This yo-yo was the result of a cross-collaboration between Xcube (aka X³) of France and 3YO3 of Florida. 3YO3 specializes in the manufacture of acrylic yo-yos. In this case, they adapted the radical design of Xcube's aluminum "Steamroller" undersized yo-yo and made it out of acrylic. The change in body material likewise changed the way the yo-yo handled (about 5 grams lighter compared to the original) and the way it felt in your hand (slightly softer tactile feel).

Uses a size C ball bearing and General Yo branded "Hat Pad thin" pads for response. Came in an Xcube branded canister with one extra string and two pinback buttons.

Compare with the aluminum version of the Steamroller made by Xcube.

Original retail price: $140 US.
