6000 series aluminum
34mm wide

36-H

Odyssey Thunderbolt Cranks, RHD, 175mm

Laboratory tested and team proven. Never-Wobble™ crank arm and spindle interface guarantee. 41-Thermal® lifetime replacement warranty against bending, cracking and breaking. Weighs 1lb 11.8oz.

Available in RHD or LHD and in 175 or 180mm sizes.

Odyssey Evo II Brake

The Evo II brake is the industry leading U-brake. Comes with Odyssey’s convenient double lugged straddle cable, custom curved cable hanger and an array of hardware for adapting the brake to every possible set-up.

Odyssey Lincoln Stem

Industrial chain link plates create a reinforced top cap hinge, eliminating the need for traditional bolt holes that can weaken the stem body in this area.

53mm reach. 25mm rise or 7mm when flipped. Forged 6061-T6 aluminum.

Odyssey JCPC Pedals

Extremely light weight plastic bodies eliminate the need for bearings and allow for a spindle that is significantly stronger than normal. Metal pins make the pedal very grippy, and the pedal will still function normally when pins are removed from one side for grind tricks.

Instead of replacing the whole pedal, Pedal Body Halves are easy and inexpensive to replace.

Odyssey GY3 Bar

Gary Young’s signature bars feature a classic looking shape and tall rise. Internally butted throughout. Legendary 41-Thermal® lifetime guarantee.

8.66″ rise. 28″ wide. 12° backsweep. 4° upsweep.

Odyssey Antigram Rear Hub, 9t

The Antigram is a 36-H rear hub that is strong, light and reasonably priced with in-bound axle bolts that is both RHD/LHD switchable and guard compatible.

Odyssey Principal Seat

Gary signature Principal model features a thick padded seat with Pivotal base. The cover is a texturized rubber for grip. Embossed Odyssey logo. Great for barspins!

Odyssey Path Tire, K-Lyte, 2.1″

A time-tested and proven design that works as a great all-around tire. Low rolling resistance, a grippy tread pattern and available in loads of configurations.

Odyssey Principal Seat

Gary signature Principal model features a thick padded seat with Pivotal base. The cover is a texturized rubber for grip. Embossed Odyssey logo. Great for barspins!

Odyssey Burlington Sprocket, 28t

Form meets function in this stiff, strong and lightweight design paired with our Incisor Teeth for increased strength and reduced wear.

Available in 23t, 25t, 27t or 28t.

Odyssey Quik Slic Linear Kable

The easiest and fastest brake cable to install. A straight pull from the built in cable hanger improves performance, too.

Building a replica of Gary’s bike may not automatically qualify you for an X Games Gold, but having the right tools for the job sure doesn’t hurt. Here’s what Gary’s flying around on these days. All photos by Walter Pieringer.

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!

Socket Drive Thunderbolts & Killington Sprocket

Our Socket Drive interface system has been in use on our Flatware cranks since their inception, and it was only a matter of time before the system was adapted into our Thunderbolt cranks. The time has come.

In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. The interface is solid and reliable, so we are now offer the Killington sprocket to match.

Thunderbolt cranks with Socket Drive™

  • 175mm only
  • RHD only
  • Black only

Killington sprocket with Socket Drive™

  • 25t or 28t
  • 7075 aluminum
  • Black only

Thunderbolt and Killington sold separately. Hit up your local bike shops or favorite mail-orders to upgrade your drive train today.

Socket Drive™ is a royalty-free interface. Please download the spec sheet for dimensions and tolerancing specifications here to produce your own Socket Drive™ sprockets.

J.F. Boulianne:
Video Bike Check

We shot this video a couple weeks after our Texas Toast Jam. JF hopped in the van with us on the way back to California and ended up spending quite a bit of time out here. If you’re ever driving down PCH near Zuma beach, keep your eyes peeled on the parking lots by the coast. You might just catch a heavy flatland sesh going down.

JF’s home in Montreal now and nursing some cracked ribs. Once he heals up though, it’s a guaranteed bet he’ll be hitting the road again. In the mean time, here’s his bike check along with a couple clips. Enjoy :)
