The Odyssey Big Boy(d) rim was developed with Boyd Hilder and built for exactly what a real BMX wheel has to deal with: taking abuse. Street spots, skatepark coping, hard landings – this rim wasn’t made for display bikes, it was made to be ridden properly.
The 6069-T6 aluminum construction delivers a strong yet sensible weight foundation for a BMX wheel. The 40 mm width works perfectly with modern wider tires, giving you more stability on landings, more control, and that solid bike feel when you know the wheel isn’t going to twist every time you come down hard. The thick outer walls and bead hook profile help the rim handle serious riding and repeated impacts.
The fully welded joint is a must when durability matters. Reinforced spoke holes help keep the wheel build tight and stable even when the wheel takes heavy lateral stress from grinds and rough landings.
The Odyssey Big Boyd rim is made for riders who’ve been around a few seasons, know what a proper session looks like, and don’t want to rebuild wheels every other weekend. Lace it up, ride it hard, and keep going. This is the kind of rim that doesn’t talk much – it just does the job.
