Gryph consists of eight distinct sections, similar in shape to those of the Leone Metal Wheel. Four of Gryph's protrusions have spikes curved in a right-spin direction, and the other half of the sections mostly consists of straight boulders, like on Bakushin. One of the latter sections is however in the shape of an eagle head viewed from a profile perspective, with the orb from the Crystal Wheel showing on the left border of the head. Opposite of the eagle head, Gryph has one main contact point that helps to provide Force Smash, when used as a Synchrom Bottom Wheel; Upper Smash, as a Synchrom Top Wheel.

Archer has large curves from a bow protruding around one half of its circumference, with some fancy string details engraved in the rest of the design, notably where the crystal is located. Like any other Crystal Wheel, Archer is however too light to be effective versus all Synchrom customizations as well as most 4D combinations.

C145 has three wings which extend outwards, each separately joined onto the underside of the Spin Track. These are free moving, and hence when the Beyblade is launched, these point outwards due to spin velocity. Their free moving nature make them very effective for defensive purposes, as they are able to withstand low hits to the Spin Track without significant spin loss. Furthermore, the Spin Track is significantly heavier than non-gimmicked Tracks such as 145, providing extra weight essential for Defense. The Spin Track subsequently used to be an essential part for Defense customizations. However, with the advent of the Maximum Series, C145 became outclassed especially by the much heavier BD145, which also offers much more protection to the underside. better Attack and defense parts from the 4D era and beyond also render C145 useless completely.

Performance Tip: Spike (S)

Main article: Performance Tip - Spike

Spike (S), or Sharp, is a pointed tip that allows for very little friction between the tip and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of spin velocity. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, it has little movement and is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by alternatives such as Defense (D).
