Grand Capricorn 145D

Grand Capricorn 145D is a Defense-Type Beyblade owned by Klaus of Team Excalibur. It was only released by Hasbro in the Team Excalibur Team Pack.

Face Bolt: Capricorn


The face on this Beyblade depicts a Goat, which is represented by Capricornus, one of the 12 zodiac signs. Capricorne is one of 88 constellations in space. It is purple in color, with an orange goat head and Capricorne written on it.

Energy Ring: Capricorn


The Energy Ring is a fluorescent orange color. On the two sides of the Energy Ring are heads of a goat. On some sides of the Energy Ring, there are jagged spikes. Those spikes are good for upper attacks. There is no difference between the Spiral Capricorne 90MF energy ring and this energy ring, except sticker placement.

Attack: 4 - Defense: 2 - Stamina: 1

Fusion Wheel: Grand
The Grand Wheel looks very similar to the Pre-Hybrid Scorpio Wheel, but the "grooves" are only half the height. Basically, it is a bigger Twisted Wheel, but hollow with more detail and less weight. It doesn't exactly have a complex design, but it is an OK Stamina Wheel. It is too light to provide any decent Defense capabillities and is instead is a worse version of the Burn and Earth Wheels, due to the separate indents in the wheel creating, some recoil. This wheel can be used as a backup attack wheel, due to its recoil.

Attack: 2 - Defense: 4 - Stamina: 1

Spin Track: 145

 * Weight: 1.5 grams

145 is the third highest Track available, next to TH170, form Beat Lynx, and 230, from Flame Byxis, along with the various other 145-variants (C145, DF145, etc.). It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its spin velocity, but that being said, DF145 has this same effect but also the added bonus of its “Down Force” which while negligible, stabilizes the Beyblade it is being used on slightly. 145, being as tall as makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because normally Stamina types are not used against Attack types.It is commonly used with its other variants, making them one of the most popular spin tracks(105 and 100 being other popular tracks)

Performance Tip: Defense

 * Weight: 1 gram



This is a Defense Bottom, which acts as a wider version of a Sharp tip. When hit by an opponent, a Beyblade with this Bottom will have lessened recoil and will recover from attacks more efficiently than a Sharp Tip. However, while recovering, the Defense Bottom will cause the Beyblade to lose some stamina, caused by the added friction. However it is easier to knock over than WD yet harder to knock over than SD.
