Beyblade X Aero Pegasus Guide

Aero Pegasus 3-70A, product code UX-00, is the Beyblade X release most listings describe wrongly. It is an Attack Type blade, right-spin, and in its original blue-green form it was never sold in a shop at all — it was a free prize drawn inside Takara Tomy's mobile app, so it has no retail price to quote. A paid Red Ver. followed in 2026 on a revised, heavier mould, and that channel has since closed too. This guide covers what the three parts actually do, how to tell the two versions apart, and why the second-hand market for them split in half over the summer.

What the 3-70A combo is made of

Three parts, in the standard Blade / Ratchet / Bit structure the parts explained guide sets out. The Aero Pegasus blade is Attack Type and right-spin, with three curved, upward-slanting contact points built for Upper and Smash attacks; its signature feature is six "air duct" holes, three inner and three outer, intended to cut drag. The 3-70 ratchet has three identical protrusions at a 7.0mm height. The Accel bit (A) is a flat tip with a shallow central indentation that carries sixteen gears instead of the usual twelve, buying a faster Xtreme Dash at the cost of stamina — the same trade the gear Bits guide covers in full.

The blade belongs to the UX (Unique) line, whose defining trick is moulded resin launcher hooks in place of metal ones. That frees metal mass to be pushed out to the blade's rim, raising Outward Weight Distribution: more mass further out, more hitting power. Aero Pegasus pushed further with a Double Metal Coat in blue over green — two coats of metal paint rather than one. The Beyblade Wiki records that as doubling the usual bonus, +10 attack rather than +5; the Metal Coat guide explains why a finish is not automatically a performance claim. At roughly 38g the blade was the heaviest attack blade in Beyblade X at launch, since surpassed by Impact Drake. Published weights run anywhere from 38.05g to 38.77g across sources, which is two moulds plus unit variance rather than a contradiction — "roughly 38g" is the honest figure.

The bit in the box is not the bit that wins

This is the part almost every write-up skips. The stock 3-70A configuration is not what turns up in results — the box is a delivery mechanism for one part, the blade. Community tracker BeyWatch.gg, aggregating self-reported tournament results with data to 6 September 2026, had the blade itself at second of 39 with a 35.9% first-place rate across roughly 1,995 top-cut appearances. The combos underneath that figure all replace the Accel bit:

Combo	First-place rate	Top cuts in sample
Aero Pegasus 3-60R	46.4%	112
Aero Pegasus 1-70R	41.0%	61
Aero Pegasus 7-60R	39.7%	151
Aero Pegasus 1-50R	38.6%	171
Aero Pegasus 1-60R	37.5%	315 (most used)

Every one of them runs a Rush bit. Bit preference across that same sample ran Rush 43.2%, Low Rush 14.8% and Kick 14.6%; Accel does not feature. Japanese hands-on reviewers give the reason plainly: Accel's extra speed makes self-knockout easy, and they recommend Rush or Level instead. Two caveats belong with those numbers. They are self-reported results pooled from community events, not an audited ranking, and the sample shifts week to week. And BeyWatch.gg, whose statistics are the best available, mislabels this blade as "BX Line" — it is UX. The figures hold; the metadata does not.

Two versions exist, and only two

Date	What happened
12 July 2024	Takara Tomy announces Aero Pegasus 3-70A
30 July 2024	Added to Rare Bey Get Battle in the Beyblade X app
28 November 2025	Exchange ends; "next exchange undetermined"
1 January 2026	Red Ver. announced
21 February 2026	Red Ver. general sale opens at ¥1,600 including tax
23 March 2026	Red Ver. added to the regular Rare Bey Get Battle
31 July 2026	Red Ver. sales end; "next sale undetermined"
Late November 2026	Final pre-ordered batch ships

The original was a prize, not a product. Players ground the app for Bey Points, drew a Rare Bey Exchange Ticket at a community-documented 0.7% chance, and redeemed it for the physical bey free, paying only ¥350 shipping. There is therefore no MSRP for the blue-green version, and any "retail price" quoted for it is invented. The Red Ver. inverted that: officially "UX-00 Booster [App/Event Limited] Aero Pegasus 3-70A Red Ver.", ¥1,600 including tax, one app authentication code per unit, a maximum of twelve per person, Japan domestic shipping only and a Takara Tomy Mall account required.

The Red is not a recolour. It is the second, revised mould, and it is heavier: a Japanese reviewer measured the blade at 38.77g against the original's 38.05g, noting that sculpting revisions had significantly increased weight, and the Beyblade Wiki independently records a first mould at about 38.2g and a second at about 38.7g. In a game where competitive players buy ten or twenty copies of one bey hunting weight variance, three-quarters of a gram is not cosmetic. Two separate production batches shipped, in late July and late November 2026, which is direct evidence the run was extended rather than fixed. One point stays unresolved and should not be stated either way: the Red Version's official product name no longer carries the Double Metal Coat designation, though it uses the heavier revised mould, and at least one Japanese reviewer describes it as dual-coated anyway.

One trap to avoid. Searching for a red Aero Pegasus also surfaces the CX-00 Pegasus Blast ATr Metal Coat Red, a CoroCoro event exclusive. That is a different beyblade entirely — different blade, different product line — and the Pegasus Blast guide covers it separately. There is only one red Aero Pegasus.

Why the two versions no longer cost the same

Through the middle of 2026 a single range, roughly USD 150 to 400, described the whole nameplate, and that was fair at the time. It is not any more. Checking international hobby sellers on 7 September 2026, the two versions have decoupled: Red Ver. asks ran roughly USD 158 to 240, listed at several shops with stock still showing, while the original blue-green Double Metal Coat ran roughly USD 220 to 590, mostly sold out, with one seller capping purchases at one per customer. The counter-intuitive result is that the red one is the affordable one and the blue-green original is the expensive one.

Treat every figure there as a seller's ask gathered on a single day rather than an audited sale price — asks on scarce items move fast and vary by condition, completeness and platform. No ringgit price for either version appears on any source we could check, so if you are quoted one locally, that is one seller's number and nothing more. The buying authentic gear guide covers how to compare a listing against official product information before you commit.

What to confirm before you buy or bring one

Start with which version you are actually being offered, because colour is the only reliable tell and the mould follows from it: blue-green is the 2024 original and the lighter first mould, red is the 2026 reissue and the heavier second. A weight claim in a listing cannot be verified from a photograph. Check completeness too — the value sits almost entirely in the blade, since the 3-70 ratchet and the Accel bit are ordinary parts available separately.

On legality: the WBO X Format ban list contains exactly one entry, the Metal Needle bit, banned in May 2024 for damaging stadiums. Neither Aero Pegasus, the 3-70 ratchet nor the Accel bit appears on any ban or limited list, and the blade has been a fixture in sanctioned play since release. Organisers still set their own eligibility on the day, so ask yours rather than assuming, and check the parts for wear before you enter with them.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get Aero Pegasus UX-00?

The original blue-green version was never sold. It was distributed as a prize through Takara Tomy's Rare Bey Get Battle campaign inside the Beyblade X app, where a Rare Bey Exchange Ticket dropped at a community-documented 0.7% chance and was redeemed free apart from shipping. That exchange closed on 28 November 2025. The paid Red Ver. that followed at 1,600 yen ended sales on 31 July 2026, so both official channels are now shut and the second-hand market is the only route.

Is the Aero Pegasus Red Ver. just a recolour of the original?

No. The Red Ver. is a second, revised mould and it is measurably heavier: a Japanese reviewer recorded 38.77g against the original's 38.05g, and the Beyblade Wiki lists a first mould at about 38.2g and a second at about 38.7g. The Red Version's official product name no longer carries the Double Metal Coat designation, though it uses the heavier revised mould, so treat the coating question as unsettled rather than decided.

Which bit do players actually run on Aero Pegasus?

Rush, not the Accel bit that comes in the box. In tracker data to 6 September 2026 every top-performing Aero Pegasus combo used a Rush bit, with 3-60R at a 46.4% first-place rate and 1-60R the most used at 37.5% across 315 top cuts. Accel does not appear in the bit preference breakdown at all, and Japanese reviewers recommend swapping it because its extra speed makes self-knockout easy.

Why is the blue-green Aero Pegasus more expensive than the red one?

Because only the blue-green version was genuinely scarce. It came from a lottery that closed in November 2025 with no successor, while the Red Ver. was sold for money across two production batches. Checking international sellers on 7 September 2026, Red Ver. asks ran roughly USD 158 to 240 with stock still showing, and the blue-green original ran roughly USD 220 to 590 and was mostly sold out. Those are asking prices on a single day, not settled values.

Is Aero Pegasus banned in tournaments?

No. The WBO X Format ban list contains exactly one entry, the Metal Needle bit, banned in May 2024 for damaging stadiums. Aero Pegasus, the 3-70 ratchet and the Accel bit appear on no ban or limited list, and the blade has been a fixture in sanctioned play since release. Individual organisers still set their own eligibility rules, so confirm with yours before an event.
