Metal Wheel - Pegasis

Pegasis is a Wheel released as part of the Metal System. It debuted with the release of Pegasis 105F on August 9th 2008.

Description
Pegasis consists of a three-winged design. Each of the three sections has a flat front that connects the protrusions. The segments slightly curve upwards in the shape of wings, with two pointed ridges near the end. Hoove-like parts can also be observed in the design.

This Wheel is one of the best Smash Attack Wheels from the Metal System series. Surprisingly however, its potential was not realized by the community until much later. After the Metal System had already ended, MF Pegasis 145RF was eventually popularized due to its high success rate against WB-tipped Defense combos, which were top-tier at the time. In combination with MF and RF, the Recoil Pegasis did experience was minimized, which allowed for its powerful Smash Attack to KO opponents with ease, especially Stamina types. However, when rubber-based Defense became a reality with Bottoms such as RS, Pegasis, and other popular right-spin Attack Wheels of the time (such as Storm,  Ray, and  Sagittario) were unable to contend with the strong grip those Bottoms provided and, as a result, fell into disuse.

Design Change
The original design of Pegasis (pictured to the right) was changed to the current design sometime before the launch of Metal Fight Beyblade. No official statement was made, but the Beyblade community has speculated that it was due to probable breakage problems with each of the three highly exposed "wings" on the Wheel.
