Exia

From MK1:

“The Exia is a favorite competition yoyo amongst the MK1 team. It looks good. It plays good. What more could you want?”

There were three runs of the Exia, the original Nov 2020 release followed by releases in Feb 2021 and Apr 2022.

B-Grades

One colorway, glossy clear with rainbow rings, was only available as a b-grade yoyo.

Yoyo Tricks Exclusive Colorways

Three different colorways of the Exia were exclusive to yoyotricks.com.

April 8th, 2023 Run

The third run of the Exia contained three signature colorways for EOS44, Luis Lizardo, and Connor Sheahan. There was also a collaboration with Scales Collective to create a Scales Edition, and with YoyoExpert to create a YoyoExpert edition. Oh, yeah. There was also a pink one.

Umbra

From MK1:

“Inspired by other wide yoyos that paved the way (such as the CLASHcube, Superwide, Atlas, etc), the Umbra is a super wide, super lightweight, and all-around super fun yoyo that is 100% sure to give you a smile*.

*We are legally required to say that the Umbra may or may not give you a smile.”

The first run of Umbras were released in blue and a pink/purple fade.

The 2nd Run

The second run of the Umbra began selling on June 16th, 2021, with several new colorways.

Diffraction

Mk1’s first yoyo design, with a cool fingerspin hub that’s not too easy but still pretty good at centering.

Seven Summits

From One Drop:

“The original Summit came from the meeting of the minds and hearts of CLYW? and One Drop Yo-Yos?. As documented in the video, it was a short but intense beginning to one of the most popular models released by either company. Nearly two years later they are still just as loved and we continue to produce them.

To continue this journey we knew we wanted to make the Summit in 7075 alloy. Since this is the Summit, we knew it had to be different and took inspiration based on that 7075 is part of “Seven Series Aluminum”. It became obvious: we need to do the Seven Summits.

The Seven Summits? are the tallest mountains on each of the 7 continents. Climbing to the summit of all seven (let alone even one) is an incredible human feat known as the “Seven Summits”.

We are going to create the Seven Summits of yo-yo by offering seven different runs of 7075 Summits – each run limited to 50 yo-yos and named after each of the actual seven mountains. Each run will be released separately over a period of months starting with Kilimanjaro in Africa.

And here is another cool part. 7075 weighs more (is more dense) than the usual 6061 so you would expect the Seven Summits to weigh more. However, we re-designed the weight distribution so the resulting total weight of the yo-yo is lighter! Whoa. Heavier metal, lighter yo-yo, but still looks the same (and has the same width and diameter).

You will know it’s a Seven Summit because it will have a mountain name engraved on it. But more than that you will know because it plays different from the original while still maintaining the same essence.
