Beyblade X Sol Eclipse Guide

SolEclipse (CX-09) is a Takara Tomy Beyblade X Custom Line release, sold in Japan from September 27, 2025 as a Starter set — meaning it ships with a launcher, not as a booster you add to an existing one. The set assembles to roughly 48.9g and spins right, and Takara Tomy classifies it as a Balance type: a build meant to hold its own on both offence and defence rather than lean hard into one style.

What's in the box

The stack is Lock Chip Sol, Main Blade Eclipse, Assist Blade Dual (D), Ratchet 5-70, and Bit Trans Kick (TK). Dual names the assist blade — the D in the official designation D5-70TK (SolEclipse Dual Five Seventy Trans Kick) — not the ratchet, which is a plain 5-70. Retailer listings put the Eclipse blade at about 32.3g with a stat split near 47% Attack, 33% Defense and 20% Stamina; the 5-70 ratchet has 5 teeth/protrusions at 7.0mm height and weighs about 6.7g, while the Trans Kick bit is the smallest part at roughly 2.3g and is marketed on burst resistance (around 80% in retailer copy). The headline mechanical feature is that both the Main Blade and the Assist Blade are reversible, and the Trans Kick bit switches height — High or Low mode, set by twisting its guard, about 1mm above or below standard Bit heights — while the 5-70 ratchet's height is fixed, so the same five parts can be rebuilt into different configurations rather than only one fixed shape.

Why players reach for it

Retailer and community write-ups describe two named switchable attack setups — Double Upper Mode and Double Smash Mode — and claim the parts combination supports up to eight distinct mode combinations overall, though the full breakdown of all eight wasn't something we could independently verify. In practice, reviewers say this flexibility is the point: a player can flip the blade or assist-blade orientation and switch the Trans Kick bit between its High and Low heights between matches to answer whatever the opponent is running, instead of swapping to a different bey. The commonly repeated downside is that the reversible, double-sided design leaves a larger central hole than single-mode beys, which some players find harder to seat firmly in the launcher and stadium. In the wider fandom, SolEclipse is associated with the characters Kurosu Surī and Fō.

Sourcing here is Takara Tomy's Japan release plus import-retailer listings; we didn't have access to an official WBO competitive-tier ranking or Takara Tomy's own stat chart for this piece, and there's no confirmed Hasbro Western release date yet.

The Custom Line's five-part architecture is its own topic — the CX system guide covers it in depth, with the parts explained guide as the baseline for the standard three-part stack.
