Huffy’s 2024 BMX lineup revives pro roots with new bikes and star riders
Huffy has expanded its BMX range with new bikes and frames for 2024. The brand, once known for affordable and durable bikes, is now backing pro riders and offering fresh options for beginners and experienced cyclists alike. Two standout models—the Symbol Freestyle and the Sledgehammer frame—highlight this push into modern BMX culture.
The company has also reignited its pro-level involvement by signing BMX Olympian Nick Bruce and racer Carly Kane, marking its first pro sponsorship in over two decades.
The Huffy Symbol Freestyle BMX is designed for riders returning to the sport or just starting out. Priced at $220, it includes a front and rear stunt peg, a steel U-brake, and a removable calliper for versatility. Its 33/10 gearing ensures strong acceleration with less pedalling effort, making tricks and jumps more manageable.
For those seeking a lighter, more agile setup, the Sledgehammer frame is built from 4130 chromoly. This material reduces weight compared to traditional steel while keeping strength intact. Available in 18-inch and 20-inch sizes, the frame was developed with input from pros like Nick Bruce and Huck Kurinsky. It starts at $349, offering a mid-range option for riders looking to upgrade. Huffy’s return to pro sponsorship is another key move. In 2024, the brand signed Carly Kane, its first pro BMX racer in over 20 years, alongside Olympian Nick Bruce. These partnerships signal a renewed focus on performance and credibility in the BMX world. The Symbol’s design reflects Huffy’s long-standing reputation for reliability. Riders who pick up a BMX after years away often find the bike’s solid build and predictable handling reassuring. This balance of affordability and quality has kept Huffy relevant across generations, from backyard tricks to competitive racing.
The new Huffy BMX lineup provides options for all skill levels, from the budget-friendly Symbol to the pro-inspired Sledgehammer frame. With sponsorships of top athletes and a focus on durable, lightweight designs, the brand is positioning itself as a serious contender in modern BMX. The bikes and frames are available now, catering to both casual riders and those aiming for higher performance.
