# Sundia vs Henrys diabolos

Updated: 2026-09-03

Sundia and Henrys compared model by model, from the EVO G2 and Henrys Circus to the Magforce and Vision Free, on stability, cups, axles, weight, parts and price.

Sundia and Henrys are the two brands a European beginner is most likely to be
offered, and they are built for different players. Henrys makes rugged
rubber diabolos with a fixed steel axle and no stability ring. Sundia makes
diabolos with a stability ring, replaceable cups and four axle systems. For
a first year either works; from the second year on, Sundia is the one to buy.

## The two companies

**Henrys** is a German juggling manufacturer whose catalogue runs from
juggling balls and clubs to diabolos and yo-yos. Its diabolos, the Circus,
Vision and Jazz families, have been the school and circus standard in Germany
for decades and are made in Germany.

**Sundia** is a Taiwanese manufacturer that only makes diabolos and diabolo
parts. It introduced the first ball-bearing diabolo in 2005 and the first
magnetic bearing axle in 2021, and it is the brand behind most of the diabolos
used at the top competitive level in Taiwan and Japan. More in

## Where each one is stronger

**Henrys is stronger on brute durability, not on price.** A Circus costs
40 to 50 €, as much as or more than an EVO G2, but it is rubber all the way
through; it can be thrown at a wall. There is
nothing to adjust and nothing to lose. For very young children, or a circus
school that hands diabolos to a new class every week, that matters more than
anything below.

**Sundia is stronger everywhere else:**

- **Stability.** The aluminium hub with its sharp ring on the EVO, Magforce
  and Falcon means a lean is corrected with one touch of the string. On a
  Circus the string drags along the whole cup and the correction is slower.
  This is the difference a beginner feels in week two.
- **Progression.** The same EVO G2 you learn on takes a triple-bearing axle
  later, or narrow hubs for two-diabolo work, or LED kits for shows. A Henrys
  diabolo is replaced when you outgrow it.
- **Bearing quality.** Sundia's triple bearing, five bearing and magnetic
  axles are the reference in the bearing world. Henrys' Free models use a
  single bearing centre.
- **Weight.** Sundia fixed-axle models sit at 215 to 240 g; the Circus at
  about 270 g is on the heavy side for children and for long sessions.
- **Parts.** Cups, hubs, axles, bolts and washers are all sold separately.

## Bottom line

Buy Henrys for a very small child or a class set that has to survive
anything. Buy Sundia for anyone who wants to keep playing: the
[EVO G2](/product/evo-g2-white) at 40 € for fixed axle, the
[Magforce](/product/magforce-bearing-black) at 66 € for a bearing. See also

## Questions

**Is Sundia better than Henrys?**

For anyone who wants to progress beyond the basics, yes. Sundia builds every model around a stability ring and offers fixed, triple-bearing, five-bearing and magnetic axles with replaceable cups. Henrys builds durable rubber diabolos with a single fixed steel axle and no ring. For a toddler or a circus school that only needs something indestructible, Henrys is a fine choice.

**Which is more durable, a Sundia EVO or a Henrys Circus?**

The Circus's rubber shells are close to indestructible and survive concrete. The EVO's soft cups take normal drops for years, and if one cup does crack it is replaced for 16 € instead of buying a new diabolo.

**Why do professionals use Sundia rather than Henrys?**

Stability under correction. The sharp stability ring on the EVO, Magforce and Falcon means the string touches one point when you fix a lean, which is what fast, multi-diabolo and vertical play depend on. The bearing options come from the same design.

**Where can I buy Sundia in Germany?**

DiaboloFocus in Berlin is Sundia's official importer for Europe and stocks the whole range. Henrys is a German company and is sold in most juggling shops.
