- Main article: Face Bolt - Fox
The Face Bolt depicts "Vulpecula", one of the 88 constellations in space. Vulpecula is Latin for "little fox". It is represented by a goose (Anser) in the jaws of a fox. The design features a fox's head with the left side representing an angel while the right side represents a demon on a purple Face Bolt.
Energy Ring - Fox

Fox is a circular Energy Ring with claw-like ridges circling the perimeter.
Fusion Wheel - Spiral (Screw)
- Main article: Fusion Wheel - Spiral
Spiral resembles a distorted version of Storm with three wings that curve upwards and line down with a small gap between each wing. Each wing has a slope that is bigger than the other one, and features oval-like protrusions that appears to slightly push-up for Smash Attacks. Before its release, Spiral was advertised as having high Upper Attack due to the slopes, however upon testing, it did not show much Upper Attack at all.
While not having the correct slopes for Upper Attacks, it is however able to conduct Upper Smash Attacks. Spiral is a powerful Attack-Type Fusion Wheel but is outclassed by other Wheels like Beat, Lightning, and Variares. Despite this, Spiral can deal a great amount of Upper Smash Attack if used with the right Energy Ring. Specifically, small Energy Rings that expose more of the metal of Spiral, Pisces and Tempo are recommended, however Pisces has better use. Spiral can be used very effectively in the balance combo MF Spiral Tempo (Screw Horogium) 90MF.
Spin Track - Triple Roller 145
- Main article: Spin Track - Triple Roller 145
TR145 is one of the many 145-height Spin Tracks that features a three winged design. Its gimmick is the free-spinning rollers at the points of each wing, which are designed to deflect attacks from below in a manner similar to ED145. While the rollers do not really perform their intended function, they do serve another purpose – they provide the Beyblade with a small amount of Life After Death (LAD) by allowing it to roll along the floor of the Stadium for a short period of time after falling over. This attribute, combined with the relatively small gaps between TR145’s wings and the rather smooth, circular shape of the Spin Track, make it a useful piece for Stamina Type customizations and Spin Equalizers. However, SA165 performs TR145’s LAD function much more efficiently and is at a more advantageous height for Spin Equalization, thus rendering TR145 obsolete.
Performance Tip - Wave Wide Defense (W2D)
- Main article: Performance Tip - Wave Wide Defense
Wave Wide Defense (W2D) is an upgrade of Wide Defense (WD). Wave Wide Defense has a flat surface, with a spike in the center. Compared to its predecessor Wide Defense, Wave Wide Defense has slightly more raw Stamina, and an improvement in Life-After-Death (LAD), allowing it to perform better in Opposite-Spin matchups. However, the spike is prone to wearing quickly, making it more aggressive.

Trivia
- In the anime, W²D is shown in a blue color, but when it was released, the W²D tip was translucent black in color.
- This is the second Bey in the anime to have W²D, the first one Fang Leone 130W²D.
- Both Zeo and Toby have the Fusion Wheel of Dr. Ziggurat's bey, Spiral Capricorn. This may be a reference to them both being part of Hades Inc., which belonged to Dr.Ziggurat.
- Another reference to that of Dr. Ziggurat's Bey is that both Fox and Capricorn are blue.
- Spiral Fox's Facebolt image represents Zeo's character in both Metal Masters and Metal Fury. The light side represents Zeo's benevolence in the past and Metal Fury, and the dark side represents Zeo's fury and hate towards Masamune during Metal Masters.
- The only things changed by Hasbro with this Bey is changing the Fusion Wheel name from Screw to Spiral, and coming with no stickers.
