Gryph ChW & Archer CrW

The Gryph Chromium Wheel has a motif design of a "Griffon", a four legged bird. Like the Motif the Bey has  single hawk-like head and four "scaled" outer sections with two wing design in its inner circumference. The 5 extruding sections have both Attack and Defense abilities.

The Archer Crystal Wheel resembles a Bow and Arrow as its motif is of an Archer. The Bi-symmetric design creates an off-set weight on two sides which makes the Bey sway when in motion. Similar to 4D's Lyra Clear Wheel.

The Magnetic Mass Saturation Graph shows that the Gryph Chromium wheel has quite an even weight distribution between it metal structure. The thin outer walls with hollow inner linings increases "recoil".

The Gryph Chromium Wheel weighs at 29.74g.

The full Synchrom Gryph ChW weighs 59.46g.

The Archer Gryph also comes with a past generation part Claw145. Nothing different in design and pretty much the same as the older series versions

It also comes with Sharp Bottom. No differ when compared with the older series version.

Performance

The Archer Gryph C145S when launch in the standard ZeroG Attack Stadium, goes into Stamina mode almost with no delay.

But when a high tilt is made the C145 hits against the stadium surface and causes some serious tilting issues as the tilt balance of the Bey is affected by the Archer CrW.

Bey Battle Trials

Battle trial is done between another Balance type Bey from the Fire Elemental.
Archer Gryph C145S vs Shinobi Saramanda SW145SD

The Battle started off with a very big recoil when the two beys came in contact in the center of the stadium causing both Archer and Shinobi to recoil off balanced only to hit the edge of the stadium.

The recoil fron the beys took most of the stamina out of their spin after a couple clashes and after 16secs...

Archer Gryph, Sleep Out.

The issue here might be the Balance factor of the ChW and CrW. Unlike the unbalanced Archer Crystal Wheel that Gryph have, Shinobi CrW is much Symmetrically designed and balanced out the overall tilt better. The C145 also slowed the Archer Glyph down greatly as its "claws" were more in contact with the surface then the SW145.

Overall, the Archer Gryph C145S is more of a pure Stamina Bey and lack serious Stamina values due to its C145 Track and unbalanced Archer Crystal Wheel. The Gryph Chromium Wheel proves to be able to pack a full recoil even to the thick armored Saramanda ChW, would recommend to be used in an attack combination. The Archer Gryph C145S is as average Bey but worth getting as a collection.
