The Maple

The Maple by Crucial returns for a second run by overwhelming demand, now available in all new colorways including an exclusive YoYoExpert Edition. This is not just a nostalgic throwback. It is a handcrafted performance piece built for modern play.

From Crucial founder Paul Yath, Maple was designed to capture the warmth and soul of classic wooden yoyos while meeting the expectations of today’s tricks. Precision crafted from 37 layers of Canadian maple veneer, similar to a skateboard deck, each piece is individually machined and finished by Paul himself. The result is strength, consistency, and unmistakable character in every throw.

Aluminum weight rings and hubs enhance spin time and stability, while interchangeable caps allow players to fine tune weight distribution and style. 

Maple does not try to be metal. It offers something different. The organic feel of wood, elevated for the modern era.

On stage or in a laid back session, Maple proves that wood can absolutely keep up.

Pure Maple (Unstained and Unengraved w/ Silver Ring and Silver Hub)
The original natural classic returns. Clean, unstained, and unengraved maple plywood in its purest form. The first run disappeared instantly, leaving many collectors wishing they had acted faster.

This time, you get a blank canvas. Each yoyo ships lightly sanded with no hard wax oil applied. Stain it. Paint it. Engrave it. Or let it age naturally as the oils from your hands create a one of a kind patina. Caps are fully natural with no engraving. Your vision. Your Maple.

Honey Bee (Yellow and Black Stripes w/ Black Ring and Black Hub)
Bold yellow and black stripes paired with sleek black anodized rings create a striking high contrast look. A tribute to the legendary Bumble Bee that inspired countless hours of practice over 20 years ago. Built to inspire hundreds more.

Cotton Candy (Baby Blue and Pink Stripes w/ Blue Ring and Blue Hub)
Bright pink maple layers meet baby blue dyed plywood and anodized aluminum accents. Loud, playful, and impossible to ignore. This is the sweetest piece in any collection.

Kaleidoscope 2 (Rainbow Stripes w/ Orange Ring and Orange Hub)
The best seller from the first drop returns with a twist. Kaleidoscope 2 flips the original layered color scheme for a completely new visual experience, finished with a bright orange anodized ring for eye catching contrast. Missed the first one? This is your chance. Grabbed the original? Complete the set.

Holly Berry (Red and Green Stripes w/ Red Ring and Red Hub)
Rich red and vibrant green layers come together in a festive holiday inspired colorway. Instantly recognizable and full of seasonal spirit. A perfect addition to your collection or a gift that belongs under the Christmas tree.

YoYoExpert Exclusive (Black and Red Stripes w/ Red Ring and Red Hub)
Features the reverse colors of the first YYE Maple: black and red dyed Canadian maple veneers with striking red anodized rings. 

PSA: To easily remove the side caps, you'll need an air compressor to blow air through the opposite side. This ensures a secure fit while still allowing for removal when needed.
