Duncan Trans-Axtion Yo-Yo – Vintage 1999 Transaxle String-Trick Yo-Yo

Duncan Trans-Axtion Yo-Yo – Vintage 1999 Transaxle String-Trick Yo-Yo

The Duncan Trans-Axtion Yo-Yo is a classic late-1990s string-trick yo-yo released around 1999, during a pivotal era in modern yo-yo design. Built as part of Duncan’s early transaxle lineup, the Trans-Axtion was engineered to deliver significantly longer spin times than traditional fixed-axle yo-yos, making advanced string tricks more accessible.

Instead of a ball bearing, the Trans-Axtion uses a plastic transaxle sleeve, offering smooth, consistent performance while retaining a responsive feel. Its wing-shaped body, removable side caps, and starburst response system reflect the transitional design period that led into later Duncan models such as the Freehand.
