Odyssey Gyro generations G1 came out in late 1986 and was designed by Brian Scura. It was used on many of the 1987 freestyle bikes BITD including the Haro Master, Sport, GT freestyle line up from the Performer through the PFTTM. This version used slotted bosses in the upper reaction plate and lower cup. M6 threads for the barrel adjusters. The balls on the end of the gyro cables were the largest diameter of any of the generations.
Odyssey came out with a revised design in 1994, G2 gyro used a lower profile bottom cup and a slightly different detangler from G1. All threaded bosses were no longer slotted and were M7 threads. The balls on the ends of the cables were smaller diameter than G1.
Around 1997 the G3 gyro came out to work with 1-1/8” threaded steer tubes found on many of the freestyle bikes as they switched over from 1”. The G3 used smaller M6 barrel adjusters and universal upper and lower cables.
I’m not exactly sure when the G4 gyro came out but it is called the GTX. There is a pro version of this that includes everything you need to install the gyro. Or you can purchase all the individual parts separately like the upper reaction plate and the gyro tabs. Some of the key features of the GTX are Precision sealed mechanism bearing 6061-T6 Aluminum and a low 17mm stack height. Universal cables are also used. The detangler is available in a few colors but most of them are black.
