Fastest and youngest of cycling sports, BMX racing was introduced to the world in the 2008 Olympics: 8 riders racing on a dirt track, littered with jumps, banked corners, and obstacles. This new cycling mania is a spectacular sport of discipline and excitement and has caught the attention of millions of people around the world.
The
BMX racing sport is open to riders of all ages, making it great fun for all the
family, which is where we introduce Profile Racing. In 1978 this unifying sport
drew the attention of the Alley family. Jim Alley, owner of Profile Racing, his son, Corey, and daughter, Justine had their first taste of BMX racing at a small track in St. Petersburg. The entire Alley family was immediately hooked on this sport. With Jim's keen eye for innovation and
competitiveness, a new venture into the bicycle industry was born. It was an easy transition for Profile Racing to make. Having its background in auto racing, chromemoly fabrication and lightweight, aluminum alloy components, Profile Racing was a "shoe-in" for the bicycle racing industry.
While BMX racing was in its early stages, it was hungry for durable, lightweight components. 1979 was the year Profile Racing produced its first 3-piece chromemoly tubular crank set with the 48-spline axle. Little did Profile Racing know that this crankset and its components would become the "standard" for the BMX bicycle industry and continue to be the "standard" a quarter of a century later.
Throughout the 1980's Profile Racing continued its rapid growth.
With the addition of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining centers
and lathes, Profile Racing was given the edge over the growing industry
competition. The focus was and continues to be on manufacturing the highest
quality, state-of-the-art products available.
The year 2001-2002 saw Profile Racing reach a major crossroads in
its growth with another operations expansion of over 20,000 square feet of
man-
ufacturing area and warehouse space. And, today, Profile Racing is the
single largest, most capable and sophisticated manufacturer of high end BMX/MTB
bicycle components and BMX frames in the United States, boasting over 35 years
of experience.
The longevity of Profile Racing in this industry can be attributed to its innovative product development, its contribution and support to the sport and, the true dedication of its very talented employees. Still, to this day, Profile Racing products are 100% made in the United States of America. Buy American!
