Weight
The heaviness of a BMX part, measured by weighing. It's worth noting that weight specifications for BMX parts can vary and may not always be precise. Several factors contribute to this:Manufacturer's weight specifications may be inaccurate or incomplete.The weight of two identical parts can also differ.We cannot weigh every individual part.For example, if there are handlebars in different heights, the manufacturer usually provides just one weight specification for all heights. When weighing two identical tires, you might get two different results.Source: BMX Glossary

With the Odyssey BMX "Optis Insert" Tubeless Insert - 27.5 Inch (Without Valve, Insert Only), you receive a replacement insert (without valve) for the Odyssey OPTIS system.
The Odyssey OPTIS is a lightweight, highly tunable, and efficient tubeless tire insert specifically designed to optimize your riding experience. With this innovative system, you effectively prevent tire burping, protect your rims and tires from impacts, and benefit from the ability to run lower tire pressures for optimal grip. The Odyssey OPTIS also offers you a run-flat function in case of tire damage and impresses with its easy installation and low rolling resistance.
What is OPTIS?
OPTIS (Odyssey Pneumatic Tire Insert System) is a lightweight, highly tunable and efficient tubeless tire insert. Tire setups are one of the most important performance factors for any bike. They provide all the grip to the ground, serve as a critical first element of the bike’s suspension, and provide essential support to the cornering forces that the bike encounters. Pressure choice is always a compromise to balance these requirements.
Available in 27.5", 29", or 700c sizes with a standard-length OPTIS valve. A longer OPTIS valve for taller carbon rims will be available in the near future.
Replacement inserts are also available separately (OPTIS valve needed).
Why use OPTIS?
OPTIS prevents tire burping. By pressing the tire against the rim and preventing gaps from opening, burping becomes almost impossible.
OPTIS allows for lower tire pressures. The insert is inflated to a higher pressure than the tire, keeping the tire supported while allowing the main volume to be at a lower pressure that provides optimal grip.
OPTIS protects the rim and tire against impacts. The insert’s higher pressure provides protection against impacts, reducing the chances of tire pinching and rim damage.
OPTIS locks the tire bead and provides a temporary run-flat period if the tire is damaged. OPTIS will securely hold the tire to the rim for a short period of time if the tire is ever critically damaged and loses its air. This can allow for a brief run-flat period that gives the rider more control than they would otherwise have, providing the time needed to stop the bicycle.
OPTIS is lightweight. Wheel setups using OPTIS are significantly lighter than most alternative tubeless insert setups, while also providing greater protection. The OPTIS insert’s bead locking feature and tire support can also allow for lighter-than-typical tire and rim choices, resulting in overall weight savings.
OPTIS installation is easy and helps to seat tires. Unlike foam inserts, OPTIS installs as easily as a traditional inner tube, and inflation starts the process of pushing the tire beads outward to ease tire inflation.
OPTIS allows for low rolling resistance. By facilitating the use of lower pressures and lighter tires, rolling efficiency on rough surfaces is greatly improved.
