The Beam is the first mold in GYRO-X, which MVP Disc Sports describes as an enhanced version of its GYRO line. MVP rates the current prototype 10/6/-0.5/1, calling the numbers tentative, and labels the disc stable. On those numbers it holds a nearly straight line before a mild finish; its ratings suggest it is less suited to players who want a strong fade. MVP described the Beam in February 2021, as a speed 12, and said it had been prototyping GYRO-X since before its first teaser in 2017. The PDGA approved that version on February 22, 2021 (certification 21-22) and a retooled Beam on October 26, 2026 (certification 26-138, 176.8 g maximum weight). MVP says the mold has been changed to a more throwable 10 speed. Against the 2021 certificate, the retooled disc measures 21.3 cm across instead of 21.2 cm and 1.8 cm tall instead of 1.7 cm, with a 1.1 cm rim depth instead of 1.2 cm and a 2.1 cm rim width instead of 2.3 cm. MVP lists three changes in this version: an ultra-lightweight Fission core, the lower speed, and a smaller but denser GYRO rim with metallized weight filler. MVP says moving more weight to the edge helps a throw keep its spin and hold its line, and lets the disc be made across a wide range of weights; it lists 145 to 175 g. MVP's page presents the release as part of its 2026 GYROpalooza Box, with a triple-foil illustration by Matthew Jorde. As of October 26, 2026, MVP's 20 mm distance-driver class, which MVP orders by relative stability, places the Beam between the Control and the Trail. Try Discs lists it in Fission.
