Hoakari Yu (with en illustration card)

en - Hoakari Yu The second entry in the Yu series: competition-focused, and even more versatile. The Yu series revisits competition-oriented models through a different approach to materials and weight. Hoakari Yu is the second release in the lineup, reworked from the original Hoakari with an alloy change to A6061 and a significant revision of the overall weight. The development concept is described as "Hoakari × Himuro," reflecting an effort to merge the distinct qualities of both models into a single design. With a mid-sized diameter and wide profile in a monometal form, the wider catch zone improves consistency on mounts, while the compact diameter keeps movement nimble through complex trick sequences. The rounded overall shape reduces impact on catch and improves grip, and together with the softened inner rim profile, delivers a smooth, comfortable feel. The competitive core remains unchanged, making the Hoakari Yu a truly all-around model.
