Odyssey Convertible Seat Post

The convertible post is compatible with all Pivotal style seats and includes hardware for mounting railed seats. The removable post guts can also be used to install railed seats on integrated Pivotal frames.

Antigram front hub with guards on both sides (coming soon)

The “aero” style G-Sport Birdcage Rims is one of the lightest rims available, yet it’s strong enough to be used front and back.

Odyssey Thunderbolt cranks, 175mm, LHD

The Thunderbolt cranks are available in LHD or RHD versions in 175mm or 180mm lengths. These cranks have gone through rigorous testing and are now available the long awaited Socket Drive version.

Odyssey Million Dollar Sprocket, 25t

Our Million Dollar Sprocket is your chain’s best friend. Not only that, if you rotate it regularly, this sprocket could easily be one of the last ones you’ll ever buy.

Odyssey Twisted PC Pedals

The benchmark for plastic pedals.

Odyssey Antigram Hub:

Our Antigram Hub is built with a 36-hole, 2014-T6 aluminum shell. It comes with 14mm axles but you can run 3/8″ inbound axles too (just like Lloyd). The 9-T Driver is left or right hand drive compatible.

Lloyd was hanging around in Austin for a bit and we caught up with him to get some dialed shots of his bike and even shot a stunt of two. Click around to get the scoop!

PHOTOS BY JOSH HAYES!

Alex Bermudez of Give D! sent us some saucy pics of his latest rig recently. Word on the streets is he has an Odyssey edit coming up for us soon, so you can watch him stunt it up ala motion picture. In the mean time, here are some stills of him from a ditch in sunny San Diego.

All photos taken by Josh Hayes.
MJ all day and Billy Mays forever…

Mike Taylor video

A few things about this video:

1.) The intro is pretty cool.
2.) I’d be scared to be one of those kids pushing up against the rail for Mike to grind on.
3.) He’s riding with a tweaked wrist and killing it.

EXTRA INFO:
The JC/PC Pedals are half white, half black. I run the pins on the white side flush for pedal grinds. I also run a white half on that side so I always know what side is the grind side.

As for the bars, they are exactly Lumberjacks, with 4 deg. of up sweep, making them 8.6″ tall. Your hands are in the same position, your wrists thank you for the up sweep.

The Weight for all of those wondering: 22.8 lbs.

As one of the main dudes behind our R&D, you can bet that Ben’s bike is dialed (and blinging gold). A complete parts list can be found in the flipbook above and a couple things to note are the new Four:four bars and the gold rims, spokes, nipples and hubs he’s running are now available.
