April 18, 2017

Odyssey just dropped this short promo video for their new Litehouse Rim that dropped toward the end of 2016. The video featuresMatt Nordstrom and Tom Dugan putting the rim to good use, along with some of the specs and details on the rim, which you can also find below. These rims are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now.

The Odyssey Litehouse Rim is both light and strong, with super-thick angled sidewalls to minimize the risk of damage when you hang up. The rim features a wider cross-section than normal to compliment modern tire widths. Designed as a semi-brakeless rim that can be run front or rear. When brakes are used, be sure to adjust the pads so they avoid making contact with the tire’s sidewall, as usual.

Precision welded joint
6000 series aluminum

SPECS
Width: 35mm
Height: 21mm
ERD: 388mm
Weight: 475 grams (16oz)”

Jack Gruber 2017 Video

April 17, 2017

Here’s a short but sweet BMX video from the streets of Australia featuring Jack Gruber going to work on spots for Odyssey and Back Bone BMX! Don’t let this one fool you. It might be just short of a minute long, but there isn’t much filler. Jack slays a bunch of rails and puts his pegs to good use on a handful of spots in that short time! Take a peek!

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!

Odyssey BMX – Broc Raiford Passageways Video

March 24, 2017

The other day Odyssey dropped a teaser video for Broc Raiford‘s new Passageways video that he has been working with Mike Mastroni on. Since that dropped, we have been anticipating the heat this one was going to bring. The BMX video just dropped and sure enough, Broc has come through with some heavy hammers from the streets of Long Beach that will get you stoked and get your weekend started off right! Get on that play button because this is a Must See video! Amazing riding, great spots and some dialed film work.

“Earlier this year I brainstormed with the guys over at Odyssey about video project ideas for 2017. We agreed on doing a concept-based video to switch things up from the traditional web edit style. Mike Mastroni was brought into the picture as our filmer and to help us make a decision on what the most interesting concept would be. Ultimately, we chose to do a video composed entirely of riding spots we could find in Long Beach alleyways. Mastroni and I live smack dab in the middle of a plethora of alley spots, so we got to work quick and filmed for about 2 weeks.

I can speak for us both when I say that we had a blast filming for this video and I hope you all enjoy what we created! Special thanks to Mike Mastroni and Nuno Oliveira for making this all possible!” – Broc Raiford

Odyssey BMX – Twisted Pro Pedals

March 23, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Twisted Pro Pedals from Odyssey!

Here’s some news we’ve been waiting to see since our first look during our trip to Frostbike back in February. Odyssey have released their new Twisted Pro Pedals! The original Twisted PC Pedals haven’t really had any changes since their inception in 1997, beyond the countless color options. Not too many products have been around for this long without any major changes, which is a good indicator that they work well. With riders looking for slightly bigger pedals these days, Odyssey decided it was time to offer a modernized version of the pedals to accommodate for some of the needs of riders in 2017.

The Twisted Pro Pedals are still made from the same high strength plastic composite with the same look as the original, loose ball bearings and a chromoly spindle, but feature a larger body with a 104mm width and 98mm length. The original Twisted PC pedals have a 98mm width and 89mm length. This increase gives you more room for your feet and an increased concave for more grip, along with a slimmer profile. The Twisted Pro pedals feature 12 oversized molded pins per side versus 16 on the originals, but the increased size and concave helps reduce the need for as many pins.

The Twisted Pro pedals are available in black — Odyssey will be adding colors into the mix soon — and weigh in at 14.6 oz. These pedals are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide starting now.

Don’t worry! The Original Twisted PC Pedals will still be available and continue to be manufactured well into the future.

The Twisted Pro pedals are slightly slimmer than the originals. Lean and clean. These are still made from the same high strength composite as well.

Here is a side by side comparison giving you a look at the differences between the original Twisted PC and the new Twisted Pro pedals when it comes to size.

Odyssey BMX – Calibur 3-Piece Cranks

March 22, 2017

Is it time for a new set of BMX cranks? The new Calibur Cranks from Odyssey are starting to land at BMX shops and mail-orders. The Calibur cranks are a traditional style 3-piece crankset for those of you who don’t prefer Odyssey’s Thunderbolt style 2-piece cranks. You can find heat-treated chromoly tubular arms and a 22mm, 48-spline, hollow chromoly spindle with 6mm bolts to keep it all tight. These cranks feature sprocket bosses on both arms, so they are left and right side compatible. These also come with a 22mm, MID bottom bracket, so you don’t have to buy one of those separately.

The Calibur Cranks from Odyssey BMX are available in black and chrome, lengths of 165mm, 170mm and 175mm with a price tag starting at $149.99 – $159.99 based on color.

Do note that these cranks are heat-treated, but they are not covered by Odyssey’s 41 Thermal lifetime warranty they offer on some of their products. Either way, these look like a sturdy set of cranks for a great price. The Calibur cranks available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey BMX worldwide now.

Full Factory – March Madness 2017 Jam

March 20, 2017

Whenever Full Factory throw a jam, you know it’s going to be a good time! THis past weekend they hosted their annual March Madness jam at their warehouse in California. Here’s a look at what went down from the Odyssey and Sunday Bikes team riders to some of the locals that came out for the day. It looks like everyone had a great time and plenty of dialed riding went down! Check it!

“March Madness at Full Factory was the epitome of what a jam should be. You really can’t go wrong with a plethora of ramps and grindable obstacles, free pizza, unlimited Kind Bars, everyone getting to shred with some of their favorite pros, the friggin’ Gauntlet Of Death, and some sweet deals on product from Full Factory brands Odyssey, Sunday, and GSport. Our friends at Full Factory organized a few mini contests, including Broc Raiford’s Highest Hop, which was won by Richard Hernandez at 42”, Jake Seeley’s Ledge Party was also dominated by Richard Hernandez—along with Austyn McIntosh, the Justin Spriet Flat Rail Challenge went to Jerimiha Miller, Hernandez also cleared 20’ 7” a clinched the Long Distance 180. Meanwhile, Hayden Scobie and John Wadlund were awarded the Gary Young Overall Shredder on the ramps and Austyn McIntosh took the Overall Shredder on street from Travis Hughes. And finally, Gauntlet Of Death… Justin Spriet told me he was going make it through on his first try, and sure as shit, he did—that might be the first one and done in Gauntlet Of Death history. Gary Young and Michael Napoli conquered the Gauntlet as well.” – Ride BMX
