- This article is about Hasbro's SpeedStorm Disc. For its normal counterpart, see Forge Disc - Wheel.
Wheel-SP is a Forge Disc released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the SpeedStorm System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the SpeedStorm Starter Pack, Glide Roktavor R6 Wheel-SP Revolve-SPM.
Description
Hasbro's Wheel-SP is a symmetrical, circular Forge Disc based on Takara Tomy's Wheel, and as such retains the same high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and Life-After-Death (LAD) that is useful for any kind of Combination. However, there are notable differences: Wheel-SP is smaller in size, about 5 grams lighter than Takara Tomy's Wheel, and has regular, full tabs. As such its weight is comparable to the likes of 0 and 00; however the aforementioned Core Discs can facilitate Disc Frames, which can increase their weight further, while Wheel-SP cannot. It has four gaps intended to increase OWD and Stamina potential, as well as a circular perimeter that increases LAD. Due to its round shape and weight, it is comparable in performance to Forge Discs such as Outer.
As Wheel-SP is purely a weaker version of its Takara Tomy counterpart, there is no reason to use Wheel-SP over the latter. However, in the WBO's Burst Limited Format, where the Takara Tomy version and other stronger Forge Discs are banned, Wheel-SP finds use due to its high OWD and weight.
Overall
While Wheel-SP preserves the same qualities and versatility as the original Takara Tomy version, its smaller size and lighter weight make it inferior to Takara Tomy's Wheel.
As such, Wheel-SP is recommended for collection purposes only.
Wheel-SP is highly versatile thanks to its high Outward Weight Distribution and heavy weight. It is consequently useful in any Combination, and has performance comparable to top tier Core Disc and Disc Frame combinations in the Burst Limited Format.
As such, Wheel-SP is a must have for competitive bladers.
Wheel-SP is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic Format.
As such, Wheel-SP is recommended for collection purposes only.Products
