Is it this decent? Sorry I can't provide the weights, we used to have a scale to measure this but it would appear that we no longer own it :\ It would be totally boss if someone else could weigh these Thanks guys!

==Stone Face: Genbull==
*'''Weight:''' 1.2 grams
The sticker on this Stone Face represents a comical illustration of a turtle shell with an eye peering from the hole. Genbull is based on Genbu, or Xuan Wu, the black tortoise with a snake coiling around it in Chinese mythology.
==Chrome Wheel: Genbull==
*'''Weight:''' grams
Sat atop a very circular base is a mostly hexagonal shape. Four straight lines, to on each side, create a design reminescent of the [[Libra DF145BS|Libra Wheel]]. Another mostly straight edge is built at the top of the Genbull Chrome Wheel, where the Crystal Wheel's orb is inserted. At the bottom, however, there is a small turtle head designed but it does not protrude that much from the overall circular shape of the real bottom of this Chrome Wheel.
Having a concentrated center of gravity, even weight distribution, and a relatively round, smooth shape, Genbull has shown serious competitive use in stamina customizations in both the BB-10 attack type stadium and the Zero-G stadium when used with the TB and CS bottoms, and has shown defensive potential as well.
Genbull's above-average weight renders it superior in the face of other competitive stamina metal wheels such as Duo when used in a Zero-G stadium, for the sake of resisting sway attack types. Chrome Wheel combinations such as Killerken Genbull and Genbull Genbull have begun to dominate the Zero-G metagame as stamina types go due to the reasons stated above.
Genbull has shown to be on par with Duo in a stamina match-up, even in a BB-10 stadium when used with the right track and bottom setup, and as such is considered by some to be an extremely competitive choice for stamina due to its impressive defensive properties, weight, and synergy with the TB and CS bottoms.
==When used as the top Chrome Wheel in a Synchrom==
Genbull can provide very impressive stamina when used as the top chrome wheel in a synchrom, as well as noticeable defensive properties.
It has notable stamina when paired with the Chrome Wheels Killerken and Reviser, and can also be utilized in may defense customs with these two to provide a boost in stamina, and as such is very competitive in terms of stamina/defense when used as the top chrome wheel in a Synchrom.
==When used as the bottom Chrome Wheel in a Synchrom:==
Genbull can provide a minor boost in spin velocity on the bottom of a Synchrom, but there is no real competitive use for it. Genbull can perform much, much better when used as the top Chrome Wheel in a Synchrom or when synchromed with itself.
==When used synchromed with itself==
Genbull is a very, very successful stamina Chrome Wheel when used in a Synchrom with itself. Genbull Genbull has found many uses in stamina customizations throughout the BB-10 and Zero-G metagame, and can also be utilized effectively in mid-height defensive customs. This Chrome Wheel can be an extremely effective tool when paired with the right parts, and as such, has been one of the most competitively useful chrome wheels to be released.
==Use in stamina customization==
For the various reasons stated in the above paragraphs, Genbull can be utilized to extreme effect in the following stamina customizations:
Genbull Genbull SR200TB/CS
Genbull Genbull TH170TB
==Use in defense customizations==
For the various reasons stated in the above paragraphs, Genbull can be utilized effectively in the following defense customs:
MSF-H Genbull Genbull BD145RDF/RB
Reviser Genbull E230CS/RB/RSF/RDF/RS
==Crystal Wheel: Bandid==
*'''Weight:''' 4.8 grams
Its original color is green. A clear derivative of a "bandit", Bandid oddly does not have a design reminiscent of those characters. It vaguely illustrates some longer daggers, but it mostly complements Goreim's shape entirely: like the latter, this Crystal Wheel has block shapes with ridges in them.
As all Crystal Wheels, Bandid is Heavily outclassed by Synchrom, or the joining of two chrome wheels together. The Bandid Crystal Wheel should never be considered for competitive play.
==Track: Free 230==
*'''Weight:''' grams
This Track's gimmick is that it is completely free-spinning. It is implied that it can make the Chrome Wheel it is attached to rotate in the opposite direction to the one it was launched in, simply after a hit with another Beyblade of the same original spin. However, in practice this would both be impossible, and, due to the fact the Beyblade would momentarily be stationary as it changed directions, result in an automatic loss.
F230's core section is larger than regular tracks such as 145 and 230 to accommodate the free-spinning mechanism, while the end of the Track bears a much larger version of the irregular structure used for the base of most Bottoms.
The F230 Track, although shown to be outclassed by 230 in terms of stamina customizations, has shown startling potential in the field of spin-equalization when used with the CF bottom.
The free-spinning shaft of F230 allows the combination using it to continue rotating after it has fallen onto the wide ridge of CF, which keeps the Metal/Chrome Wheel from touching the ground as it spins, providing a very prominent display of LAD capabilities.
An F230CF setup has proven to be one of, if not the, highest LAD track-bottom setups ever, and as such is extremely useful in spin-equalizing customizations in both BB-10 or Zero-G format.
TAKARA TOMY released this track in two different beyblades, one of which was Bandid Genbull. The second version of the track was released with Thief Saramanda F230SF in the BBG-26 Random Booster vol. 3. Hasbro also released this track in the Behemoth Golem Earth Synchrom 2-pack, with Berserker Behemoth F230TB.
The F230 released with Saramanda is brown in color, and the track released with Hasbro's Earth Synchrome 2-pack is red in color, as opposed to the bright orange track purchased with Bandid Genbull.
The brown and red F230 tracks have shown problems with ware, and the free-spinning function of the track seems to be hindered, squeaking and scraping, as opposed to the smooth, consistent free-spinning function of the orange F230, which works very well when applied to spin-equalization.
==Use in spin-equalization customizations==
The F230 track, for the reasons stated above, can be utilized in the following spin-equalizing customizations.
Reviser/Genbull/Killerken/Gargole Dragooon F230CF
Duo/Death Cygnus/Cancer F230CF
==Bottom: Twin Ball==
*'''Weight:''' grams
TB is simply a Wide Ball Bottom with a smaller ball at its tip. This causes it to wobble slightly.
TB has found potential in stamina customizations in both the BB-10 stadium and the Zero-G stadium. TB is preferred over most bottoms for stamina against the same spin in Zero-G stadiums due to its impressive ability to resist sway attack types, something which other popular Zero-G stamina bottoms such as BWD/W2D cannot do.
TB, as shown by testing so far, can be utilized very effectively when used with SR200 or TH170, and also performs notably well when used with the Genbull Chrome Wheel, taking advantage of its weight.
However, unlike WD or EWD, TB is relatively vulnerable to opposite-spin customizations due to its rounded shape, and one should avoid using it in an opposite-spin match-up whenever possible, as stamina setups like W145WD are a safer pick in such a scenario.
Despite this fact, as shown by its impressive numbers against same-spin opponents, TB is definitely a competitive stamina part in any stadium format, and is an essential part to any blader majoring in stamina.
==Use in stamina customization==
TB, for the reasons stated above, can be utilized effectively in the following stamina customizations.
Genbull Genbull/Duo Aquario SR200/TH170TB
==Other Versions==

==Overall==
The Genbull Chrome Wheel and TB bottom are both must-have parts for bladers majoring in stamina, and F230 has shown extremely high LAD capabilities and serious potency when used with spin-equalizing setups. Almost every part on this beyblade (with the exception of Bandid) is very, very competitive. Every seriously competitive blader should own at least one of this beyblade.
