Face: Aries
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Aries, the first astrological sign in the zodiac.

Clear Wheel: Aries
Weight: 2.7g
Aries was originally released as a bright pink Clear Wheel with three “heads” which point outwards, hence forming a roughly triangular perimeter.

Metal Wheel: Rock
Weight: 31.4 grams
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original Leone Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent.

Rock is currently the second heaviest Hybrid Wheel System Wheel to date. However, as a Defense type, it is unable to match the qualities of Metal Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel.

Track: Eternal Defense 145
Weight: 3.6g
ED145 features three “wings” which rotate around the Track freely. The wings are similar to that of WD145. Because of their free-spinning nature, they can be used in Defense customisations, such as MF Libra ED145WB; however, the defensive capabilities of this part are not as effective as C145, as it does not absorb hits as successfully. The wings which rotate are hindered without the mechanism of a bearing, hence creating a force of friction between the wings and the body of the Track, in turn resulting in less significant damage absorption. Furthermore, it is easy for the low attacker’s Wheel to be caught between the Wheel and ED145, hence causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction to the Defense customization.

Bottom: Ball
The Bottom Ball’s tip is, as its name suggests, shaped like a ball. This semi-spherical shape provides a large area for the Bottom to make contact with the Stadium floor; hence increasing friction and making it more difficult to knockout. B’s shape also makes it likely to stay in the central areas of the Stadium, hence maximizing the customization’s distance from the Stadium exits. B is therefore suitable for defensive purposes, although has been outclassed in such a field with the release of WB. One advantage it holds over Wide Ball is that it has more Stamina, and does not require a weakened launch; B can be used if WB is not available.

The Aries clear wheel does have use with low attackers because of it's upward facing spike. Rock has too much recoil to be used for defense, although many people think it is good for attack. ED145 is decent for defense if C145 is not available. Ball has been outclassed by Wide ball, but can be used if wide ball is not available. Rock Aries ED145 B is made out of mostly outclassed parts, but is not entirely bad.
Rock Aries, not Clay
barely any difference.
But there is already a write up on Rock, and Clay is it's lightwheel equivalent anyway. I'm pretty sure that's what Daegor42 is pointing out, that it's already done.
Pretty much. There's even a blurb about Hasbro releasing it as Rock Aries in the beginning.

Yeah, the Clay Aries article already covers everything important, and the Rock description already exists. We write articles based on the original Beyblade they are released with, which in this case was Clay Aries, not Rock Aries.
