Best known for their bombproof and sought-after BMX hubs, Profile Racing have just been in touch to tell us about their new Road/Cyclocross (R/C) hubs. Made in the USA, the R/C rear hubs features the same 6 pawl, 68 step ratchet ring as the company’s BMX and mountain hubs- which should make them popular among big and powerful riders. Though the 302g rear hub weight is on the high side, the 88g front hub will help to keep wheelset weights down. I, for one, am a sucker for slotted high-flange polished aluminum hubs and am loving the traditional look. Click more for more photos, pricing, and Profile Racing’s full release…
The Profile Racing Road/Cyclocross (R/C) Hubs are now available. They are machined from 2024 Aluminum with 7075 cones and axles. Quality EZO Sealed bearings are featured in both front and rear hubs, in common sizes (Front (61901 x2) Rear 6802 x4 )that can be upgraded to Ceramic. Like all of our products, R/Cs are made in USA.
The rear hub is spaced for 130mm, and features the same 6 pawl, 68 step ratchet ring as our Elite Mountain Bike and BMX hubs for instant engagement and smooth delivery of power to the ground. The cassette body is compatible with Shimano and SRAM 9 and 10 speed cassettes- A Campagnolo body is in the works and should be available by springtime. It weighs in at ~302g, and is available in 24, 28, and 32 hole versions, in both Black and Silver anodized.
The front hub is super light, at 88g, and is available in 20, 24, and 28 hole versions, in both Black and Silver anodized.
Anodizing in any of our production colors is possible for quantity
orders on a special order basis.
