Stacked official word:
Ride fakies without your cranks forcing backward with the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel, a premium complete BMX rear wheel built around two proven Odyssey components, the Odyssey Hazard Lite rim and Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub.
At the center of this wheel is the Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub, giving freestyle BMX riders the ability to roll backward without the pedals automatically rotating backward like they do with a traditional cassette hub.
The Clutch V2 hub is professionally laced to Odyssey's legendary Hazard Lite BMX rim, creating a complete rear wheel designed for demanding street, park, and freestyle BMX riding.
Instead of buying a rim, freecoaster hub, spokes, and nipples separately and then paying to have everything built, the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel gives you a complete factory built solution.
If you're learning fakies, half cabs, 180s, rollbacks, or technical street combinations or simply want the freedom of a freecoaster drivetrain, this wheel gives you a proven Odyssey setup ready for your BMX.
Odyssey Hazard Lite rim + Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub = one serious BMX rear wheel.
Key Wheel Components
Odyssey Hazard Lite Rim
The Hazard Lite has become one of Odyssey's best known BMX rims.
Its proven construction makes it suitable for demanding freestyle BMX riding while giving the complete wheel a strong foundation for street and park use.
Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster Hub
The biggest feature of this rear wheel is what's sitting at the center:
The Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub.
Unlike a traditional cassette hub, the Clutch V2 allows the rear wheel to roll backward without forcing the cranks to rotate backward.
That changes what's possible when riding fakie and performing technical BMX tricks.
Complete Rear Wheel
The Clutch V2 hub comes laced to the Hazard Lite rim, eliminating the need to separately select a rim, hub and have them professionally assembled.

Why BMX Riders Use the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel
Ride Fakie Without Backpedaling
This is the biggest reason riders switch from a cassette to a freecoaster.
With the Odyssey Clutch V2 hub, the wheel can rotate backward without automatically forcing the cranks backward.
That allows you to concentrate on your balance, body position, and exit rather than constantly matching crank rotation to rear wheel movement.
Clutch V2 Freecoaster Hub
You're not getting a generic freecoaster hub.
The Odyssey Clutch V2 is the heart of this complete wheel and gives riders a purpose built Odyssey freecoaster system.
Hazard Lite BMX Rim
The Clutch V2 is laced to the Odyssey Hazard Lite rim, combining the freecoaster hub with one of Odyssey's established freestyle BMX rims.
Complete Wheel Solution
Buying a hub, rim, spokes, nipples, calculating spoke lengths, and paying for a wheel build can add complexity to an upgrade.
This wheel combines those components into one complete rear wheel package.
Built for Technical Freestyle BMX
A freecoaster opens the door to a different style of BMX riding.
Fakie manuals, long rollbacks, 180 combinations, half cabs, full cabs, and technical street lines can all benefit from the ability to coast backward without forced crank rotation.
5 Problems You Can Run Into With Other Freecoaster Wheels
Unknown Hub Quality
A complete wheel can look good on paper while using a generic freecoaster hub.
With this wheel, you know exactly what's at the center:
Odyssey Clutch V2.
Weak or Basic Rim Construction
A good freecoaster hub doesn't help much if it's paired with a rim that isn't suited to the rider's intended BMX use.
The Clutch V2 is paired with Odyssey's Hazard Lite BMX rim.
Difficult to Understand Freecoaster Systems
Freecoasters operate differently from cassette hubs and can require riders to understand slack, engagement, and maintenance.
Choosing a known BMX hub platform can make finding information and replacement components easier.
Buying Everything Separately
Building a freecoaster wheel from scratch requires selecting a compatible rim, hub, spokes, nipples, and correct spoke lengths before the wheel can even be built.
A complete wheel eliminates much of that process.
Poor Component Combination
A premium hub paired with an inappropriate rim or a quality rim paired with an inferior hub, can compromise the overall package.
The Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel combines two purpose built Odyssey BMX components in one complete wheel.
5 Reasons Riders Choose the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What hub comes on the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel?
A: The wheel uses the Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub, which is laced to an Odyssey Hazard Lite BMX rim to create a complete freestyle BMX rear wheel.
Q: What rim comes on the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel?
A: The wheel uses Odyssey's Hazard Lite BMX rim, paired with the Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub.
Q: What is a BMX freecoaster wheel?
A: A BMX freecoaster wheel allows the bicycle to roll backward without automatically forcing the cranks to rotate backward. This is why freecoasters are popular with riders doing fakies, rollbacks, 180s, half cabs, and technical street tricks.
Q: What's the difference between a freecoaster and cassette BMX wheel?
A: A cassette hub normally causes the cranks to rotate backward as the bike rolls backward. A freecoaster such as the Odyssey Clutch V2 allows you to coast backward while keeping the cranks relatively stationary.
Q: Is the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel good for street BMX?
A: Yes. The combination of an Odyssey Hazard Lite rim and Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub makes this wheel particularly appealing to street riders who use fakies, 180s, rollbacks, grinds, and technical combinations.
Q: Is the Odyssey Clutch V2 already laced to the Hazard Lite rim?
A: Yes. This is a complete Odyssey rear BMX wheel with the Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub laced to the Hazard Lite rim. You don't need to separately purchase the rim, hub, spokes, and nipples and then arrange the initial wheel build.
Q: Is a freecoaster good for learning fakies?
A: Many riders prefer a freecoaster for fakies because they don't have to continuously backpedal while rolling backward. You still need to learn balance, bike control, and how to exit the fakie, but removing forced backward crank rotation can change the way the trick feels.
Q: Does a freecoaster feel different from a cassette hub?
A: Yes. Freecoasters typically have a degree of slack before engagement, so the drivetrain can feel different when beginning to pedal forward. Riders switching from a cassette should give themselves time to become familiar with the freecoaster's engagement characteristics.
Q: Can I upgrade my cassette BMX bike to this freecoaster wheel?
A: Many compatible 20" BMX bikes can be converted simply by replacing the cassette rear wheel with a compatible freecoaster wheel. You still need to verify frame dropout, axle, driver, chain, gearing, brake, and overall wheel compatibility before installation.
Q: Why choose the Odyssey Hazard Lite Freecoaster Wheel instead of building one from separate parts?
A: It gives you a complete 20-inch BMX rear wheel centered around an Odyssey Clutch V2 Freecoaster hub already laced to a Hazard Lite rim. That eliminates much of the compatibility checking, spoke calculation, component sourcing, and initial wheel-building work involved in creating a custom wheel from scratch.
