A Cyr wheel uses one large circle
A Cyr wheel is a single large metal ring slightly taller than its performer. Standing inside and holding the rim, the performer makes it roll and spin during acrobatics. Unlike a German wheel, it does not use two rings joined by crossbars.
The performer works from inside the moving apparatus.
