Virgo DF145BS

Number: BB-22
System: Metal Fight Beyblade
Type: Stamina

Face: Virgo

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

Wheel: Virgo

  • 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 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.

Use in Stamina Customization

You can put Virgo's great Stamina abilities to use in the custom, Virgo DF125SD.

Track: Down Force 145

  • Weight: 3 grams

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 utmost importance. The wings can also help protect from low, 90 or 100 based Attackers, but to a much lesser extent than something like C145.

Use in Stamina Customization

DF145 can be put to good use in the custom, Virgo DF145SD.

Bottom: Ball Sharp

  • Weight: 1 gram

BSs 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. Both D and SD are much better choices.

Use in Stamina Customization

If you don't have access to D or SD, BS can be used to some degree of effectiveness in Stamina customs such as Virgo DF145BS.

Overall

Virgo has found its place as the best Stamina Wheel currently available, and that fact alone should be enough to warrant a purchase, but the original version also comes with DF145, one of the most popular Tracks for Stamina. BS may have been outclassed from the day it was released, but both Virgo and DF145 more than make up for it. Every blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.
