Zero Gravity Trekker Yo-Yo - 7075 Aluminum - Slim Line YoYo

from Zero Gravity

The Trekker is a throw we are adding to our slim line family. This project took a while to be completed as we went back and forth with different approaches and multiple prototypes. This project took a couple of years from initial prototyping to launch date.

This time we wanted to bring a larger diameter and more pocketable slim throw with a lighter weight. With the use of 7075 aluminum we achieved having thin walls in certain areas and push out more weight towards the outer diameter to compensate the thin width and cap seat of the Trekker.

Like El MiJo, the Trekker has a hub-system, but now the hubs themselves are completely removable and replaceable. The bearing remains sitting on the body of the throw as most of the throws.

Early prototypes measured 55.1 mm diameter, clocked in at 55 g, and stretched to 29 mm wide. Our mission was to get smaller and lighter without sacrificing playability. In the final build, the Trekker grew 3 mm in diameter, shed 5 g in weight, slimmed down 6 mm in width, and gained a fully rounded profile that fits perfectly in your hand. The ultra-fine blasted finish feels incredible under the hands.

Inside, inverted walls taper from a narrow 2.3 mm at the gap out to 5.9 mm at the catch zone, making tricky binds a breeze and landings more forgiving.

This throw is designed to play with fixed (blank) and responsive bearing with the capability to play with unresponsive bearing if you want to. The Trekker is a light-carry, all-day companion built to spark creativity and elevate your tricks.
