Dark Wolf DF145FS

Number: BB-29
System: Hybrid Wheel System
Type: Balance

Face: Wolf

The face on this Beyblade depicts Lupus, one of the 88 constellations in space.

Clear Wheel: Wolf

  • Weight: 3 grams

The original release of Wolf is a dark brown, translucent plastic wheel. The edges of the Clear Wheel consists of 4 wolf 'heads', one in each quarter of the clear wheel, representing the body form of a Wolf, the symbol its design is influenced by.

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 Stamina. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area, resulting in poor defensive capabilities.

Track: Down Force 145

  • Weight: 3 grams
  • Height 14.5 millimeters

DF145 has four upward facing wings protruding from the top of the Track, which aside from giving it extra weight are meant to push air downwards. While the effects of the wings themselves may be negligible, they likely do help stabilize the Beyblade they are being used on to some capacity. This capability makes it quite useful for Stamina customs, where staying balanced and retaining spin is of upmost importance. The wings can also help protect from low, 90 or 100 based Attackers, but to a much lesser extent than a part with similar defensive properties of C145.

Use in Stamina Customization

DF145 can be put to good use in the custom, Thermal Bull DF145WD.

Bottom: Flat Sharp

  • Weight: 0.6 grams

FS features a flat tip with a smaller, sharper tip in the centre. As a result, when launched at a straight angle, the Beyblade spins on this sharp tip, with very little movement. However, when tilted, either from the contact of an opposing Beyblade or from the launch, the Bottom moves in an offensive pattern. However, it suffers from the same problems as other Balance Bottoms, in that the two qualities are compromised, resulting in mediocre performance in both fields.

Overall

Dark Wolf DF145FS is comprised of predominantly outclassed parts, besides the DF145 Track, which can be obtained in many other Beyblade products. There is little to no reason to purchase this Beyblade, aside from collection purposes.
