Virgo is one of the most smooth, circular Wheels currently available. Its circular shape is composed of two large, and long slopes which connect with each other to form the circle; however, despite their appearance, they don't offer any effective [[Upper Attack]]. These properties lend themselves well to [[Survival | Stamina]], and despite its relatively average weight in comparison to other Wheels, Virgo has found its place among the best Stamina-based Wheels currently available.

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
One very important thing to note is the different mold variations that have been discovered for Virgo. Just looking at the Wheels themselves, it is impossible to tell what the actual difference in the  mold is. However, through testing, it has been determined that there is balance issues that certain Virgo Wheels encounter. Some of them have been reported not having a solo spin time above three minutes while others are able to spin for over five minutes. The disparities between the Virgo Wheels cannot be ignored, so it is encouraged to test your Virgo Wheel by itself before using it in a competitive situation.

Type: Stamina

Face: Virgo

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

  • Weight: 37 grams

Virgo is one of the most smooth, circular Wheels currently available. Its circular shape is composed of two large, and long slopes which connect with each other to form the circle; however, despite their appearance, they don't offer any effective Upper Attack. These properties lend themselves well to Stamina, and despite its relatively average weight in comparison to other Wheels, Virgo had once found its place among the best Stamina-based Wheels available. However, it has since been outclassed greatly. There is no reason to use this Wheel competitively.

IMPORTANT: Mold Variations

One very important thing to note is the different mold variations that have been discovered for Virgo. Just looking at the Wheels themselves, it is impossible to tell what the actual difference in the mold is. However, through testing, it has been determined that there is balance issues that certain Virgo Wheels encounter. Some of them have been reported not having a solo spin time above three minutes while others are able to spin for over five minutes. The disparities between the Virgo Wheels cannot be ignored, so it is encouraged to test your Virgo Wheel by itself before using it.

Track: Down Force 145 BeywikiBannerBad.jpg

Weight: 1.5 grams Full Width: 21.53 mm Height: 14.50 mm

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. It is on par with 145, while AD145 is superior by a small margin when used in Stamina combinations.

Use in Stamina Customization

If the aforementioned parts aren't accessible, DF145 can still be put to good use in the custom, Scythe Kronos DF145SD.

Bottom: Ball Sharp BeywikiBannerBad.jpg

Weight: 0.6 gram Full Width: 15.71 mm Tip Width: 5.64 mm Full Height: 8.78 mm Sharp Tip Angle: 35°

BS's performance is quite similar to that of S. BS offers very little movement and as such gives 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 Stamina, but because the tip is so fine, it experiences the same balance issues that S does. D, SD, and WD are much better choices for Stamina.

Overall

Virgo used to be one of the best Stamina Wheels available. However, it has since then been outclassed by numerous other Wheels such as Scythe and Phantom. Its other parts, DF145 and BS, are outclassed by other Tracks and Bottoms as well. There is little reason to purchase this Beyblade outside of collection purposes.
