Aries 125D is a Defense Type Beyblade released in the BB-13 Random Booster Vol. 1 Secret Aries on September 18th, 2008.

Face Bolt - Aries

Main article: Face Bolt - Aries

The Aries Face Bolt depicts "Aries", the first astrological sign in the Zodiac. Aries is one of the 88 constellations in space, and is depicted in the design as a ram skull, with the word "ARIes" below it. Some Hasbro releases, such as Torch Aries 125D, omit the word and enlarge the ram skull.

Wheel - Aries

Main article: Wheel - Aries

The Aries Wheel design features three ram heads, with two horn protrusions each (six horns in total). The six horns are intended to "bounce" attacks off. Aries has slight Upper Attack, but has horrible Defense properties due to the wide gaps in the Wheel, and bad Stamina due to frequent recoil. In addition, Aries is quite light, especially compared to other Wheels. Aries has two molds, with the second mold being lighter in weight. The revised second mold has the gaps between the head and horns filled in, with the underside of the horns being hollowed out.

Spin Track - 125

Main article: Spin Track - 125

125 is a midway between the 105 and the 145 Spin Tracks. Utilized in mid-height Stamina Type combos, it is more difficult to destablize compared to 145 height Stamina Type combos. It has declined in popularity due to the release of gimmicked Spin Tracks of the same height, such as Tornado 125 (T125) and Defense 125 (D125), which offer more weight and balance capabilities.

Performance Tip - Defense

Main article: Performance Tip - Defense

Defense (D), as the name implies, was the first Defense Type Performance Tip released in the Metal Saga series. Defense is similar to Spike, but is wider. Compared to the Stamina Type Spike, Defense actually has superior Stamina capabilities, with less recoil and more recovery. However, the added friction from the wider tip causes the Beyblade to lose Stamina during recovery.
