Radian Super Light by SPYY (Saturn Precision Yo-Yos), one of the first companies to produce an all metal yo-yo from Canada. The founder of SPYY was Steve Buffel of Calgary, Alberta.

From spyy.ca:
"This yo-yo breaks conventions by reintroducing milled features in a high performance yo-yo... perhaps the most spectacular SPYY to date. Spyy machinists overcame many obstacles to incorporate the unique slots with a state of the art live tooling turning center. These features are machined in the same operation as the turned profile, resulting in perfect concentricity and balance. The machining process gave a flawless finish with no hand work required, however a satined finish was chosen for the exterior profile to best show off the natural beauty of raw aluminum.

The Radian Super Light is based on the popular Radian MK3 profile with gap and friction sticker recess dimensions taken from the Spyder. The end result is a yo-yo that hardcore players will "kill" to play... and collectors will love to display. Approximately 225 Radian Super Lights were produced.

With the cutouts, it made the yo-yo about five grams lighter than the Radian MK3."

Incorporates SPYY's characteristic spike hub nub.
