Infinity Libra GB145S is a Stamina Type Beyblade. It was released in Japan in exchange for 30,000 Beypoints on the Beypoint Card. It has been unavailable since early 2011.
Face Bolt: Libra
- Main article: Face Bolt - Libra
The Face Bolt depicts "Libra", the seventh astrological sign in the Zodiac and one of the 88 constellations in space. Libra is Latin for "scales", and the design fittingly features balance scales with the word "Libra" below it. Some Hasbro releases, such as Thunder Libra DF145BS, omit this word and enlarge the scales.
Energy Ring: Libra
- Main article: Energy Ring - Libra
The regular release of Libra is a translucent green, featuring scales on opposite sides.
Fusion Wheel: Infinity
- Main article: Fusion Wheel - Infinity
Thunder is meant to be a Fusion Wheel version of the Metal System Libra Wheel. It features a similar round design, with small indents to form the shape of scales. Its usage however is limited; in Defense Type combos, it is outclassed by thicker Fusion Wheels with the same shape, such as Twisted, and heavier Fusion Wheels such as Duo. Due to its round shape, Thunder has no Attack potential whatsoever, and even its Metal System predecessor Libra, is more useful for Stamina Type combinations.
Spin Track: GB145
- Main article: Spin Track - GB145
Gravity Ball 145 (GB145) is a wide, round Spin Track with two free moving metal balls. These balls move towards the outside of the Spin Track while spinning, causing additional spin retaining force. While the Spin Track is relatively heavy due to the inclusion of the metal balls, it has been outclassed by later releases of Stamina Type Spin Tracks.
At release Gravity Ball 145 was seen as inferior to Claw 145 (C145), due to the lack of energy-absorbing free spinning wings, making it not as effective against low attacker Beyblades, which were popular at the time. Gravity Ball 145 later found use in Defense Type combinations against Change Height 120 (CH120)-based attacker Beyblades. These types of attackers do not aim to hit the Spin Track, and thus the free spinning wings of C145 are not necessary, and instead a Beyblade could be given a significant increase in the overall weight of the customization. However, it has been outclassed for Defense Type customizations by Spin Tracks such as Boost Disk 145 (BD145).
Performance Tip: Sharp
- Main article: Performance Tip - S
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).
