Huffy Unveils Sledgehammer Pro BMX Frame: Built by Riders, for Riders

September 22, 2025

Huffy’s first pro-grade BMX frame since 2024 return, the Sledgehammer was designed in collaboration with Huffy Pro Team riders for progression, park riding, and next-level performance

DAYTON, Ohio (September 22, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Huffy (https://www.huffy.com), a United Wheels brand, today unveils the Sledgehammer BMX Freestyle Frame, Huffy’s first professional-grade BMX frame released since the brand’s official return to the sport of BMX in 2024. Engineered over the course of almost two years with input from elite athletes and riders, the Sledgehammer is built for progression, performance, and designed to equip the next generation of BMX talent.

The launch of the Sledgehammer underscores Huffy’s long-term commitment to BMX, and a methodical approach to designing and testing frames. The result is a product that balances performance, durability, and authenticity—crafted by riders, for riders.

The Sledgehammer was developed with direct input from riders including Nick Bruce, a world-class park rider and Huffy athlete, whose feedback shaped prototypes throughout the design process. Rising junior rider Huck Kurinsky, Bruce’s mentee, also played a key role in ensuring the geometry and 18” Sledgehammer frame size would support younger riders aiming to progress their skills.

The Sledgehammer’s 100% 4130 chromoly frame is available in transparent teal or transparent black paint over raw chromoly, and the debossed seat tube features the Huffy Freestyle wordmark. The tube set was carefully designed by Huffy engineers to eliminate gussets while still maintaining strength and minimizing overall weight. The Huffy Sledgehammer is offered in 18-inch and 20-inch frame sizes, at $349 and $399, respectively.

“The Sledgehammer has been a dream project of mine for years,” said Jason Jewell, Director of Product Engineering and Development, Huffy. “Even before we had a full BMX team, I envisioned a frame that could truly stand up to the demands of riders at every level. Once we signed Nick in February 2024, development kicked into high gear, and the collaboration with him and our team of riders brought that vision to life. Every detail of the Sledgehammer was built with riders in mind, and I’m proud that we’ve created a frame that not only performs at the highest level but also inspires progression in the sport.”
