CLYW - Caribou Lodge Yo-Yo Works. On December 15, 2016, CLYW released The Gorge, a new oversized bi-metal yoyo with very high inside walls. The initial first release was available at YoYoExpert.com. Designed by CLYW owner Chris Mikulin. The Gorge is a throwback due to its high inside walls, and rounded profile. However, unlike yo-yos prior to about 2004, this version is bi-metal (aluminum and stainless steel) and is dead response. This design is what Chris Mikulin liked when he first started in the yo-yo design business that is CLYW today.
Uses CLYW "Snow Tires" for the response, and a size C Pixel ball bearing axle.
Quantities for the initial release:
- Ten all-black
- Ten half-gray & half-purple
- After the half gray & half purple sold out, CLYW released another ten of each color within about a week or so.
The M4 x 10 mm axle could be replaced with an M4 x 8 mm axle and a half spec C bearing to make the yo-yo a normal, original tug response. Total production numbers are unknown.
Designed in Canada and manufactured in China.
Collected December 15, 2016.
Original retail price: $135 US. | |
