Drago]], much like RS. RSF, like most Rubber Performance Tips, suffers from poor Stamina, although it has been shown to have slightly more Stamina than RS, due to a wider surface area, resulting in better balance at the end of a battle.

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
RSF has two Mold variations. The RSF's included in [[Random Booster Vol.7 Beat Lynx]], specifically with the Bey [[Tornado Herculeo 105F | Tornado]] Horuseus 130RSF. This mold appears to be made of a softer rubber, and thereby behaves more aggressively than other molds. This should be taken into consideration when choosing a method of obtaining an RSF. The RSF included with Blitz Unicorno 100RSF is of the harder rubber variant.

===Use in Defense Customization===
RSF can be utilized in the Defense customization ''MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145RSF''.

'''Ray Gil 100RSF''' mainly consists of outclassed parts, with the exception of RSF, which comes with the infinitely more useful Blitz Unicorno 100RSF. '''There is little reason to buy this Beyblade outside of collection purposes.'''

__TOC__

==Face: Bull==
The face on this Beyblade depicts a '''Bull''', which is represented by Taurus in the Zodiac symbols. Its coloring is slightly different from its Metal counterpart.

==Clear Wheel: Bull==
*'''Weight:''' 3.3 grams
Bull's original release colour is red, and features a two-winged design with two small openings between each wing. It is one of the heaviest Clear Wheels with excellent weight distribution. This makes it one of the best choices for [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | HWS]] based [[Defense]] and [[Survival|Stamina]] customizations.

==Metal Wheel: Dark==
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]], while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area. There is thus no reason to use Dark in any competitive situation whatsoever.

==Track: Horn 145==
*'''Weight:''' 4 grams
*'''Height:''' 14.5 millimeters
H145 has two wings with two various protrusions, representing the horns of a Bull surrounding its perimeter. These four points are meant to provide [[Smash Attack]], and they do succeed on some levels. However, because the horns are so pronounced, and because the gaps between the wings are so wide, significant recoil is produced, especially when used in combination with small Metal Wheels that allow the Horns to extend well past the perimeter of the Wheel. While H145 may not be an entirely noteworthy part as far as competitive customizations go, it is still quite a fun part to play with. You can score many impressive KO's with the smash it produces in the first few seconds of a battle, but at the same time, it's recoil does work against you in some battles, causing a self-KO or if not, a severe loss of [[Survival | Stamina]].

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
[[Image:12DarkBull.JPG|thumb|H145 Track (second mold)]]
*'''Weight:''' 4.3 grams
H145 has two different molds. The first version's wings were not reinforced in anyway, so they were prone to breakages in some cases. The second mold which was brought into production a couple months after it was originally released rectified this problem by reinforcing the wings with a significant amount of plastic between the inside of the wings and the outside of the Track. This increased the weight of the Track to 4.3 grams, only .2 grams lighter than the third heaviest Track, [[Metal Fight Beyblade - Track List#GB145: Gravity Bowl 145|GB145]]. The increased weight not only reduces breakages, but it also marginally helps reduce the recoil it produces.

===Use in Smash Attack Customization===
H145's recoil can be utilized best in combination with the extremely proficient [[Smash Attack]] Wheel [[Lightning LDrago 100HF | Lightning]], in the custom, ''MF Lightning LDrago H145RF''. Both MF and RF help reduce the amount of recoil produced by this customization, and RF of course increases its movement speed.

==Bottom: Semi-Defense==
[[Image:09EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|Tip Comparison: SD, D, and WD]]
{| class="wikitable"
|Weight:
|0.5 gram
|Full Width:
|15.65 mm
|Tip Width:
|7.0 mm

|8.74 mm
|Tip Height:
|7.75 mm
|Tip Angle:
|30°
|}

SD is the reason to buy this Beyblade. Just as the Semi-Flat Bottom has a sharper tip than Flat, so too does Semi-Defense when compared to Defense. Before the release of SD, D was the absolute best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottom available, but SD quickly took over the top spot, as is evidenced by the following tests:

----
'''Virgo DF145D vs. Virgo DF145SD'''
*Balance Stadium
*Alternating Shots
*Beylauncher
*20 Battles

'''Results:'''
*''Virgo DF145SD:'' 18 wins
*''Virgo DF145D:'' 2 wins
*''SD win percentage:'' 90%
----

SD is not able to wobble as much as D, so for defensive purposes, D should still be chosen over SD if you are trying to add some Stamina to your Defense custom. That being said, WD would be a better choice than D for that situation, and also arguably for Stamina as well because with the even wider tip. With it, it is allowed to circle the stadium in some situations when it is on a larger angle towards the end of a battle, thus outspinning D or SD based opponents. However, sometimes this does not happen, and SD easily knocks over the wobbling WD custom before it topples over itself.

It really comes down to personal preference when deciding whether to use SD or WD because they are so closely matched. For pure Stamina, it is impossible to tell which would win a given match, but WD would prepare you for more situations by being able to take hits better than SD. Test both and decide for yourself which one works best for what you are trying to do.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
SD is an excellent stamina bottom, and its effectiveness can be utilized in the custom ''Burn Bull AD145SD''.

==Overall==
[[Dark Bull H145SD]] does have a few noteworthy parts, but really, only one absolutely necessary part; SD. SD is arguably one of the best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottoms available, so that alone should be reason enough to purchase one. But, there is also H145 which is fun to experiment with, and Bull, one of the heaviest right-spin Clear Wheels, which is also an essential part of almost all current [[Defense]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] customizations. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.'''

'''''Note:''' Cancer and CH120 were originally released in [[Random Booster Light Vol.1 Mad Cancer CH120FS]] as the "rare" Beyblade, but because both of Mad Cancer's unique parts were re-released as a non-Light Wheel Beyblade, we have chosen to publish this article under the name of its regular Booster release, Dark Cancer CH120SF instead of the original release, Mad Cancer CH120FS.''

__TOC__

==Name Change==
Dark Cancer was re-named Dark '''Gasher''' for [[Hasbro]]'s release, and subsequently had the word "Cancer" removed from the Face, and a new purple design behind the original Face design.

The main reason for the change from "Cancer" to "Gasher" is because Hasbro believed that no parent would buy their child a product named "Cancer"

==Face: Cancer==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Cancer''', the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Its Zodiac symbol is the Crab.

==Clear Wheel: Cancer==
*'''Weight:''' 3.0 grams
The Cancer Clear Wheel featured in [[Random Booster Light Vol.1 Mad Cancer CH120FS]] is of a brighter red, while the BB-55 Booster version is slightly darker. Both are identical in shape and weight. The slopes on the wheel allow it to be the best Clear Wheel for Destabilizers, and the Hasbro release of Cancer (see other version) has made it the third heaviest Clear Wheel in MFB, giving it some use in defense.

===Use in Destabilizer Customizations===
Cancer can be used in the top destabilizer customization ''Flame Cancer 90SF''.

==Metal Wheel: Dark==
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]], while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]].

CH120 is without a doubt this Beyblade's most useful part. This Track is unique as it features a height-changing gimmick. The user is allowed a choice of using 120 or 145 as the Track's height. This is done by rotating the bottom portion of the Track and pulling/pushing the central part out/in, and then rotating the bottom portion back to lock the height. Importantly, this can be done between each round of a match, as it does not involve any part-swapping.

The advantages of this Track are plentiful. Its most obvious benefit is allowing the user to change the height of their Beyblade between rounds; this means that the user can adapt their strategy to counter the opponents during a match. The below customization, Libra CH120RF, uses this function to great effect.

Furthermore, CH120 is currently the only Track featuring a 120 height. This height is useful for many [[Attack]] types.

===Use in Balance Customization===
Long before Libra was banned, it surprisingly found use in a very specific [[Balance]] customization; in fact, it was really the only competitively viable Balance customization at that point in time. The custom is ''Libra CH120RF''. Here is how it performed against the current staple customs of the time:

*'''Versus Virgo DF145D -- use 120 height'''
Even though Libra is the heaviest Wheel ever created, because its weight is focused around the outside, it is still quite agile with RF. On its own, Libra is not a very effective [[Smash Attack]] Wheel, but its weight distribution in combination with the fast moving RF allow it to achieve an astonishing 90% win rate against [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]] DF145D. 120 height must be used in order for the Metal Wheels to make contact or it won't work.

*'''Versus Quetzalcoatl 90RF -- use 145 height'''
By switching to 145 height, the Track will absorb all of the hits dealt by [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]]. The weight of Libra combined with the grip of RF give it enough defense to withstand most attacks, and again, the win rate is 90%.

*'''Versus MF Libra C145WB -- use 120 height'''
The win ratio against the top tier [[Defense]] combo isn't that great -- only about 60% -- but this still isn't bad, considering how strong it is against the other two types. If you can avoid using this combo against Defense-types, you should, but if you're forced into that situation you can win with a perfect shot and a little luck.

To effectively use this custom, you absolutely had to be able to perform [[Sliding Shoot]] because the window for landing a successful attack was much smaller than with other Storm or Quetzalcoatl-based Attackers. A skilled Blader could use this customization as an answer to almost anything that is thrown at them. However, during the time Libra was banned, this custom's use diminished greatly due to the multitude of parts that were released in its absence. It is still usable against Attack types, and Stamina types on lower Tracks, but it is nowhere near as versatile as it once was.

===Use in Attack Customization===
''MF Lightning L Drago CH120RF'' is a top-tier [[Attack]] customization. Use whichever height matches up best with the opposing Beyblades Wheel. This will allow Lightning (Upper Mode) to make optimum contact with opposing Beyblades.

===Use in Defense Customization===
CH120 can be used as an alternative to other [[Defense]] Tracks such as C145; ''MF Earth Aquario CH120RS (145 mode)'' is a viable Defense customization.

SF is is a sharp tip with a flattened end. As a result, SF displays a combination of [[Attack]] qualities and Stamina qualities, moving in a semi-aggressive pattern. Because of this however, the two attributes are compromised, culminating in an average performance in both categories. It produces a movement pattern that, while it is aggressive, is much slower than any Flat Bottom. The increased friction with the stadium floor due to the wider tip both increases its [[Defense]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] in comparison to a bottom similar to S or ES. However, it is in absolutely no competition with bottoms similar to WD for Stamina or RS for Defense. Semi-Flat is meant to be used in [[Balance]] type Beyblades, and as mentioned, exhibits aspects of several types, however it excels in none and thus is essentially useless.

SF's only mildly effective use is in [[Destabilizer]] customs where the low Track used along with the balance of qualities allows the custom to destabilize the opposing Beyblade.

===Use in Destabilizer Customizations===
While mostly outclassed in other aspects, SF can still be used in the top destabilizer customization ''Flame Cancer 90SF''.

==Overall==
[[Dark Cancer CH120SF]]'s defining part is CH120, an exceptionally useful Track which can be used in a whole host of customization possibilities. While Dark and SF are relatively useless parts, CH120 makes this a more than worthwhile purchase. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade'''.

__TOC__

==Face: Bull==
The face on this Beyblade depicts a '''Bull''', which is represented by Taurus in the Zodiac symbols. Its coloring is slightly different from its Metal counterpart.

==Clear Wheel: Bull==
*'''Weight:''' 3.3 grams
Bull's original release colour is red, and features a two-winged design with two small openings between each wing. It is one of the heaviest Clear Wheels with excellent weight distribution. This makes it one of the best choices for [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | HWS]] based [[Defense]] and [[Survival|Stamina]] customizations.

==Metal Wheel: Dark==
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]], while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area. There is thus no reason to use Dark in any competitive situation whatsoever.

==Track: Horn 145==
*'''Weight:''' 4 grams
*'''Height:''' 14.5 millimeters
H145 has two wings with two various protrusions, representing the horns of a Bull surrounding its perimeter. These four points are meant to provide [[Smash Attack]], and they do succeed on some levels. However, because the horns are so pronounced, and because the gaps between the wings are so wide, significant recoil is produced, especially when used in combination with small Metal Wheels that allow the Horns to extend well past the perimeter of the Wheel. While H145 may not be an entirely noteworthy part as far as competitive customizations go, it is still quite a fun part to play with. You can score many impressive KO's with the smash it produces in the first few seconds of a battle, but at the same time, it's recoil does work against you in some battles, causing a self-KO or if not, a severe loss of [[Survival | Stamina]].

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
[[Image:12DarkBull.JPG|thumb|H145 Track (second mold)]]
*'''Weight:''' 4.3 grams
H145 has two different molds. The first version's wings were not reinforced in anyway, so they were prone to breakages in some cases. The second mold which was brought into production a couple months after it was originally released rectified this problem by reinforcing the wings with a significant amount of plastic between the inside of the wings and the outside of the Track. This increased the weight of the Track to 4.3 grams, only .2 grams lighter than the third heaviest Track, [[Metal Fight Beyblade - Track List#GB145: Gravity Bowl 145|GB145]]. The increased weight not only reduces breakages, but it also marginally helps reduce the recoil it produces.

===Use in Smash Attack Customization===
H145's recoil can be utilized best in combination with the extremely proficient [[Smash Attack]] Wheel [[Lightning LDrago 100HF | Lightning]], in the custom, ''MF Lightning LDrago H145RF''. Both MF and RF help reduce the amount of recoil produced by this customization, and RF of course increases its movement speed.

==Bottom: Semi-Defense==
[[Image:09EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|Tip Comparison: SD, D, and WD]]
{| class="wikitable"
|Weight:
|0.5 gram
|Full Width:

|Tip Angle:
|30°
|}

SD is the reason to buy this Beyblade. Just as the Semi-Flat Bottom has a sharper tip than Flat, so too does Semi-Defense when compared to Defense. Before the release of SD, D was the absolute best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottom available, but SD quickly took over the top spot, as is evidenced by the following tests:

----
'''Virgo DF145D vs. Virgo DF145SD'''
*Balance Stadium
*Alternating Shots
*Beylauncher
*20 Battles

'''Results:'''
*''Virgo DF145SD:'' 18 wins
*''Virgo DF145D:'' 2 wins
*''SD win percentage:'' 90%
----

SD is not able to wobble as much as D, so for defensive purposes, D should still be chosen over SD if you are trying to add some Stamina to your Defense custom. That being said, WD would be a better choice than D for that situation, and also arguably for Stamina as well because with the even wider tip. With it, it is allowed to circle the stadium in some situations when it is on a larger angle towards the end of a battle, thus outspinning D or SD based opponents. However, sometimes this does not happen, and SD easily knocks over the wobbling WD custom before it topples over itself.

It really comes down to personal preference when deciding whether to use SD or WD because they are so closely matched. For pure Stamina, it is impossible to tell which would win a given match, but WD would prepare you for more situations by being able to take hits better than SD. Test both and decide for yourself which one works best for what you are trying to do.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
SD is an excellent stamina bottom, and its effectiveness can be utilized in the custom ''Burn Bull AD145SD''.

Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area. There is thus no reason to use Dark in any competitive situation whatsoever.

==Track: Horn 145==
*'''Weight:''' 4 grams
*'''Height:''' 14.5 millimeters
H145 has two wings with two various protrusions, representing the horns of a Bull surrounding its perimeter. These four points are meant to provide [[Smash Attack]], and they do succeed on some levels. However, because the horns are so pronounced, and because the gaps between the wings are so wide, significant recoil is produced, especially when used in combination with small Metal Wheels that allow the Horns to extend well past the perimeter of the Wheel. While H145 may not be an entirely noteworthy part as far as competitive customizations go, it is still quite a fun part to play with. You can score many impressive KO's with the smash it produces in the first few seconds of a battle, but at the same time, it's recoil does work against you in some battles, causing a self-KO or if not, a severe loss of [[Survival | Stamina]].

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
[[Image:12DarkBull.JPG|thumb|H145 Track (second mold)]]
*'''Weight:''' 4.3 grams
H145 has two different molds. The first version's wings were not reinforced in anyway, so they were prone to breakages in some cases. The second mold which was brought into production a couple months after it was originally released rectified this problem by reinforcing the wings with a significant amount of plastic between the inside of the wings and the outside of the Track. This increased the weight of the Track to 4.3 grams, only .2 grams lighter than the third heaviest Track, [[Metal Fight Beyblade - Track List#GB145: Gravity Bowl 145|GB145]]. The increased weight not only reduces breakages, but it also marginally helps reduce the recoil it produces.

===Use in Smash Attack Customization===
H145's recoil can be utilized best in combination with the extremely proficient [[Smash Attack]] Wheel [[Lightning LDrago 100HF | Lightning]], in the custom, ''MF Lightning LDrago H145RF''. Both MF and RF help reduce the amount of recoil produced by this customization, and RF of course increases its movement speed.

==Bottom: Semi-Defense==

SD is the reason to buy this Beyblade. Just as the Semi-Flat Bottom has a sharper tip than Flat, so too does Semi-Defense when compared to Defense. Before the release of SD, D was the absolute best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottom available, but SD quickly took over the top spot, as is evidenced by the following tests:

----
'''Virgo DF145D vs. Virgo DF145SD'''
*Balance Stadium
*Alternating Shots
*Beylauncher
*20 Battles

'''Results:'''
*''Virgo DF145SD:'' 18 wins
*''Virgo DF145D:'' 2 wins
*''SD win percentage:'' 90%
----

SD is not able to wobble as much as D, so for defensive purposes, D should still be chosen over SD if you are trying to add some Stamina to your Defense custom. That being said, WD would be a better choice than D for that situation, and also arguably for Stamina as well because with the even wider tip. With it, it is allowed to circle the stadium in some situations when it is on a larger angle towards the end of a battle, thus outspinning D or SD based opponents. However, sometimes this does not happen, and SD easily knocks over the wobbling WD custom before it topples over itself.

It really comes down to personal preference when deciding whether to use SD or WD because they are so closely matched. For pure Stamina, it is impossible to tell which would win a given match, but WD would prepare you for more situations by being able to take hits better than SD. Test both and decide for yourself which one works best for what you are trying to do.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
SD is an excellent stamina bottom, and its effectiveness can be utilized in the custom ''Burn Bull AD145SD''.

==Overall==
[[Dark Bull H145SD]] does have a few noteworthy parts, but really, only one absolutely necessary part; SD. SD is arguably one of the best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottoms available, so that alone should be reason enough to purchase one. But, there is also H145 which is fun to experiment with, and Bull, one of the heaviest right-spin Clear Wheels, which is also an essential part of almost all current [[Defense]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] customizations. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.'''

__TOC__

==Face: Bull==
The face on this Beyblade depicts a '''Bull''', which is represented by Taurus in the Zodiac symbols. Its coloring is slightly different from its Metal counterpart.

==Clear Wheel: Bull==
*'''Weight:''' 3.3 grams
Bull's original release colour is red, and features a two-winged design with two small openings between each wing. It is one of the heaviest Clear Wheels with excellent weight distribution. This makes it one of the best choices for [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | HWS]] based [[Defense]] and [[Survival|Stamina]] customizations.

==Metal Wheel: Dark==
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]], while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area. There is thus no reason to use Dark in any competitive situation whatsoever.
