Beyblade X CX System Guide

CX stands for Custom Line, the third parts system Takara Tomy introduced for Beyblade X, following the original Basic Line (BX) and Unique Line (UX). Every earlier system built a top from three parts stacked in the same order: Blade, Ratchet, Bit. CX keeps the Ratchet and Bit but splits the Blade itself into three separate pieces, so a complete CX combo is five parts in total: a Lock Chip, a Main Blade, an Assist Blade, a Ratchet, and a Bit.

Why the Blade got split into three

In BX and UX, the Blade is one fixed unit — its weight distribution, contact profile and shape are locked in as soon as you pick that Blade. CX breaks that unit apart. The Main Blade is a metal-and-plastic ring that does most of the work: it is the primary contact surface in a battle and carries most of the assembly's mass, so it plays roughly the same role a full BX or UX Blade used to play on its own. The Lock Chip and Assist Blade sit around it and are swappable independently, which is where the "Custom" name comes from — you can mix a Lock Chip from one CX product with the Main Blade and Assist Blade from another, giving far more possible combinations than a single-piece Blade ever allowed. Community references such as BeyBase's CX buyer's guide treat the Main Blade as the main stat-defining component, with the Lock Chip and Assist Blade described as secondary tuning parts that shift weight distribution and recoil behaviour rather than driving the core stats on their own.

The first CX release

The system launched with CX-01 "Dran Brave" (notation S6-60V), released in Japan on March 29, 2025 at an MSRP of ¥2,200. It's an Attack-type, right-spin combo, and its product number opens the CX-01, CX-02, CX-03… sequence that Takara Tomy uses for Japan-market CX releases. Hasbro's Western CX lineup follows its own separate numbering and release schedule rather than mirroring the Japanese one directly, so a CX product code from one market doesn't necessarily line up with the equivalent release in the other.

Beyond CX-01's specifics, a full list of CX product codes and blade names, and precise gram weights for individual Lock Chips, Main Blades and Assist Blades, aren't something we can confirm here — those details live on a per-product basis (sites like beybxdb.com track them release by release) and are worth checking directly rather than assuming from a listing photo. As with any Beyblade X part, confirm the exact components in the box against what an event or tournament actually permits before you build with it.

Frequently asked questions

What does CX mean in Beyblade X?

CX stands for Custom Line, the third parts system after the Basic Line (BX) and Unique Line (UX). It keeps the Ratchet and Bit but splits the Blade itself into three pieces, so a complete CX combo is five parts in total: a Lock Chip, a Main Blade, an Assist Blade, a Ratchet, and a Bit.

What was the first CX Beyblade release?

The system launched with CX-01 "Dran Brave" (notation S6-60V), released in Japan on March 29, 2025 at an MSRP of ¥2,200. It is an Attack-type, right-spin combo, and its product number opens the CX-01, CX-02, CX-03 sequence Takara Tomy uses for Japan-market CX releases.

Which CX part defines a combo's stats?

Community references such as BeyBase's CX buyer's guide treat the Main Blade as the main stat-defining component — it is a metal-and-plastic ring, the primary contact surface in a battle, and it carries most of the assembly's mass. The Lock Chip and Assist Blade are secondary tuning parts that shift weight distribution and recoil behaviour.

Can you mix CX parts between different CX products?

Yes. The Lock Chip and Assist Blade sit around the Main Blade and are swappable independently, so you can mix a Lock Chip from one CX product with the Main Blade and Assist Blade from another. That is where the "Custom" name comes from — it allows far more possible combinations than a single-piece Blade ever allowed.
