In 2015 when team member Ryosuke was due for a signature yo-yo he wanted to modernize the Project. The Rebirth is bigger than the Project and has Side Effects. It became the definitive version of the Project for the last 8 years.
Ryosuke correctly suggested it was time again to do more. The Reboot is here. Looking at the catch zone, it looks identical to a Rebirth. However, there are significant changes: It is made out of 7075 aluminum alloy, is "Boosted" (a 7075 version of a yo-yo that weighs less even though 7075 alloy weighs more than 6061 alloy), and has new beautiful "Projection Profile" grooves in the cup.
The Reboot weighs 3 grams less than the Rebirth coming in at 63.4 grams with Ultra Lights.
