Odyssey BMX – Clutch V2 Freecoaster

May 17, 2017

Odyssey have released their Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub.

Is it time for a new freecoaster? Odyssey have released their new and improved Clutch V2 Freecoaster for you to take a look at. This hub is based on the original Clutch V2 with a few small improvements to make it even better. The concept of the Clutch V2 freecoaster is based off the traditional clutch-based designed, except they have eliminated all of the parts that cause problems. The hub starts out with a 36- hole, 2014-T6 aluminum shell that features a little slider that allows you to adjust the slack of the hub externally. Inside you can find a full 14mm axle with a durable bearing configuration and drag mechanism to reduce the need for repairs.

The V2 improvements feature 14mm chromoly axle bolts on both sides for increased strength, improved clutch engagement and the ability to add more slack than the previous model, improved manufacturing to increase the precision of the mechanical parts and a new proprietary plastic for the removable hub guard that increases durability, making for a longer lasting guard.

The Clutch V2 Freecoaster is available in right and left side drive with a 9-tooth driver, a weight of 22 oz. (623 grams) and color options of black and polished for $189.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now.

Above you can see the slider that covers the external slack adjustment. Need more or less slack? Simply slide the metal strip and use an allen key to adjust in or out to get it right where you want it! The Clutch V2 Freecoaster offers more slack than the previous model, giving riders more of a range to find their perfect amount.

Odyssey Travel Tool

May 11, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Odyssey Travel Tool!

Are you on the hunt for a new BMX Tool that is compact and has everything you need packed into a small multi-tool? We have had a couple different options from brands over the years with their own twist on just how to get everything you need to dial your bike into a small, easy to carry package.

It looks like Odyssey have decided to give it a go and design their own multi-tool for you to travel with. The Odyssey Travel Tool has everything you need to dial in your bike whether it’s just tightening up some bolts before your session or you need to break your bike down to fit it into a travel bag for a flight. This tool features a fold out design like a Swiss Army Knife for your bike, with 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm hex wrenches, a 17mm deep socket, 15mm and 17mm spanners (pedal wrench) and a full-length arm to give you plenty of leverage when cranking down those bolts on your bike. This has everything you need in a clean and easy to use tool that doesn’t require any assembly or break down like some of the other tools out there.

The Odyssey Travel Tool is available through BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide now and comes in black only. Take a closer look below.

Here’s a look at the tool completely folded in. Small, compact and easy to use or carry around.

You can find small, clean laser etched logos on the side and the arm of the 17mm socket.

Odyssey BMX – Path Pro Tire

April 5, 2017

The new Path Pro Tire from Odyssey has arrived…

It looks like Odyssey have decided to revive their classic Path Tire with a new, modern look! The new Path Pro Tire is based off the classic from the early 2000’s with a similar directional tread pattern and smooth center for less rolling resistance and micro-knurling on the side blocks for extra traction. This tire is made from a proprietary rubber compound that has improved grip and wear resistance with dual ply sidewalls for increased strength.

The Path Pro Tire comes in 2.25″ and 2.40″ sizes, has a 100 Max PSI rating, weighs in at 26.7 oz. (2.25″) and 27.8 oz. (2.40″) with black for the only color option for now. You can pick the tire up for $25.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now.

Since this is an actual concern for some of you… The Path Pro Tire DOES squeak.

Talk about a blast from the past.. You could find Path tires on my bike back in the day, so this is pretty rad to see it making a comeback with a modern twist. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
