Huffy, a brand with over 130 years of experience in the cycling industry, has unveiled the Primus Pro BMX Race Frame, marking its second professional-tier frame release since re-entering competitive BMX in 2024. (sgbonline.com)
Development and Design
The Primus frame is the culmination of more than 18 months of development, incorporating direct feedback from Huffy’s BMX Factory Team riders. Three prototypes were tested in national competitions, with the final production version debuting at the 2026 Legacy Nationals in May. Unlike last year’s Sledgehammer, which focused on freestyle, the Primus is engineered specifically for national and Olympic-level racing. (sgbonline.com)
Performance and Features
The frame is constructed from 6061 T-6 aluminum and features a patent-pending captive external cable routing system, offering the clean appearance of internal routing while simplifying maintenance. Additional features include toolless integrated chain tensioners, a tapered 1-1/8″ to 1.5″ headtube, and a T47 bottom bracket designed to maximize frame stiffness and accommodate future crank options.

The Primus has already demonstrated its competitive edge, with Huffy’s Factory Team riders achieving notable results:
- Two-time Olympian Nic Long secured a victory at the USA BMX Grand Nationals.
- Carly Kane earned a silver medal at the USAC National Championships.
- Ethan Popovich achieved his first Elite Men podium finish during his rookie season. (sgbonline.com)
Specifications and Availability
The Primus Pro BMX Race Frame is priced at $699 and is available in gloss red or matte charcoal. It comes in three sizes: Pro (20.5″), Pro XL (21.25″), and Pro XXL (22″). The frame includes a 15mm rear axle (with 3/8″ and 20mm options available aftermarket), hydraulic post mount for Ø140mm disc brakes, and captive toolless integrated chain tensioners. The tapered headtube (IS42/IS52) and T47 bottom bracket enhance frame stiffness and compatibility with future cranksets. (sgbonline.com)
