YoYo Spotlight – Monkeyfinger Gelada 2

August 21, 2014 By YoYoNews

Monkeyfinger Gelada 2

Monkeyfinger Gelada 2 Specs:

Diameter: 57 mm
Width: 44 mm
Gap: 4.50 mm
Weight: 66.6 grams
Response: Monkey Snot Flowable Silicone
Bearing: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187) 10 Ball Bearing

The Gelada 2 is Monkeyfinger’s first “sequel” yoyo, and is a revised version of the Gelada, one of their earliest releases.

PLAY

The Gelada 2 is light, fast, and cuts through modern tricks easily. The yoyo itself has a slightly larger than average diameter (only by a millimeter) but the result is noticeable in the hand…coupled with the light weight of the yoyo this is one of the fastest throws currently available and if there was every something on the market that players could describe as “floaty”, the Monkeyfinger Gelada 2 is that yoyo. The extra diameter gives it some nice stability, and the blasted finish makes grinds so easy it feels like you’re cheating. Monkeyfinger is one of the few companies still offering yoyos stock with flowable silicone response, which gives the player the ability to really fine-tune the level of response for the Gelada 2…a nice feature for players who like to tinker with their equipment.

LOOKS

Monkeyfinger has made a name for themselves with their crazy finishes, and the Gelada 2 doesn’t disappoint! Available in six amazing new colorways (shown above is the Sub Zero), Monkeyfinger once again distinguishes their line by making sure that if you see one of their yoyos…you know it’s from Monkeyfinger. Bright colors, multiple layers and finishes, and really nice anodizing work are what we’ve come to expect from Monkeyfinger, and the Gelada 2 delivers.

VALUE

The Gelada 2 retails for just a hair over $100, which definitely makes it a premium model. But for the quality of the machining and anodization, as well as the fantastic play and unique look and feel of this yoyo, it’s well worth the price tag. Collectors will love the unique colorways, and players will love the feel and build quality.

WIN THIS YOYO!

Want to win the Monkeyfinger Gelada 2 shown above? Just head over to Instagram and post a picture of yourself begging for it. Yup, no joke. Beg for this yoyo on Instagram and hashtag your photo with #yoyonews and #monkeyfinger. We’ll pick one desperate looking winner on Thursday, August 28th at Noon EST. (And make sure you’re following @YoYoNews because, well, we’re pretty awesome and stuff.)

    I think my entry is good, (Of course I’m going to think that though. xD) but some of them look like they have a really good chance! I can’t wait to see who wins.

    Any possible alternate way to send a photo? I know instagram is very popular but I don’t have immediate access to it. I am sure I can call someone and use their phone for a minute if there’s no other possible option… just thought I’d ask.

      It’s a giveaway, and I thought it would be fun to get silly with it. Seriously. Post a picture of yourself on Instagram begging for a Gelada 2, and tag it #yoyonews and I’m picking one winner on Thursday, Aug. 28th.
