First Look – Unspoken Project Riddle
Unspoken Project dropped a limited prototype run for the Riddle last month to great feedback, and now they’re finally releasing a full production batch. The Riddle is the first release from this new company from Justin Bui, Noah Burrows, and Alexis JV. We got our hands on an early prototype of the Riddle, and it’s a fun yoyo that shows a lot of potential for this young brand…definitely worth picking up! The Riddle drops tonight (March 17th) at 5 PM PST, only on their website. Check out specs and info below!
After many months of prototyping, we are proud to finally present to you the Riddle! With the help of our investors, who preordered Riddles, we are finally able to share this yoyo with you.
The Riddle is an H shaped yoyo with a scalloped design, initially designed by Justin Bui and tweaked to perfection with the help of Noah Burrows and Alexis JV. The Riddle was designed to be mid-sized, at 54mm, with enough rim weight to be stable and long spinning but light enough, at 63.5g, to remain nimble. The Riddle was crafted from 7068 aluminum primarily for durability, but also to optimize rim weight.
We really hope you like it. All of our efforts have been put into this yoyo and it has sure gone a long way since the first prototype of it. We can’t put this thing down and will bet you that you won’t be able to either.
Unspoken Project Riddle Specs:
Diameter – 54mm
Width – 44mm
Weight – 63.5 grams
Gap Width – 4.4mm
Bearing – Center Trac – Size C
Response – 19mm slim pads
Price – $85 USD
