Huffy Expands BMX Race Lineup with New Pro Lightning Series

Huffy has unveiled the new Pro Lightning BMX complete race bike line, bringing back an iconic 1980s model to serve the next generation of racers.

Designed for up-and-coming athletes, the line features Junior, Expert and Pro complete builds, each priced at an accessible $399.99.

The Pro Lightning bikes are ready for the starting gate right out of the box. This allows racers to jump directly into competition without purchasing a separate frame or custom build. The line offers full flexibility for athletes to swap and upgrade components as their personal riding styles and race practices evolve. It is backed by Huffy’s legacy of BMX experience and an all-star roster of pro athletes.

“I’m proud to see Huffy continuing to invest in the future of BMX. It’s amazing to have the Pro Lightning name back,” said Nic Long, Huffy BMX Brand and Team Manager. “The new line shows that performance and accessibility can exist together. That’s a huge step toward growing the sport and supporting the next generation of riders.”

Ready, Upgradeable

The Pro Lightning bikes are easily upgradeable yet arrive ready to ride. Core features include 6061 aluminum frames, mechanical disc brakes, high-tensile steel handlebars, Euro bottom bracket, 3-piece crankset and integrated headset.

The reintroduction of the Pro Lightning is another milestone in Huffy’s return to BMX. It started in 2024 with the formation of a team including Ethan Popovich, Carly Kane, Huck Kurinsky and Nick Bruce, among many others. The Pro Lightning builds on Huffy’s high-performance BMX range that includes the Sledgehammer Freestyle frame and the Olympic-caliber Primus race frame.
