Wide Ball is pretty much Ball with a larger spherical surface, hence the “wide”. Due to this, it is an improvement over Ball in terms of Defense. This is because of the greater surface area in contact with the Stadium floor at any one time. However, because of this wider contact area, the Bottom also causes offensive movement compared to Ball. This is disadvantageous when facing an Attack Type, because the Defense customization is closer to the Stadium exits, hence increasing the chances of a KO. To prevent this, many launch Wide Ball-based customizations so that the Beyblade stays in the center, while retaining the Defensive qualities of Wide Ball. However, if you use a Metal Face, you can launch at full power. Since it moves around, it is best used as a destabilizer, which is what makes this a good Bey. This Wide Ball is black and grayish. This tip is good for attack types when using a rev up launcher. A good customization, though outclassed, is MF-H Twisted/Basalt Bull/Kerbecs GB145WB. It is outclassed by CS, RS, RDF, RSF and MB.

Template:Infobox:HWSRock Zurafa R145WB (known in Japan as Rock Giraffe R145WB) is a Defense-Type Beyblade that appears in the anime and manga series, Beyblade: Metal Masters. This bey belongs to Dashan Wang.

The main feature of this Bey is that it comes with a R145 track. The track contains rubber in most of the parts. This spin track is good for deflecting and absorbing attacks, also for giving extra weight to the bey. Therefore, it makes it heavier and harder to knock it out.

Face Bolt: Zurafa(Giraffe)

The Face Bolt depicts Camelopardalis, one of the 88 constellations in space.

The Face Bolt also depicts a Qilin. A Qilin was a mystical hooved Chinese chimerical creature

Facebolt ZURAFA BB78 35561

known throughout East Asian cultures. It is a good omen that brings "Rui" (serenity or prosperity) and is often depicted with fire all over its body. The design is a yellow-green Qilin with 'ZURAFA' written across. It is known that Qilin is Chinese, and so is Dashan Wang and Wang Hu Zhong.

Energy Ring: Zurafa(Giraffe)

  • Weight: 2.8 grams

Zurafa is an Energy Ring with a bright orange opaque flame design on a translucent yellow background. It resembles the red and yellow Virgo ring recolor in shape. The flames on the ring look like Lighting L-Drago's energy ring flames.

Attack: 1 - Defense: 5 - Stamina: 1

Fusion Wheel: Rock

  • Weight: 31.4 grams

Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original Leone Fusion Wheel, although to a smaller extent. {C}Rock is currently the third heaviest Hybrid Wheel System Wheel to date. However, as a Defense-Type, it is unable to match the qualities of Fusion Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel, but a good Attack Wheel when paired with recoil-reducing parts such as a Metal Face Bolt or the tips RF, R2F, and LRF.

Rubber 145 is the third heaviest of all the Spin Tracks available. It is made of a very firm Rubber and is both a viable Track for Attack and Defense Customizations. Its main purpose is to absorb hits from low attackers without moving much, though it hardly happens with most beys. It is shaped similar to Wide Defense 145 but with the plastic "wings" made of rubber and are more evenly spread out. Due to the gap of the wings, this makes some recoil. The wide shape and the Track's small placement makes it scrape the Stadium floor and thus making it lose Stamina. Despite its main use, Claw 145 outclasses it, but Rubber 145's heavy weight gives it advantage against tall Smash Attackers. R145 can be used for attack custom because its smash and increasing weight helps it attack better with the combo MF Gravity Perseus R145R2F/RF.

Wide Ball is pretty much Ball with a larger spherical surface, hence the “wide”. Due to this, it is an improvement over Ball in terms of Defense. This is because of the greater surface area in contact with the Stadium floor at any one time. However, because of this wider contact area, the Bottom also causes offensive movement compared to Ball. This is disadvantageous when facing an Attack Type, because the Defense customization is closer to the Stadium exits, hence increasing the chances of a KO. To prevent this, many launch Wide Ball-based customizations so that the Beyblade stays in the center, while retaining the Defensive qualities of Wide Ball. However, if you use a Metal Face, you can launch at full power. Since it moves around, it is best used as a destabilizer, which is what makes this a good Bey. This Wide Ball is black and grayish.

Beast

Template:Beast Zurafa's beast is a Qilin that has flames spreaded over him.

Special Moves

  • Crushing Blast: Zurafa's most powerful special move, an attack that uses the spirit of the Beyblader and the Bey to create flames that circle Zurafa. It eliminates all needs for defence into one attack that overpowers the opponent and crushes them; as the name states.
  • Storm Surge: While aided by the rubber wings, Zurafa repels the attack of an incoming beyblade by counter attacking forcefully. It absorbs the attack power of the enemy using the rubber wings and drains their stamina, easily repeling the opponent and causing them damage. This is Dashan's primary special move.
  • Strong Arm Flash: Zurafa gathers its momentum and thrusts into the opponent at full force.
  • Strong Arm Barrage: Zurafa gathers its momentum and releases the kinetic energy in a barrage of attacks.
  • Solid Iron Wall: Beylin Temple's 4000 Year Old Special Move; an absolute defence field that is aided by Zurafa's rubber wings to repel any opponents attacks no matter how powerful or how weak the attack.

Trivia

  • Despite the Face Bolt depicting the Qilin, there is a constellation is space based on a giraffe. It is "Camelopardalis", one of the 88 constellations in space. Camelopardalis is the romanisation of the Greek word, "καμηλοπάρδαλις" meaning "giraffe".
  • "Zurafa", is Arabic for giraffe.
  • Rock Zurafa has been released by Hasbro in three different forms; The regular, the Mobile Stadium Zurafa, and the Crushing Blast face-off pack.
  • Even though Rock Zurafa is really strong in the anime, it is not very good in reality because WB is really low, so when the Bey gets hit, it tilts back slightly. When the Rubber in R145 scrapes the stadium floor, it creates fricton and loses 3/4 of it's total stamina. Also, Rock has High Recoil which is also a major disadvantage.
  • This Beyblade can use Spin Steal power against a low left spinning bey because of the R145 spin track.
