Alchemik Yoyos has announced the release of their 2nd yo-yo, the Roentgen (pronounced “Rent-gen”), which arrives on Sunday, May 4 at 11:59 PM MST. Here’s what they had to say about the upcoming release:
“The Roentgen is the signature model of Tyler Jorgensen! Tyler runs the Tri-Cities yoyo club in Eastern Washington, and in his own words, “The inspiration for the Roentgen comes from a love of competitive style yo-yos that keep that fun-loving spirit. We wanted to make something that was powerful, agile, and durable. It has a great width for practicing those more difficult tricks, and with enough spin time to keep up!”
The Roentgen uses titanium weight rings on a 7068 body, which adds a really special feel compared to many bimetals. I personally have loved testing it as a team member and can’t wait for everyone else to get to experience it too!
The Roentgen is priced at $150 and will come in 4 colorways. We also have a handful of B-grades that will be available for $100. It drops May 4th at 11:59 MST on the Alchemik Yoyos official website.”
