iYoYo SUNRiSE – a looping YoYo with real 2A DNA

Dave’s take

“2A has always been my main division, so it bothered me for years that iYoYo did not have its own looping YoYo. The breakthrough came through Bill de Boisblanc, my former YoYoJam mentor and Sunset signature partner. His idea was to combine the proven Loop720 shape with the larger YoYoJam-style bearing setup.
After several prototypes, SUNRiSE was born. To me, it plays exactly the way a good looping YoYo should: controllable, fast, slightly bouncy at the end of the string and with enough spin for long 2A combos.”

• Designed for 2A / looping → fast, controlled loops and two-handed trick sequences
• Loop720 shape + custom Size-B setup → proven body design combined with a specially tuned bearing and spacer system
• Starburst response → direct and reliable return for precise looping
• Slightly bouncy feel at the end of the string → helps maintain rhythm and control through longer loop sequences
• Surprisingly long sleepers → enough spin reserves for more advanced 2A combos and transitions

An old idea turned into a modern 2A YoYo

SUNRiSE was created through a collaboration between iYoYo, YoYoFactory and Bill de Boisblanc. It uses the proven YoYoFactory Loop720 shape combined with a specially adapted Size-B bearing and custom spacer setup.

The concept came from Bill de Boisblanc, Dave’s long-time friend and mentor from the YoYoJam days. Together, they had previously worked on the legendary Sunset Trajectory, the looping YoYo Dave used for many of his 2A titles.

Control without unnecessary tuning

SUNRiSE is not about overwhelming you with endless axles, spacers and response combinations. The setup is designed to work well straight out of the box and provide a consistent, predictable looping feel.

The combination of Starburst response and Size-B bearing delivers a direct return while still providing enough spin. One of its defining characteristics is the slightly bouncy feel at the end of the string, which helps maintain rhythm through repeated loops.

From your first loops to full 2A combos

At 51.63 g, SUNRiSE stays light and fast enough for quick looping sequences while still offering enough stability and sleeper time for more advanced tricks, transitions and two-handed 2A combinations.

This makes it a strong choice both for players seriously getting into looping and for experienced 2A players who want a simple, reliable setup.
