Downbeat 20/20
First released: April 2020Description
We are kicking off our 20/20 Hindsight Series with Downbeat. The original Downbeat was created to be heavy, slow and chill. We made it exactly 70 grams with Ultra Lights which meant there was no way to make it lighter than that. 70 grams was a statement.
The point of the 20/20 series is to re-imagine old models so we thought making a much lighter Downbeat would be a signficant change because the weight was key to it's essence. We were able to do this without changing the size or the profile shape so it still feels like the same yo-yo in your hand. With Ultra Lights it comes in at 65.3 grams - almost 5 grams lighter than the original. They are all shipping with Ultra Lights, except for the Saturday Market which has Flat Caps and weights 66.3 grams.
It’s strange to type this: the Downbeat 20/20 is fast. But somehow it still retains it’s chill.
Limited to a one time run of 120 pieces. New lower price starting at $59 for solids.
