Going with my whole “brakes are coming back” theory, Odyssey have just released their new GTX-S gyro. Based around the classic GTX-R, the GTX-S is made from 6061-t6 aluminum (instead of 7075 in the R) with features like a sealed ball bearing mechanism, a lower 17mm stack height and fully recessed cable seats. The GTX-S is currently available in anodized purple and black with a weight of 1.5 oz. and price of $39.99.

They were able to lower the price by using the different kind of aluminum, removing the cable pinch bolts and a stripped down bearing unit. Pretty cool since it really is a solid alternative to the GTX-R with a lower price.
