Quick overview

The Sundia Fly is a one-way bearing, or clutch, diabolo. It is one of the most sought after and popular diabolos around.

Product details

Designed and used by ace diabolist, Ryo Yabe, this signature diabolo is one of the best one-way bearing diabolos we have seen.


For those unfamiliar with such diabolos, a one-way bearing, or clutch, diabolo has an axle that rotates in one direction but not in the other. Speed is built up in the usual manner by spinning the Fly in the direction that the axle doesn't turn. As with all diabolos, when you perform tricks, the friction exerted on the axle from the string or handsticks slows the diabolo's spin.


Now, here's the clever bit: With the Fly, this effect is greatly reduced because the bearing in the Fly's axle does turn when under such friction. This means that the Fly's rate of deceleration is much less than fixed axle diabolos.


The result is a diabolo that spins quickly for long periods of time, making it easier to pull off long and complicated string tricks. The Fly's bearing, combined with its chunky wide axle, also gives this diabolo exceptionally long stick and finger grinds. Furthermore, the bearing axle means that the Fly is very stable at high speeds.


The Fly is more than just an axle though. Like a lot of Eastern diabolos, the cups are made from a rigid plastic which is very responsive to stick corrections, a feature that is especially useful when playing with multiple diabolos. The plastic cups clean up really well too!


But be warned; because they are plastic these diabolos should not be dropped from height onto rough/hard surfaces as they scratch easier than rubber diabolos.


Purpose built rigid axles and LED light kits can also be bought for the Sundia Fly making it one of the most popular diabolos we stock.


This diabolo is one mean beast!


N.B. If you want to add a light kit to your Fly we'd recommend choosing one of the following colours as they are translucent and will help to make the most of your glow kit: Translucent White, Deep Blue or Light Purple.

Sundia Fly Diabolo

Good Review by Xavier , 25/03/2013

It looks great with light kit and is great and very fast and quiet*. It is better than rubber ones but breaks more easily. This is the best diabolo I've had(I've only had 2)

*it is quiet until about after 1 month and a half of using.
Excellent but wobbles after a while Review by Nath , 15/03/2012

The sundia fly 1 way ball bearing or the clutch bearing diabolos are good value for money. When I first put the diabolo on the string it sped up really quickly in a matter of seconds. The elevator trick is not possible due to the ball bearings on it bit you can do loads of other tricks and moves with this diablo and I would recommend it to lots of different age groups from the young to the old. Overall it is an excellent diabolo however it makes a wierd noise and wobbles too after a while.
Not suitable for workshops Review by Mik , 06/03/2012

I've always taught with rubber diablos (mainly harlequins) but i thought i'd get a top end clutch diabolo to complement my range. I'm a little suprised at just how hard the plastic shells are. Aside from them looking like they could break, they are also quite painful when they crash into legs.

The main issue i have is the maintenance on this diablo. I've had to tinker with the tightness quite a lot and now i'm getting noisy bearings. Judging by the other reviews this is not uncommon.

The clutch system is quite novel but i'm going to stick with the standard type from now on.
very fast Review by josh , 04/02/2012

Within seconds of picking it up you've got speed, grinds for ages and u can do so many legs. With my fixed i could only do 16 now i can do 27 what an achievement. The only down side is u cant do elavators.

Good Diablo but gets noisy Review by Nick , 10/12/2011

This Diablo is really good but after using it for a long time it starts to get noisy which is annoying
Very good Review by Ruadhan , 22/10/2011

I bought this Diabolo a few months ago and to be honest, it would be hard to go back to fixed axle Diabolos.
It takes a bit of getting used to at first but once you've been on it for about 20 minuests you will get the hang of it and think "why have i never got one of these before". it is hard, durable and i definately recomend it.
the only draw back to this product is that performin elevator tricks and a couple of other tricks are impossible because of the bearinged axle.
ENJOY!
