For those unfamiliar with the G2 Workhorse, it’s a modern responsive yo-yo that Jake from G2 made in collaboration with the Yoyo Boomers Club (of which I am a member.) Two prototypes were released, and the production Workhorse is now on its way. The cool part? Each Workhorse will come with a Throw-Yo Elixir string made specifically for each colorway. This will be the first-ever yo-yo release Throw-Yo has supplied strings for, and I could not be more excited!
Without further ado, here are the strings that come with the Workhorse. The colorway you order will determine the string you’ll get with the yo-yo. Each Workhose will include an Elixir string, a lo-fi “Throw” sticker, and a QR code to purchase more string.
Founders Edition Workhorse – Monobath Chroma Elixir
The first-ever Throw-Yo string was a Monobath Potion, a white and black 100% spun poly string. Monobath Chroma pays homage to that string, but as a 100% trilobal poly Elixir made of black and silver threads. Perfect for the Founders Edition Workhorse.
Unicorn Workhorse – Amalthea Elixir
Amalthea Elixirs, named after The Last Unicorn, will come with the Unicorn Workhorse. It’s a tricolor string with purple, pink, and black, with the purple coming through a bit heavier than the other two threads.
G2 Offroad Workhorse – Woody Wagon Stain Elixir
How could we have a Workhorse without a Woody Wagon Stain string? The Workhorse V1 had 100% spun poly Woody Wagon Stain. The V2 has a spun/trilobal blend. The G2 Off-Road colorway will come with a 100% trilobal Woody Wagon Stain string.
G2 Gotham Workhorse – Booster Elixir
Made for the G2 Gotham colorway, Booster Elixirs are blue and yellow, just like an annoying hero who shows up in Gotham from time to time. Skeets not included.
Cherry Bomb Workhorse – Vermillion Elixir
While Vermillion Elixir may look red and pink, it’s red and copper. The colors pop when the sun hits them. This string will come with the Cherry Bomb colorway.
Clear Workhorse – Pure Soul Purple Elixir
My favorite color string I make is Soul Purple Elixirs. For the clear Workhorse, I wanted to show off a bit of myself, but “upgraded” a bit for this release. Pure Soul Purple Elixirs are purple and silver instead of the normal purple and steel. Unlike the Monobath Chroma, where each color wraps around the other, Pure Soul Purple blends both colors together in each twist of the string.
Gotham looks dope bro.
