It is a variation on the German wheel gymnastic / acrobatic apparatus. Instead of the double rim of the German wheel, the Cyr wheel consists of a single metal ring, similar to an oversized Hula Hoop with a diameter a bit larger than the user is tall.

Due to its narrow design, it is hard to balance, but also very flexible in the terms of movements and tricks it can do.

The wheel was developed as a circus apparatus by Daniel Cyr in the late 1990s. Official gymnastics championships using it have been held since the early 2010s, with the first World Championship in 2013.
