DIY LED Rio

The LED Rio has a more dependable setup. yoyofriends noticed durability and easy-activation issues with the original, so every new run of LED Rio is now the DIY version. Each one comes with the batteries, LED modules, and covers pre assembled for fully functional light up, and a full assembly tutorial is on the yoyofriends YouTube channel if you want to see how it all fits together.

Underneath the lights, Rio is yoyofriends' highest performing plastic yet. It follows the heritage of the AoE and Dove profiles, adding width and rim weight for a significant boost in power and stability. A beadblasted aluminum cap and hub give it a great surface for fingerspin tricks, so it works just as well off the string as on it.

Rio is yoyofriends' answer for a plastic yo-yo that can stand up to a monometal in performance, excel at fingerspin, and still stay budget friendly. Grab one, light it up, and see how much plastic can do.
