Hybrid Wheel System (HWS)
This system was released in 2008 in Japan and in 2010 worldwide. Hasbro calls the HWS the Performance Top System. It introduces new components making the Beyblades more complex including a wheel made of polycarbonate and more technically advanced bottoms. These kinds of Beyblades are part of Beyblade: Metal Fusion. All parts of an HWS beyblade are plastic except for the fusion wheel.
Names of Beyblades can now be determined by their parts. For example, Storm Pegasis 105RF has a 'Pegasis' Energy Ring/Clear Wheel, 'Storm' Fusion Wheel/Metal Wheel, '105(10.5mm)' Spin Track/Track, and a 'RF (Rubber Flat)' Bottom/Performance Tip.
- Face/Face Bolt: Playing a much larger role than the Bit Chip, the face is the screw that holds all parts together.
- Clear Wheel/Energy Ring: These are composed of CPC (Plycarbonate). Aerodynamics sometimes are a factor, and are used as a hold for the launcher hooks.
* Metal Wheel/ Fusion Wheel: These create a frame for the Clear Wheel and make the most contact with the opposing beyblade.
- Track/Spin Track: These determine the height of the Beyblade. Some are just heights (145,100,230,etc.), but some also have special features, such as metal balls (GB145/Gravity Ball 145), down-force fans (DF145/Down Force 145, UW145/Upper Wing 145, T125/Tornado 125) claws (C145/Claw 145, WD145/Wide Defense 145), spinning horns (H145/Horn 145, ED145/Eternal Defense 145) and height switch track (Change Height 120/CH120 and TH170/Triple Height 170).
- Bottom/Performance Tip: In this system, there are new Performance Tips to ensure greater performance, and have distinct classes; Attack tips are flat for aggressive movement (F,HF,CS RF,R2F,MF,etc.), Defense Tips are high friction (CS ,RS,RSF, etc.] While Stamina Tips are low-friction sharp/round tips and sometimes free-spinning tips (WD,PD,SD,D,EDF,EWD,etc.)

Famous quotes containing the words wheel and/or system:
“Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
