Lextreme 2.0

YoYoJam - Rextreme 2.0
An upgraded version of the Rextreme.

*If you purchase this Rextreme now, you will receive a signature from Rei Iwakura and one K-String XL yellow string, the same length as the one actually used by Iwakura.

After a long planning process and many prototypes, the Lextreme is finally complete. The signature player, 2008 4A World Champion Ray Iwakura, refused to compromise until the very end, and this is the high level of perfection that has been achieved. In contrast to the distinctive appearance that will set the standard for the future, the various details that have been carefully crafted to be accepted by everyone will surely make anyone fall in love with the charm of off-string.

The Rextreme is heavily influenced by the Big Yo, which it is based on. The Big Yo was originally used by Rei Iwakura as his main model, and as a result, the Rextreme has almost the same trapeze effective width as the Big Yo. While maintaining the effective width, the diameter has been reduced, dramatically improving stability and sleep power. At the same time, the problem of it being too large and difficult to grip has been alleviated. While retaining the color of the Big Yo, the Rextreme has successfully refined it into a new combat model by incorporating the latest YoYoJam trends, such as the solid spin mechanism and midship weight.

Up until now, Iwakura has favored the Big Yo-Yo in competitions. The Big Yo-Yo has an overwhelming advantage in terms of effective width, but on the other hand, it has many weaknesses, such as a unique tendency to throw and return, it is prone to tilting, and the sleep does not last as long as other off-string yo-yos. For this reason, not many athletes use it as their main yo-yo. Even with the advantage of the effective width, the difficult to handle Big Yo-Yo was not an option. In Iwakura's case, he has been able to cover the shortcomings of the Big Yo-Yo with experience and technique, and has continued to show amazing performances. However, with the release of the Rextreme, history is about to change dramatically.

The Rextreme is compatible with bouncy, regeneration, and fine rail tricks, and its overwhelming effective width makes difficult toss and recapture tricks easy to perform. It's no wonder that it's an option for competitive players, but we hope that anyone who has had difficulty performing off-string tricks will also try it. The overwhelming effective width lowers the hurdle for off-string tricks, making tosses and recapture tricks that are often difficult to perform much easier for beginners. This is finally a yo-yo that we hope everyone, from first-time off-stringers to world-ranked competitors, will try. There's no doubt that this yo-yo will change the history of off-string tricks.

The new version has a new body material and is heavier, giving it more power and durability. If you remove the cap, you can also attach a lateral cap, allowing you to perform top-on tricks.
(Please remove the cap by making a hole with a suction cup or drill bit.)
The gap width has also been improved, allowing you to play with the optimal off-string setting right from the start without any modifications.

～～～ The Rextreme is a yo-yo that brings together all of YoYoJam's know-how into one off-string yo-yo. The rotational force of the midship weight + the bounce for recovery + the stability of the big yo-yo. Also, the gap width can be adjusted with a shim, so you can cover a wide range of yo-yo feelings, from settings that emphasize regeneration to settings that emphasize rails or body. Off-string yo-yos have evolved so much in recent years that people's preferences vary greatly, requiring fine-tuning of the yo-yo. The Rextreme is a yo-yo that can meet the desires of all kinds of people. Try to find your best setting! ~~~~ (From Rei Iwakura's comment)
