<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Extralight''' or '''XL Gyro''' is an advanced variation of the standard [[BattleMech]] gyroscope.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Developed by [[ComStar]] in [[3067]]<ref>''TechManual'', p. 220</ref>, much like the [[Extralight fusion engine|XL engine]], the XL Gyro is constructed from lighter though bulkier material and components, increasing the size of the gyro by half in exchange for halving its weight. Also sharing the same disadvantage, the XL gyro can only weather the same amount of damage as a standard gyro before destruction, its increased bulk increasing the odds that any fire that penetrates the center torso will strike it and cripple the 'Mech. Further, unless a 'Mech mounts a [[compact fusion engine|compact engine]], the XL gyro will take up the small amount of free space in the center torso region, forcing any equipment normally installed there to be moved to other positions.<br />
