Ratchet 4‑55

A super low and extremely light Ratchet. Although it belongs to the 4 family, its design is completely different since its four divisions are wider and extend below the plastic with a slight tilt. And between each one, there is no longer a traditional circumference, but an inward arch that gives them a hook shape.

Its assembly system is "O" type, meaning it does not feature the internal pressure mechanism. The fit depends solely on the direct pressure between the Blade and the Ratchet, making it much easier to burst than a normal assembly.

The removal of the mechanism considerably reduced the amount of plastic and consequently its weight too, leaving it almost 2 g lighter than a 60 in general.

This lowers the Blade barely half a millimeter, slightly reducing the center of gravity, but at the same time it concentrates the combo's weight higher up, so it doesn't really improve overall stability compared to a 60.

Its main advantage is that, being "O" type, it tightens all Bits equally, allowing you to use defensive or stamina Bits with super greater safety that would normally be more prone to bursting, which at this height is mega valuable.

Although its hooks remain somewhat hidden, they still generate considerable recoil if they get hit, or if they scrape the rails or the ground. They don't reach the risk level of 0 or 2, but it is a factor to keep in mind.

It can be interesting in defensive or stamina combos that seek to reduce the risk of bursting, while lowering the Blade's position.

A very curious part that almost seems experimental!
