Inside Profile Racing – Imperial Sprocket Manufacturing

September 5, 2023

Profile Racing giving us a look at how they make their Imperial Sprockets down in Florida!

In a world where BMX products tend to have a shelf life and we see a bit of a revolving door with designs and styles changing, there aren’t too many products that are still manufactured 20 years later. Profile Racing have a few of those products that have stood the test of time, one of the being their Imperial Sprocket. Today, they released a video showing how the Imperial sprockets are machined in their factory down in Florida from a plate of metal on through the final details before shipping them off to riders all over the world. Hit play and take a look!

“Since 1996, the Profile Imperial Sprocket has been one of our staples.
The 44t version was the first made, so we thought it appropriate to highlight its manufacturing in that tooth count.

We hope you enjoy!” – Profile Racing
