Here’s a quick overview of our new Clutch Pro freecoaster, which is available now. This video gives a general explanation of the overall hub itself along with a tutorial on the external slack adjustment feature.

Introducing the CLUTCH PRO freecoaster hub. Yes, this is the hub that Matt Nordstrom, Dennis Enarson, Broc Raiford, Johnny Raekes and more have been riding for some time.

The evolution of our proven Clutch freecoaster hub continues. The Clutch Pro comes built with an all-new bearing equipped drag mechanism for smooth backpedaling and fast crankflips.

Based on direct feedback from Odyssey team riders, the Clutch Pro also features all-new plastic guard designs. The drive side guard provides maximum coverage to the chain and spokes while eliminating the need to spread the frame’s dropouts during installation, which can be detrimental to the frame’s integrity.

On the hub’s non-drive side, the guard makes use of a new shape for improved spoke coverage and durability. To adjust the hub’s slack, a new tool-free external button engages with an internally threaded adjuster, then simply rotating the wheel forward or backward increases or decreases the slack as needed.

The Clutch Pro also comes with a grease port so the hub can be lubricated without disassembly.

Features

• Ultra-smooth crankflip friendly drag mechanism
• Unique drive side plastic guard design eliminates dropout spreading
• Redesigned non-drive side plastic guard
• Tool-free slack adjustment
• Grease port simplifies lubrication
• Proven, ultra-durable bearing arrangement
• US Patent 9,469,157

Available now, just in time for Summer.

Corey Walsh, Gary Young, Dennis Enarson, Perris Benegas, Justin Spriet, Tom Dugan, and Noah Miranda. SAY LESS! Enjoy.

Santi Laverde is on Odyssey! We’re stoked to be adding this all-around ripper to the crew. Originally from Colombia, Santi resides in Barcelona and even teaches BMX school there. The man puts in work on the bike and loves to ride anything and everything, a perfect fit with the rest of the crew.

Surprise! Gary Young has been on Odyssey for twenty years now, and so we wanted to create something special to celebrate the man. We even managed to keep it a secret from him until now! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this documentary style piece that gives a look into what makes Gary such an extraordinary human on and off the bike.

Thank you Gary!
