It's a thing that sits below the handlebar and is connected to the brake wires. WIth a gyro you can turn the handlebar a full turn w/o the brake wires getting all tangled up.

Do bmx bikes with 1 brake have a 360 gyro?

BMX race bikes often have only one brake, at the rear. And for a race bike, there's no need to be able to spin the handlebar - so no gyro. But of course, you could have one installed - if you wish. Or you could set a bike up with only a front brake. In which case you don't need a gyro either - you just run the brake through the steerer tube.

Why don't bmx brake cables get tangled?

B/c the cables are connected to a thingy called a rotor/gyro/detangler that sits like a collar between the bars and the frame. Half the rotor/gyro/detangler will rotate with the bar while the other half stay in place while still being able to transfer cable pull across the part.


Can you install a gyro on a BMX bike that never had one before?

To be honest if you have to ask then I would take it to your bike shop. Unless its a high end gyro with the London mod (€200+) then I would personally run a long linear cable.
