The Hyper RB II (Japanese: ハイパーアールビーツー) is a yo-yo manufactured by Yomega and released by Bandai on August 1998 for its first Hyper Yo-Yo line.
Description[]
The Hyper RB II is the Hyper Yo-Yo rebrand of the Yomega RB II. Unlike the atomic print design of the RBII, the Hyper RB II adopted the swirling wave design of the Hyper Raider. It comes in various clear colors, including clear colorless.
The Hyper RB II was essentially an upgraded version of the Hyper Impulse, which was also released at the same time as the Hyper RB II. It has the exact same Modified shaped body without the side caps, but this time a metal ball bearing transaxle system was included, making longer sleep times possible.
