The Accel Wing (Japanese: アクセルウイング) is a yo-yo released in Japan by Bandai in October 2024 for its Hyper Yo-Yo Accel line.
Features[]
The Accel Wing is essentially a wing-shape version of the Accel Origin. It has a convex gap reminiscent of the Duncan Butterfly but not as wide. This makes the it easier to land the string when performing string tricks compared to the previous model.
It features a unique side cap bearing system called the "Accel System", which uses two large side caps called "Accel disks" that can rotate independently from the body of the yo-yo. Because of the large side caps, it is very easy to hold the yoyo horizontally on one of the side caps without having to balance it with your finger, making it "the easiest yo-yo to perform the DNA trick with". However, because of the wing shaped body, it is even more difficult to grip the yo-yo on a side cap and perform the horizontal DNA than on the Accel Origin.
The yo-yo also features a unique starburst pattern of alternating wide and thin spokes, unlike the Accel Origin which had a typical-looking starburst pattern.
Just like the Accel Origin, the Accel Wing 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.
