SUS YOYOMECHANICS - Transmission
An undersized full metal yo-yo that dares to stray from the trends of the times and takes advantage of the advantages that come with its small size.
Undersize yo-yos are smaller, with a diameter of around 50-52mm. They are maneuverable, making them ideal for delicate tricks where you can weave through complex strings or slip through your fingers, and they are also easy to handle and maneuver, even for people with small hands.
However, due to its small size, it can be difficult to generate torque, leading to insufficient power and concerns about controllability. This transmission eliminates such disadvantages and allows you to enjoy the advantages that are unique to this size. Susyoyo Mechanics has designed it by incorporating the know-how from its past lineup and a wealth of modern technology.
Manufacturer's comment
"Re-proposing Undersize"
Currently, full size, over size, bimetal and other lightweight, large, high powered models are the mainstream, but this is a deliberately undersized model.
(Around 2014, there was a bimetal model called Trick-Motion that was also undersized and was inspired by it. We designed and named it TransMission as something that connects the time to the present.)
An undersized board is said to be disadvantageous in terms of rotational power, but we have taken this into consideration and designed a shape that ensures the moment of inertia is as efficient as possible to minimize sleep loss during tricks, and we have made up for this disadvantage by improving stability through weight distribution using a wide body.

"Provide accurate information to players"
This is not about the feel or controllability of the guitar, which is often described as heavy or light, but rather about how to clearly convey exactly where the string is hitting the body and how it is moving, and how it is being controlled. We designed the shape of the edge and rim with this in mind.

Even when practicing the same trick, it may become easier to get a feel for when you are more likely to succeed, as well as the precision of successful tricks and the level of improvement in your proficiency.
Because it is undersized, it is easy for players with small hands to handle, so I think it is a model that beginners and young players can use easily. If you are an intermediate or advanced player, try using this T/M to try out the tricks you have learned. You will surely be able to see the accuracy of the trick and the key points.
Once again, as this is the first SUS original model, we made it in a size that is not mainstream. SUS YOYO MECHANICS originally started as a design brand. The model we received was designed with the image of making a racing car. On the other hand, we would like to create the original model with the image of a concept car that appears at a motor show.
We have also asked Takuya Miyazaki ( https://www.instagram.com/_miyataku/ ) to create artwork for this new project, including a new logo design. We hope you will enjoy the updated design.
