How about a lil’ BMX news today? Yesterday, Dayton, Ohio’s Huffy<\/a> dropped a new elite-level BMX race frame in the new Primus<\/a>. This is Huffy’s second competitive-level frame since the brand returned to the sport.<\/p>\n

The frame was developed after 18 months, incorporating direct feedback from Huffy’s factory team racers. They tested three different prototypes in national competitions before racing on the final production version at the 2026 Legacy Nationals in May.<\/p>\n

Who’s Primus For?<\/h2>\n

The Primus targets riders who are serious about racing and are competing at national and Olympic levels. This is a little different from last year’s pro-level Sledgehammer frame<\/a>, which focused on freestyle riding. <\/p>\n

The frame has already proven itself in competition, with factory team riders earning notable results. These include two-time Olympian Nic Long’s win at the USA BMX Grand Nationals, Carly Kane’s silver medal at the USAC National Championships, and Ethan Popovich’s first Elite Men podium finish during his rookie season.<\/p>\n

Pretty impressive. <\/p>\n

The Primus frame is built using 6061 T-6 aluminum. It incorporates some unique tech features. For instance, the frame uses a patent-pending captive external cable routing system. It provides the clean appearance of internal routing while making maintenance more accessible. <\/p>\n

Other features include cool, toolless integrated chain tensioners, a tapered headtube (1-1\/8″ to 1.5″), and a T47 bottom bracket that maximizes frame stiffness while ensuring compatibility with future crank options. <\/p>\n

These design choices reflect input from professional racers who know the importance of equipment that performs consistently under competitive pressure while also being easily serviceable between races.<\/p>\n
