Huffy is making a tough cost on the BMX section (once more) with its new HX Professional BMX Race Bike. The brand new bike is available in at below $200, which is nice for the budding BMX’er in your life. However it rocks actual race geo, a rear chain tensioner, a sealed euro cartridge backside bracket, and even a three-piece crankset with 44/16 race-ready gearing. Fairly kick-ass for the worth.
I mentioned “once more” earlier as a result of there was one other time, lengthy, way back, the place Huffy spent some actual money and time within the BMX house. If I recall appropriately, it was again within the mid-nineties that Huffy made an enormous push to be taken severely within the BMX world.
They even had a BMX staff chock-full of some heavy-hitting professionals from the scene. Names like Todd Lyons, Cory Nastazio, Jimmy Levan, Scott Toth, and Randy Stumphauser had been all sporting the Huffy BMX Group jersey.
Nicely, it appears like they is likely to be making an attempt it once more…
