Huffy Bicycles Hosts BMX Team at Headquarters

Huffy Bicycles recently gathered its entire BMX team at their corporate headquarters located in Miamisburg, Ohio, to celebrate their ongoing commitment to the BMX community and to inspire a new generation of riders. The event took place on February 18, 2025, featuring prominent figures such as Nic Long, a two-time Olympian, and Nick Bruce, who also represented the United States in the 2020 Olympics. This notable occasion emphasizes Huffy's revitalized presence in both freestyle and racing BMX categories.

The event served as a platform to underline the company's strategic re-entry into the BMX market, which was announced in early 2024. Since then, the Huffy BMX team has been focused on expanding its roster of talented riders and enhancing its product line, with plans for new BMX offerings slated to launch throughout 2025. This ambitious growth strategy reflects Huffy’s goal to engage more families and inspire children to embrace cycling.

Chris King, the Vice President of Marketing and Direct-to-Consumer for United Wheels—Huffy's parent company—remarked, “Each of these talented riders shares our passion for getting more kids and families on bikes and inspiring wheeled adventures.” This statement highlights the brand's dedication to not just selling bikes, but also fostering a vibrant cycling culture among the youth.

The BMX Team's Dedication

The Huffy BMX team comprises a diverse group of seven riders, each bringing unique skills and experiences to the table. They include world-ranked competitors such as Carly Kane (currently #6 in the world), Huck Kurinsky (a Junior Freestyle BMX Rider and 3X National Champion), and Jacob Thiem, showcasing the range of talent within the organization. The team's dynamic reflects a shared commitment to promoting the sport of BMX, which they achieve through clinics and workshops designed for younger enthusiasts.

As the team prepares for competitions in the upcoming season, they are enthusiastic about sharing their experiences and knowledge with young riders. Their involvement in local, national, and global events builds not only their own credibility but also Huffy's reputation in the BMX landscape.

A Vision for the Future

With over 130 years of experience in the bicycle industry, Huffy Corporation continues to leverage its rich history to enhance their BMX offerings. The company's re-entry into BMX is characterized by meticulous vertical integration and deep industry knowledge. Huffy aims to cater to riders of all levels, from beginners to those training for Olympic competitions. As King stated,
