Performance and competitive play
Shinobi can be placed either above or underneath the Griff Chrome Wheel.

Spin Track: Claw 145 (C145)
A unique Track that has the claws on it to strike opponents underneath. The claws point straight out in battle due to the spin, and stay that way through the rest of the battle. Yellow with checkered stickers, this Track helps to provide the Bey with good Defense. Because of the Flame Fusion Wheel's shape, a low attacker like Screw Capricorne 90MF can attack the C145 track when used with Flame Fusion Wheel. It will make the Bey lose its Balance.
 * Weight: 3.2 grams

Attack: 0 - Defense: 2 - Stamina: 2

Performance Tip: Sharp/Spike (S)
The Sharp Bottom offers very little movement and as such provides no Attack potential. The pointed Tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of spin velocity. However, due to the fine nature of the Tip, the bottom is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by superior alternatives such as WD/SD/D/EWD/SWD. This Tip is outclassed and deemed pathetic among Stamina types. It is not as powerful as an ES, BS or any other Stamina type Performance Tips. Because of its poor balance, when used with C145, the Track usually touches the floor when hit with a strong Attack which will cause it to lose Stamina and Balance.
 * Weight: 0.6 grams

Attack: 0 - Defense: 0 - Stamina: 4

Origin
The bey is based on the Griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle.
