Default Cyclone 505mm blade specs

Does anyone happen to know the weight, chord diameter and root thickness of these particular blades? I can't find any specs other than length on any of the Cyclone blades anywhere, even on the Cyclone website?

Thanks!

The key to the numbers above are that the cord varies and is narrowest at the root and widest just before the tip so more of the blade is where it does the most good.

Yes, I forgot that the chord changes as you move down the blade. I'm most interested in the blade weight and root thickness.

Thanks Mark!

The root thickness should be typical for that size.

My Cyclone 555's are 2 grams heavier than my Edge 553mm blades
My Cyclone 695's are the same weight at my Radix 710mm blades.

I would expect the Cyclones to be a smidge heavier but not much more than your other blades, but because the widest part is closest to the tip, expect more pop from them. They are also weighted a bit differently, but it works.

The 3 pair I've got have a nice gloss coat and seem pretty clean and smooth without any noticable imperfections. They seem to be balanced pretty well.

The 555's I just put on my 550SX are within 0.15g of each other.
