__TOC__

==Face: L Drago==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts a Dragon, Draco, one of the 88 constellations in space.

==Clear Wheel: L Drago==
*'''Weight:''' 3.7 grams

The L Drago Clear Wheel features three Dragon-head designs formed to create a circle. It carries a few distinct differences from the rest of the [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | Hybrid Wheel System]];
* Left-spin only.
* Unique shape is only compatible with Lightning Metal Wheel.
* L Drago's unique function is mode change. Turning it 180° allows one to switch between two modes on the Metal Wheel; Upper to Multi-Hit Mode. The Clear Wheel allows this differentiation since it covers three of the six protrusions at all times.

==Metal Wheel: Lightning==
*'''Weight:''' 30 grams
This Wheel is characterized by its prominent [[Smash Attack]] in Upper Mode. Of the total six protrusions, three are of the ‘Upper Mode’ and three are of the ‘Multi-Hit mode’. To switch between these modes, the Beyblade would need to be disassembled, and then the L Drago Clear Wheel rotated 180°.

Of the two available modes it is widely considered that ‘Upper Mode’ is superior. Contrary to the name, the strength of this wheel doesn’t come from [[Upper Attack]], but [[Smash Attack]]. Lightning does suffer from some recoil, but this problem can easily be rectified with both MF and RF. Paired with the right Track, Lightning can provide a ferocious Smash Attack.

===Use in Attack Customization===
A current top-tier [[Attack]] combo is ''MF Lightning L Drago CH120RF (Upper Mode)''. Metal Face and RF help reduce the recoil Lightning experiences, and CH120 allows change in height to counter the opposing Beyblade. CH120 is used at the 145 height against a higher opposing Beyblade, and at the 120 height against medium and low height Beyblades. This allows Lightning make maximum contact with the opposing Wheel, rather than the Track.

==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.

==Use in Stamina Customization==
100 can be put to use in the custom Earth Bull 100WD.

==Use in Attack Customization==
100 can be put to good use in the combo MF Lightning L Drago 100RF.

==Bottom: Hole Flat==
*'''Weight:''' 0.5 grams

HF has a very similar movement speed to that of F, with the main difference being a slight [[Survival | Stamina]] improvement due to the hole in the middle of the tip. But, with this comes the detriment of even less grip to the stadium floor than F, and also increased fragility.

*'''Lightning L. Drago 100HF Hasbro Recolor ver.''' - Hasbro Beyblade Metal Fusion Super Vortex Battle Set ( Gold Chrome Clear wheel, Red Chrome Metal wheel, blue track and bottom)

==Overall==
[[Lightning L Drago 100HF]] is a useful Beyblade with more than one top-tier part included. While Hole Flat is only adequate, the 100 Track is an alternative to the 90 and 85 Tracks; which are more difficult to obtain. However, the real reason to own this Beyblade is Lightning L Drago; its effective [[Smash Attack]] in Upper mode makes it a worthwhile purchase for all Bladers. '''Every Blader should own Multiples of this Beyblade.'''

Dark Bull H145SD

__TOC__

==Face: Bull==
The face on this Beyblade depicts a '''Bull''', which is represented by Taurus in the Zodiac symbols.
It's 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 the heaviest Clear Wheel 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, but Hasbro's Dark has proven to have decent defense capabilities.

==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 recoil it produces in the first few seconds of a battle, but at the same time, this 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 second heaviest Track, 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 equally recoil-producing [[Sagittario 145S | Sagittario]] Wheel, in the custom, ''MF Sagittario 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]]
*'''Weight:''' 0.5 grams
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 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 arguably the best of the “Defense” series of Bottoms, and its effectiveness can be utilized in the custom ''Burn Bull DF145SD''.

==Other Versions==

*'''Mad Bull C145HF''' - Random Booster Light Vol.3 Clay Aries ED145B (Turquoise)

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

Counter Leone D125B

| full item name = Counter Leone D125B
| item number = N/A
| beyblade system = [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | Hybrid Wheel System]]
| beyblade type = [[Defense]]
}}

__TOC__

'''''Note:''' Counter Leone D125B was originally released with the Nintendo Wii game '''Metal Fight Beyblade Gachinko Stadium'''.''

==Face: Leone==
The Face depicts Leo, the fifth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It was redesigned for this model.

==Clear Wheel: Leone==
*'''Weight:''' 3.0 grams

The regular release of Leone is a translucent, blue-green piece. In this release, however, it is clear. Leone is circular with small ridge details.

==Metal Wheel: Counter==
*'''Weight:''' 29.2 Grams

Counter is styled like a HWS version of the Metal System [[Leone 145D | Leone]]. It possesses six similar mane-like projections that coronate its circumference. The gaps between the six projections are too large to provide consistent smash for a competitive [[Attack]] Customization. Counter still showcases fair [[Smash Attack]], but unlike Leone, it lacks the same degree of recoil. This is because the projecting paws are more compact and rounded than its counterpart’s. The lowered recoil makes it a better, albeit underwhelming, choice for a defensive combo.

===Use in Attack Customization===
If you somehow lack access to competitive wheels, Counter can be used to some degree of effectiveness in Smash Attack customs such as ''MF Counter Bull H145RF''.

==Track: Defense 125==
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams
*'''Height:''' 125 millimeters

Defense 125 is similar to [[Bull 125SF | 125]] and [[Flame Libra T125ES | Tornado 125]]. Apart from the shifts in weight distribution and air resistance, there are few notable differences. The ring serves no significant defensive purposes. The track’s relatively low height prevents the opponent’s Bey from making any sort of consistent contact. D125 is an outclassed track for [[Survival | Stamina]] and [[Defense]] Customizations.

===Use in Defense Customization===
If you don't have access to competitive Tracks, MF Earth Bull D125RS is a decent choice for Defense Customization.

===Use in Attack Customization===
D125 can be put to use in the top-tier attack combination ''MF Gravity Perseus D125 RF''

==Bottom: Ball==
*'''Weight:''' 0.6 grams

Ball, as its name suggests, is shaped like a ball. This hemispherical shape provides a large area for the Bottom to make contact with the Stadium floor; hence increasing friction and making it more difficult to knockout. B’s shape also makes it likely to stay in the central areas of the Stadium, hence maximizing the customization’s distance from the Stadium exits. Due to its qualities, this bottom makes a decent choice for Defense Customizations. B can be used if WB is not available. However, both have been outclassed by [[Ray Gil 100RSF | RSF]] and [[Grand Ketos WD145RS | RS]].

==Gallery==
<gallery>
</gallery>

==Overall==
Due to the rarity of Counter Leone D125B, combined with its completely outclassed parts, '''there is little to no point in trying to obtain this Beyblade other than for collection purposes'''.

__TOC__

==Face: Libra==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Libra''', the seventh astrological sign in the Zodiac. Libra’s symbol is The Scales, and this motif is featured on the Beyblade’s Face and Clear Wheel.

==Clear Wheel: Libra==
*'''Weight:''' 2.8g
The regular release of Libra is a translucent green, featuring scales on opposite sides.

===Mold Variations===
The original mold of Libra does not fit Metal Wheels correctly, resulting in a loose fit and rattling. This is later rectified in the Hybrid Wheel Reshuffle Set (Stamina & Defense) release.

==Metal Wheel: Flame==
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams
The Metal Wheel Flame was first released with Flame Sagittario C145S. It is predominantly circular, with two small spikes and two additional smaller gaps on its circumference. The Wheel is relatively thin throughout, with the very edge of the Wheel being slightly thicker. Due to the design of Flame where the Wheel’s perimeter is raised slightly, more of the Track below is exposed compared to other Wheels, hence making it easier for other Beyblades to strike its Track. This significantly reduces its [[Defense]] capabilities.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
''Flame Bull AD145WD'' is a competitive Stamina customization.

==Track: Tornado 125==
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces is negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120.
'''

=== Use in Attack Customization ===
T125 can be utilised in the combo - ''MF Gravity Perseus T125 RF''.

==Bottom: Eternal Sharp==
*'''Weight:''' 1.0 grams
Eternal Sharp features a free-spinning tip attached to a metal shaft which is held by the Bottom. The part was one of the most heavily anticipated parts in the MFB lineup when first announced, but ES is actually a hugely disappointing part in terms of performance.

Firstly, ES lacks a metal bearing, which would significantly reduce the friction between the free-spinning tip and the rest of the Bottom. All of the best free-spinning tips, notably [[Wolborg MS#Running Core (RC): Bearing Core | Bearing Core]], had NSK Shield bearings which allowed unhindered spin.

Secondly, the tip shape of ES is not conducive to optimum [[Survival | Stamina]]; the sharp nature of the Bottom means it is easily destabilized. As all Sharp tips do, Eternal Sharp also has trouble regaining balance, hence making this a poor choice for Stamina. That said, ES still remains superior to BS and S as Stamina Bottoms.

==Bottom: Eternal Sharp==
*'''Weight:''' 1.0 grams
Eternal Sharp features a free-spinning tip attached to a metal shaft which is held by the Bottom. The part was one of the most heavily anticipated parts in the MFB lineup when first announced, but ES is actually a hugely disappointing part in terms of performance.

Firstly, ES lacks a metal bearing, which would significantly reduce the friction between the free-spinning tip and the rest of the Bottom. All of the best free-spinning tips, notably [[Wolborg MS#Running Core (RC): Bearing Core | Bearing Core]], had NSK Shield bearings which allowed unhindered spin.

Secondly, the tip shape of ES is not conducive to optimum [[Survival | Stamina]]; the sharp nature of the Bottom means it is easily destabilized. As all Sharp tips do, Eternal Sharp also has trouble regaining balance, hence making this a poor choice for Stamina. That said, ES still remains superior to BS and S as Stamina Bottoms.

__TOC__

==Face: Libra==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Libra''', the seventh astrological sign in the Zodiac. Libra’s symbol is The Scales, and this motif is featured on the Beyblade’s Face and Clear Wheel.

==Clear Wheel: Libra==
*'''Weight:''' 2.8g
The regular release of Libra is a translucent green, featuring scales on opposite sides.

===Mold Variations===
The original mold of Libra does not fit Metal Wheels correctly, resulting in a loose fit and rattling. This is later rectified in the Hybrid Wheel Reshuffle Set (Stamina & Defense) release.

==Metal Wheel: Flame==
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams
The Metal Wheel Flame was first released with Flame Sagittario C145S. It is predominantly circular, with two small spikes and two additional smaller gaps on its circumference. The Wheel is relatively thin throughout, with the very edge of the Wheel being slightly thicker. Due to the design of Flame where the Wheel’s perimeter is raised slightly, more of the Track below is exposed compared to other Wheels, hence making it easier for other Beyblades to strike its Track. This significantly reduces its [[Defense]] capabilities.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
''Flame Bull AD145WD'' is a competitive Stamina customization.

==Track: Tornado 125==
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces is negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120.

Counter Leone D125B

2011-03-05T15:18:30Z

X1: /* Use in Attack Customization */

{{Beybox

| full item name = Counter Leone D125B
| item number = N/A
| beyblade system = [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | Hybrid Wheel System]]
| beyblade type = [[Defense]]
}}

__TOC__

'''''Note:''' Counter Leone D125B was originally released with the Nintendo Wii game '''Metal Fight Beyblade Gachinko Stadium'''.''

==Face: Leone==
The Face depicts Leo, the fifth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It was redesigned for this model.

==Clear Wheel: Leone==
*'''Weight:''' 3.0 grams

The regular release of Leone is a translucent, blue-green piece. In this release, however, it is clear. Leone is circular with small ridge details.

==Metal Wheel: Counter==
*'''Weight:''' 29.2 Grams

Counter is styled like a HWS version of the Metal System [[Leone 145D | Leone]]. It possesses six similar mane-like projections that coronate its circumference. The gaps between the six projections are too large to provide consistent smash for a competitive [[Attack]] Customization. Counter still showcases fair [[Smash Attack]], but unlike Leone, it lacks the same degree of recoil. This is because the projecting paws are more compact and rounded than its counterpart’s. The lowered recoil makes it a better, albeit underwhelming, choice for a defensive combo.

===Use in Attack Customization===
If you somehow lack access to competitive wheels, Counter can be used to some degree of effectiveness in Smash Attack customs such as ''MF Counter Bull H145RF'' or MF Counter Pegasis 100/90/85 RF.

==Track: Defense 125==
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams
*'''Height:''' 125 millimeters

Defense 125 is similar to [[Bull 125SF | 125]] and [[Flame Libra T125ES | Tornado 125]]. Apart from the shifts in weight distribution and air resistance, there are few notable differences. The ring serves no significant defensive purposes. The track’s relatively low height prevents the opponent’s Bey from making any sort of consistent contact. D125 is an outclassed track for [[Survival | Stamina]] and [[Defense]] Customizations.

===Use in Defense Customization===
If you don't have access to competitive Tracks, MF Earth Bull D125RS is a decent choice for Defense Customization.

===Use in Attack Customization===
D125 can be put to use in the top-tier attack combination ''MF Gravity Perseus D125 RF''

==Bottom: Ball==
*'''Weight:''' 0.6 grams

Ball, as its name suggests, is shaped like a ball. This hemispherical shape provides a large area for the Bottom to make contact with the Stadium floor; hence increasing friction and making it more difficult to knockout. B’s shape also makes it likely to stay in the central areas of the Stadium, hence maximizing the customization’s distance from the Stadium exits. Due to its qualities, this bottom makes a decent choice for Defense Customizations. B can be used if WB is not available. However, both have been outclassed by [[Ray Gil 100RSF | RSF]] and [[Grand Ketos WD145RS | RS]].

==Gallery==

</gallery>

==Overall==
Due to the rarity of Counter Leone D125B, combined with its completely outclassed parts, '''there is little to no point in trying to obtain this Beyblade other than for collection purposes'''.

| full item name = Earth Virgo GB145BS
| item number = BB-60
| beyblade system = [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Hybrid Wheel System | Hybrid Wheel System]]
| beyblade type = [[Survival | Stamina]]
}}

__TOC__

'''''Note:''' Earth Virgo GB145BS was originally released as the "Rare" Beyblade in [[Random Booster Vol.4 Mirage Virgo]]. It has since become more easily obtainable in the Starter version released by SonoKong and the Booster version released by Hasbro.''

==Face: Virgo==
The Face depicts Virgo, the sixth astrological sign of the Zodiac.

==Clear Wheel: Virgo==
*'''Weight:''' 2.8 grams
Virgo was first released in a translucent yellow tint. Virgo has a smooth, flowing design to emulate a woman's hair, and features a small notch on both sides.

==Metal Wheel: Earth==
*'''Weight:''' 33.1 grams
Earth has four thick, textured wings surrounding its perimeter, with each pair facing each other on a slight incline. The space created between the wings is quite small, and the resulting effect is similar to any Wheel that has no spaces: minimal recoil. Though it is on the lighter side of Metal Wheels, its almost unperturbed circular design, and minimal recoil make it one of the best, if not the best, Defense-oriented Wheel currently available for competitive play. The second mold of Earth is included with Earth Virgo GB145BS

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
[[Image:10EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|Earth Metal Wheel (second mold)]]
Earth has two different molds. The first mold was released in BB-47 Starter Earth Aquila 145WD, and the second in both the purple WBBA "Event Special" MF Earth Aquila 105HF/S, and SonoKong manufactured Earth Metal Wheels. However, TAKARA-TOMY has since ceased production on the first mold, thus making it a difficult part to obtain. The second mold addressed breaking problems that the original mold faced by modifying the inside of each of Earth's wings. The new mold is up to three grams heavier than the old mold (30-31 grams versus 33 grams on the new mold), which makes it significantly more effective for [[Defense]] customizations. Therefore, the new mold is the preferred choice for Defense customs using Earth, while the original mold would be the best for [[Survival | Stamina]].

===Use in Defense Customization===
Earth can be utilized in the [[Defense]] customization, ''MF-H Earth Bull GB145RS''.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
Earth also has exceptional [[Survival | Stamina]] capabilities and can be utilized in the Stamina custom ''Earth Bull AD145SD'' or the Stamina custom ''Earth Bull AD145WD''.

==Track: Gravity Bowl 145==
*'''Weight:''' 4.5 grams
GB145 is a wide, round track featuring two free moving metal balls. These balls move toward the outside of the Track while spinning, causing additional spin retaining force, similar to [[Draciel Metal Ball Defenser]]'s Metal Ball Base from the [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic generation]]. Weighing in at 4.5 grams, GB145 is currently the third heaviest Track available, and as such is extremely useful in [[Defense]] customizations. However, because it lacks energy-absorbing free spinning wings, it is not as effective as [[Flame Sagittario C145S | C145]] against low attackers such as [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]] 90RF.

Where GB145 does shine is when it is utilized in Defense customizations against high CH120-based Attackers, such as MF [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning L Drago]] CH120RF. These types of Attackers do not aim to hit the Track, and thus the free spinning wings of C145 are not necessary, and you instead get a significant increase in the overall weight of the customization.

===Use in Defense Customization===
GB145 can be utilized in the [[Defense]] customization ''MF-H Basalt/Earth Aquario GB145RS''. The Bull clear wheel may also be used as a subsitute if Aquario is unavaliable.

==Bottom: Ball Sharp==
*'''Weight:''' 1 gram
BS offers very little movement and provides no [[Attack]] potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. BS has decent [[Survival | Stamina]], but it experiences the balance issues that the S series bottoms share because its tip is so fine. D, WD and SD are better choices.

==Overall==
'''Earth Virgo GB145BS''' has many positive attributes. Earth is a wheel with great [[Defense]] and [[Survival | Stamina]], and GB145 is an extremely useful Track for Defense. While BS leaves much to be desired, Earth and GB145 more than make up for it. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade'''.

Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS

2011-03-05T06:08:20Z

X1: /* Use in Defense Customization */

{{Beybox
| image = GrandKetosT125WD145RS.jpg
| full item name = Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS
| item number = BB-82
| beyblade system = [[Metal Fight Beyblade | Hybrid Wheel System]]
| beyblade type = [[Defense]]
}}

'''''Note:''''' ''Grand Ketos was originally obtained through [[Random Booster Vol.5 Grand Ketos]], where, instead of the conventional single "prize" Beyblade included in Random Boosters, TAKARA-TOMY included two versions. One came with T125 and a white Ketos, while the other version came with WD145 and a dark blue Ketos. Sonokong later released a starter of these Beyblades, which included a Light Launcher 2.''

==Face: Ketos==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Cetus, one of the 88 constellations in space. This Face represents the Whale.

==Clear Wheel: Ketos==
*'''Weight:''' 2.5 grams
The Ketos Clear Wheel is perfectly symmetrical. It shows two waves flowing on each side, going in opposite directions, with white whale tails shown on both ends.

==Metal Wheel: Grand==
*'''Weight:''' 29.3 grams
Grand is an intriguing wheel; it's thicker than [[Earth Aquila 145WD#Metal Wheel: Earth | Earth]] at the thickest point on its interconnected, smooth design. However, it is not as successful defensively, as it is 3.5 grams lighter than the second mold of Earth. On the Grand wheel there are six “walls” and with every two walls there is a gap dividing them into three sections. In each section there is a wall with small textured indents; this creates some recoil which is never a plus for a Defense-oriented Wheel. Because of this, it does have some [[Smash Attack]], but it is mediocre and is completely outclassed by the multitude of other great [[Attack]]-based Wheels available, such as [[Vulcan Horuseus 145D#Metal Wheel: Vulcan | Vulcan]].

==Track: T125==
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces, like DF145, is also negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120 due to its versatility. T125 has use in [[Survival | Stamina]] customizations, and can also be used effectively in [[Attack]] customizations if CH120 is unavailable.

===Use in Attack Customization===
T125 is an excellent alternative to the 145 track in the attack combination: ''MF Pegasis T125R2F''. T125 is also used in the Gravity Perseus Attack combination, ''MF Gravity Perseus T125R2F''. They are both excellent [[Smash Attack]] customizations.

==Track: WD145==
*'''Weight:''' 3.6 grams
WD145 features three “wings”. The wings are similar to that of ED145, the only difference being that its wings cannot spin freely. The defensive capabilities of this part are outclassed in all areas by other Defensive Tracks, such as C145, GB145, and 230, as it does not absorb hits as successfully. Furthermore, it is easy for the low attacker’s Wheel to be caught between the Wheel and WD145, causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction in the process.

==Bottom: Rubber Sharp==
*'''Weight:''' 0.8 grams
As its name suggests, RS is a sharp tip made of rubber, and with that, all of the problems sharp tips are known for, as well as the poor [[Survival | Stamina]] of rubber-based bottoms, and their tendency to wear down after extensive use, are brought along with it. However, RS's primary purpose is to counteract [[Attack]] customizations. The high friction of the rubber, along with the lack of movement due to the sharp tip make it incredibly difficult to move, and thus, KO.

RS does seem to have difficulty sometimes outlasting left-spinning customs, but against right-spin [[Attack]] customs, despite it's poor balance and [[Survival | Stamina]], it is able to effectively neutralize them.

===Use in Defense Customization===
RS can be put to use in the top-tier combination, ''MF-H Earth/Basalt Bull 230/BD145 RS''.

==Overall==
Grand, while not a horrible Wheel, was still outclassed heavily by Earth and Vulcan in [[Defense]] and [[Attack]] respectively at the time of its release. T125 is an interesting Track, and should be chosen over the WD145 version. The main reason for buying this Beyblade should be for RS, arguably the best Defensive Bottom currently available. If only because RS wears down after extensive use, '''every Blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''
