How much does a diabolo cost?

A real diabolo costs between 24 € and 74 € in this shop; show models with LED kits fitted or for fire cost more. The one we recommend to almost everyone, the Sundia EVO G2, costs 45 €: 59 € with a pair of sticks, which come with a string, and about 66 € as a complete set with a spare roll of string. The cheapest way to a real diabolo you can play is 38 €.

Diabolos are sold without sticks here, so the number to compare is the price of the set, not of the diabolo alone.

What a complete set costs

A diabolo needs two sticks and a string. A pair of sticks costs 14 € in plastic, 21 € in fibreglass, 24 € in aluminium and from 38 € in carbon, and every pair comes with a string fitted (the D-Lite sticks are the one exception). String is the part that wears out, so the sets below count a spare 10 m roll, from 7 €.

Set	Diabolo	Sticks	Spare string	Total
Budget, to try	Echo 2.0, 24 €	Plastic, 14 €	10 m roll, 7 €	about 45 €
The one we recommend	EVO G2, 45 €	Plastic, 14 €	10 m roll, 7 €	about 66 €
The same, with sticks to keep	EVO G2, 45 €	Carbon, from 38 €	10 m roll, 7 €	about 90 €
Bearing	Magforce NX Bearing, 74 €	Carbon, from 38 €	10 m roll, 7 €	about 119 €

Shipping comes on top: 4.90 € within Germany and free from 90 €, 7.90 € to 8.90 € to the rest of the EU and free from 120 € or 200 € depending on the country. The details are on shipping and returns.

If you would rather be led through it, build your first set step by step: axle, diabolo, sticks and string, then the whole set in one go.

What the price buys

The difference between 24 € and 45 € is not decoration. It is these four things:

• Cups that forgive drops. A beginner drops the diabolo hundreds of times in the first month. The EVO G2 has soft cups made for that; the Echo’s are harder.
• A way to fix a wobble. The EVO G2 carries a stability ring with a sharp edge, so one touch of the string brings a leaning diabolo back. This is what makes learning quicker.
• How precisely it is made. The Echo reaches its price with simpler materials and looser tolerances, so it wears sooner and runs a little less steady than an EVO.
• Parts. An EVO takes every Sundia part: single replacement cups, a bearing axle later, LED kits. You repair it instead of replacing it.

A bearing axle is a separate choice from the price level. It gives longer spins and suits vertical play; a fixed axle gives direct control and the classic friction tricks. Both can be a first diabolo: see fixed axle or bearing axle.

When the cheapest one is enough

Buy the Echo 2.0 when you do not know yet whether the person will play more than a few times: a present for a curious child, a diabolo for the holiday bag, a class set on a small budget. It is a real diabolo with a real axle, and at 24 € it is the lowest price at which we would call it that.

Toy diabolos from a toy or sports shop cost less still. One is enough to find out whether someone likes the movement. What it usually lacks is weight, cups that survive drops and spare parts, which is why we do not sell one.

If the person already plays, or you know they will keep going, skip that step. The EVO G2 is the diabolo they would buy next anyway.

What you pay later

Very little. String is the only thing that wears out: a 10 m roll from 7 € gives several strings, and a 35 m roll of Sundia string costs 13 €. How to choose one is in the best diabolo string.

Sticks rarely break. Cups can be replaced one at a time on a Sundia, so a damaged diabolo does not mean a new diabolo.

Bottom line

Plan about 66 € for a set you will not outgrow: the EVO G2 at 45 €, plastic sticks at 14 € and a spare roll of string. Plan about 45 € with the Echo 2.0 if you only want to try. A bearing adds 8 € to 25 € depending on the model. Only the LED and fire models cost more than 74 €.
