Ultimate Eagle +S[]
The Ultimate Eagle +S was the first version of the Ultimate Eagle. It was released exclusively at the 2014 Japan National Yo-Yo Contest, though some examples had found their way to Yo-Yo Store Rewind.
Based on the design of the Eagle Eye yo-yo, stainless steel rings were added and the specs were tweaked to accommodate the new mass and weight distribution. Its width is at 54.12mm for lessened stress on the user during offstring play. It also uses a small A-bearing with silicone JT Pad response.

Ultimate Eagle (2014)[]
This second version of the Ultimate Eagle is a redesign of the original Ultimate Eagle +S. The most notable change is the size; the diameter is reduced to 70mm with the width increased to 56.2mm. The profile of the Ultimate Eagle is now a low-edged Step Straight shape. The yo-yo's weight was also shaved down to compensate for the changes.
All of this was intentional, as the yo-yo's specs were specifically tweaked to achieve a perfect balance of speed, control and stability during regenerations, recaptures and bounces.
