Product: Profile Racing – Z-Coaster – Pre-Order

April 16, 2015

Profile Racing‘s long awaited Z-Coaster is going to be available at the end of April! This hub is made right here in the U.S.A and starts off with a CNC machined aluminum hub shell that has laser etched logos. Inside, you can find a 14mm hollow chromoly axle, two sealed bearings and a larger sealed bearing behind the driver on Profile Racing’s new patented freecoaster design that uses 3 unique Z shaped cassette pawls on it’s 1-piece chromoly driver that allows the hub to disengage and work as a freecoaster.

The patented freecoaster design uses slack cam rings that allow you to set the amount of slack you want from 20-degrees all the way up to 90-degrees. You can watch the video on how to change the slack cam rings and how they work RIGHT HERE!

This hub sounds like a cassette hub when it’s engaged and then goes completely silent when you are disengaged and good to coast backwards. The Z-Coaster is available in black only with a weight 20.6 oz.

You can pre-order this hub by having your local shop get ahold of Profile Racing today so you can get your hands on the hub as soon as its released. You can also pre-order on Dan’s Comp as well. These hubs should be available April 29th!

The hub, however, comes with a higher price tag than all other freecoasters on the market with a retail price of $357.99. It’s pretty steep, but this isn’t your traditional KHE remake hub that most brands use.

There’s also some rad flatland riding from Chad putting the hub to good use to go with it. No word on exact release, but Profile Racing said this is the month, so keep your eye out if you’re on the hunt for one.

Today is the day I’m sure a bunch of you have been waiting for! Profile Racing have released a bunch of videos giving us a look at all the different slack options for their Z-Coaster that has been in the works for quite a while. They have even released a video showing you how to change the slack cam ring which gives the first look INSIDE the hub since that has been top secret until now… Even the samples the team riders are on are welded sealed so they couldn’t open them!

What’s Your Favorite Current BMX Colorway

April 8, 2015

There’s no denying that BMX has seen A LOT of color over the years and we have seen just about every color under the sun from bright florescent colors to 50 shades of black to some shiny and matte colors and as of late, wraps that are looking pretty rad as well! The past few months we have seen some interesting color options from brands like Odyssey, The Shadow Conspiracy, Tree Bicycle Co., Demolition Parts, Madera and Profile Racing that have been getting a lot of love. We figured it would be fun to see just what color takes the top spot at the moment, so here are some examples of these new colors. We want to know what you think!

Profile Racing – Kent Pearson Always on the Move

April 1, 2015

You don’t even know how excited we were to wake up to an email from Matt Coplon with a link to the new Kent Pearson Profile Racing video inside! Check out Kent’s latest video packed full of street and skatepark front brake magic that was filmed over the course of last year! This one does not disappoint!

“Kent had asked me at the end of 2014 if I’d be interested in editing some clips for him. Although I immediately said yes, the more I thought about it, the more it stressed me out. And then the clips came on a card, via snail mail, wrapped up perfectly in a little pill box. Dialed. Like everything Kent has his hands in.
The pressure was on…
I’ve always had the utmost respect for Kent: I’m super into his riding, style, progression, and love for bmx…the last thing I wanted to do was to not give his footage justice.
So I dove in, slowly…
Here is a cache of clips filmed throughout 2014. We want to thank Kent for years of support: transcending that notion, we’re proud that he’s part of our family here at Profile.
In Kent’s camera bag, there is a mix of SD cards. The one that captured this footage was titled ‘Always on the Move’….Hence the title.
In the end, I’m stoked on the final piece, and actually had quite a good time putting it together.
I hope you enjoy watching as much as I had piecing it together.” -Matt Coplon

Filming care of: Mason Pearson, Kyle Kelsey, Nick Thurmond, Chase Hamilton, Jake Stancil, Kowboi Roberts, Jeremy Infelise, and Conor Mckeon.
