The Accel Loop (Japanese: アクセルループ) is a yo-yo released in Japan by Bandai in March 2025 for its Hyper Yo-Yo Accel line.
Features[]
The Accel Loop is unique among the Hyper Yo-Yo Accel line in that it is the only model so far that was designed for performing looping tricks, which were very difficult, if not impossible to do with the other models without changing the string with a thinner one.
It has a thin shape to facilitate looping control. The inside of the halves are mostly recessed to make the yo-yo lighter, but the parts containing the starbursts are raised, making the inside gap tighter, allowing for stronger response.
Like the other models in the line, it features a unique side cap bearing system called the "Accel System", which uses two raised side caps called "Accel disks" that can rotate independently from the body of the yo-yo. However, the diameter of the "Accel disks" were significantly smaller than the previous models, possibly as a trade-off to having a model that loops properly. Despite the small "Accel disks", it is still possible to perform "Accel Tricks", though it requires a little bit of balancing when performing certain tricks.
Right out of the packaging, the Accel Loop yo-yo can be used for performing looping tricks; However, the angle of the looping tends to be low when the included string is used, and it is a little difficult to keep the yo-yo in the sleeping position, so it is still recommended to replace the string with a thinner one.
Just like the Accel Origin, the Accel Loop was marketed toward elementary schoolers and beginners who have no prior yo-yoing experience. Players are also encouraged to try a new set of tricks called "Accel Tricks" (listed on Bandai's official Hyper Yo-Yo webpage) that utilize the side cap bearings. It also came in various colors, each having its own unique print design and aesthetic.
Official Description[]
HYPER YOYO ACCEL (2024)[]
This is a Hyper Yo-Yo line which comes with a new feature called the "Accel System", that has been patented in Japan and the US. It allows you to spin the main unit at high speed without throwing it by pulling the string vigorously while holding the main unit in your hand. By utilizing this feature, new tricks that could not be reproduced with conventional yo-yos are possible.
Accel Round (2025) (Official Hyper Yo-Yo Website)[]
The "Accel Loop" has a narrow gap width and is thin, making it easy to return to your hand, making it ideal for looping tricks such as "Loop the Loop". It also features an "Accel System" that you hold and spin in your hand.
Recommended trick level: Super level to Hyper level
