Hasbro's VS Gear is a QuadStrike Armor Tip version of Takara Tomy's Attack Type AdventurePerformance Tip and VS GearEvolution Gear. The shape of the VS Gear Armor Tip generally resembles its Takara Tomy counterpart, albeit with a wider flat tip. As a QuadStrike Armor Tip, the VS Gear Armor Tip lacks the rubber of Adventure, in addition to the metal and free-spinning blade of the VS Gear Evolution Gear. The VS Gear Armor Tip is wide, which is intended to interact with a QuadStrike System Beystadium.
Like other Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Performance Tips via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Performance Tip, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Performance Tip as the main contact point with the Beystadium, increasing its height.
