Rock is currently the third heaviest Hybrid Wheel System Wheel to date.

As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel.

Rock Leone 145WB
MFB RockLeone.jpg
Number: BB-30
System: Hybrid Wheel System
Type: Defense

Face: Leone

The Face on this Beyblade depicts Leo, the fifth astrological sign in the zodiac. Leo is the Lion.

Clear Wheel: Leone

  • Weight: 3.0 grams

The regular release of Leone is a translucent, blue-green piece. Leone is circular with small ridge details.

Metal Wheel: Rock

  • Weight: 31.4 grams

Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original Leone Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent.

Rock as a Defense type is unable to match the qualities of Metal Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel.

Track: 145

  • Weight: 1.5 grams

145 is the highest Track available, along with the various other 145-variants (C145, DF145, etc.). It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its spin velocity, but that being said, DF145 has this same effect but also the added bonus of its “Down Force” which while negligible, stabilizes the Beyblade it is being used on slightly. 145, being as tall as makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because normally Stamina types are not used against Attack types.

Use in Stamina Customization

If DF145 is unavailable, 145 can be put to good use in the custom, Burn Bull 145SD.

Bottom: Wide Ball

  • Weight: 0.7 grams

The Bottom of this Beyblade is its most valuable part. WB is essentially B, with a larger spherical surface, hence “wide”. As a result, it is seen as an improvement over B in terms of Defensive qualities. This is because of the greater surface area in contact with the Stadium floor at any one time. However, because of this wider contact area, the Bottom also causes more movement compared to B. This is disadvantageous when facing an Attack type, because the Defense customization is closer to the Stadium exits, hence increasing the likelihood of a KO. To prevent this, many launch WB-based customizations at about 80% power, meaning that the Beyblade itself stays in the centre, while retaining the defensive qualities of WB. Alternatively, you can launch WB-based customs at 100% power with a Hasbro length MFB winder due to their shorter length.

Use in Defense Customization

Currently, WB is the preferred choice of Bottom for Defense customizations, in particular top-tier customization MF Earth Bull C145/GB145WB.

Overall

Rock Leone 145WB is comprised of predominantly outclassed parts, except for WB, the absolute best Bottom for pure Defense types. Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.
