The Odyssey Gyro Upper Cable is a fundamental component of classic BMX detangler systems. The purpose of the Gyro system is to allow the handlebars to rotate completely freely without the brake cables twisting or tightening. This is especially important for riders who use tricks such as barspins, tailwhips, or other handlebar-spinning maneuvers, where reliable brake performance is essential.
Odyssey has been developing Gyro systems since 1986, and over the years this solution has become an industry standard in the BMX world. The upper cable is the top brake cable of the system, connecting the brake lever to the upper section of the Gyro rotor. The dual-cable design ensures that braking force is transferred evenly through the system, while the rotor allows the handlebars to rotate continuously.
The cable is specifically optimized for Gyro systems, making it compatible with most detangler setups, especially the Odyssey GTX-S and G3 rotors. The precise fit and durable outer housing help ensure long-term reliability even under regular use.
This component is designed for riders who prefer the classic Gyro brake system and want every part of their bike to work consistently and predictably.
