Face
The face on this Beyblade depicts Leo, which is a sign in the Zodiac.
Wheel
- Weight: 38 grams
- Maximum Outer Diameter: 43.57 Millimeters
- Maximum Height: 8.97 Millimeters
Leone's Wheel has been designed to be very compact and is currently one of the heaviest wheels at 38 grams (coming in second only to Libra, which is 43 grams). Because of its heavy weight, its Defensive ability is quite high and it is not very easily knocked around and is able to outspin or deflect most opponents the majority of the time. Leone's Wheel is one of the top choices for Endurance type customizations, however it is closely matched by Pegasis in that regard.
Leone's potential as a compact Beyblade presently untapped, but if a Track similar to the HMC from the plastic generation is released in the future, this may be changed.
Track: 145 (14.5mm)
- Weight: 1 gram
The 145 Track is the highest Track available. This Track is very high up and leaves the Beyblade open for attack from below, and doesn’t offer much balance.
Bottom: Defense
- Weight: 1 gram
This is a Defense Bottom, which acts as a wider version of a Sharp tip. When hit by an opponent, a Beyblade with this Bottom will have lessened recoil and will recover from attacks more efficiently than a Sharp Tip. However, while recovering, the Defense Bottom will cause the Beyblade to lose some stamina, caused by the added friction.
Use in Stamina customization
D was once the best Stamina bottom available, but is now outclassed by SD. However, it can still be used to success in Virgo DF145D.

Overall
Leone 145D is clearly one of the top choices for Defensive minded bladers at this point in time, and for good reason. It's compact design, and heavy weight make it hard to knock around and out of the Bey Stadium. Although, its one gaping flaw is it's height. Using Leone's Wheel in conjunction with the 145 Track leaves it wide open for Bull's Upper Attack. To alleviate this problem though, simply switch to a lower track, such as 125. This will increase Leone's Defense, and make it less prone to any Upper Attack.
