Soar Phoenix 9-60GF Hasbro F9324

Description

Soar Phoenix is a classic, one of the oldest Attack Beys in Beyblade X. Its blade is three-sided: three wide wings form the main contact points, and all three slope upwards. That lets it hit from below and lever opponents out of the stadium. At the base of each wing a launcher hook sticks out over the edge, and right beneath it sit the three large prongs of the 9-60 ratchet: together they make three attack points with a strong Smash Attack. The other six prongs are just small bumps; because they barely stick out and the ratchet sits low, the 9-60 bursts less often than other 60 ratchets.

At 46.5 g it is on the heavy side for an Attack Bey: the weight puts momentum into every hit and helps it hold its spin. Its movement comes from the Gear Flat bit: it runs extremely aggressively and catches the Xtreme Line more easily for the Xtreme Dash. Its stamina value of 5, on the other hand, is low even for an Attack Bey, so its spin doesn't last particularly long. The rule of thumb for this Bey: go in early and look for the knockout or the Xtreme Finish.

By tournament points, the Soar Phoenix blade ranks 7th of 110 blades, and the 9-60 ratchet even 2nd of 36 ratchets (as of 1 September 2026). In okuyama3093's ranking (S to D), the blade gets the top grade, S. For ilinnuc, the Soar Phoenix blade is still a tournament favourite you see all the time, almost three years after its release, and the 9-60 is a Hall of Fame part: small, balanced and without big weak spots for bursting. On the Gear Flat bit, ilinnuc is more reserved: very fast and aggressive, but its stamina fades quickly, and it is fairly hard to control. In the tournament standings, Gear Flat ranks 39th of 49 bits; the blade is mostly seen on a 1-60 or 3-60 ratchet with a Rush bit. If you have a Rush bit, try it here. On durability, BeybladeGeeks' verdict on the Soar Phoenix blade is mostly critical. In their test, a fairly new Soar Phoenix held its 9-60 ratchet firmly, while on a heavily played one it came loose with almost no effort: wear and differences between individual copies loosen the connection, according to BeybladeGeeks.

In the Beyblade X anime, Khrome Ryugu battles with it: in episode 25, Soar Phoenix shrugs off Dagger Dran's Xtreme Dash as if nothing had happened. In episode 28, the commentator calls it a heavy, powerful Bey.

Takara Tomy released it in Japan on 27 December 2023 as Phoenix Wing 9-60GF; at Hasbro it comes as Soar Phoenix 9-60GF with a red Metal Coat in the Deluxe String Launcher Set. Since October 2024 the blade has been made from a new, reinforced mould.

The box contains a String Launcher instead of the usual Ripcord Launcher: you launch with a string instead of a rack; which type sits better in your hand is a matter of taste. Soar Phoenix belongs to the BX series, the Basic Line of Beyblade X.
