We define for any crystallographic root system a new statistic on the corresponding Weyl group which we call the odd length. This statistic reduces, for Weyl groups of types , , and , to the each of the statistics by the same name that have already been defined and studied in [8], [12], [13], and [3]. We show that the sign-twisted generating function of the odd length always factors completely, and we obtain multivariate analogues of these factorizations in types and .
