As with all Odyssey products this thing wont be rushed and I’m sure will have to go through a huge amount of team testing until it’s ready for production.

Bike Check: Aaron Ross

Rear Wheel:
New super secret prototype odyssey freecoaster hub…. Laced to a Odyssey Hazard rim…

You have a freecoaster now. Explain.
 I’ve actually gone back and forth for a long time… As a lot of people probably know, I’ve always been into doing a lot of backwards stuff, so I guess it just opens up more possibilities for me…. I’ve had a few things I’ve wanted to do for years and I’ve tried over and over and I haven’t been able to do it with a cassette, so maybe a freecoaster is the answer… Secrets for now :)

Oddyssey has had a "super secret prototype free coaster hub" for the past 10 years.  Once or twice a year, they trot it out, give it a show, then put it away again.

THEY ARE NOT RELEASING A FREECOASTER ANY TIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.  THEY NEED TO STOP PROMOTING VAPORWARE.  That stuff really hurts their credibility IMO>

What is Vaporware?
The following is the truth.  The preceeding is a lie.

Looks like the same myth they've been trotting out for the past decade.  If it were any kind of priority, it would have been released by now.  Some of you keep getting "hooked" in.  Don't be a sucker.

Another sneak peek of the forthcoming Sean Sexton Clutch Freecoaster hub.
Aaron Ross has been putting one of the RHD prototypes through its paces.
We'll have more technical info to share at Interbike in Las Vegas.
