Leandro Sunday has shifted this week to Leandro Monday. We’re proud of this dude, and it’s been nothing less than an honor having Leandro Moreira ride for us over the years. In celebration of him, as well as Profile Racing ‘s 50th anniversary, here’s the limited, celebratory product line closing […]
After heavy production/innovation/design years for Profile in 2010 and 2011, it was time to switch gears to Madera. Following the classic, 19mm Profile Spline Drive Sprocket, the Madera Helm Spline Drive Sprocket was created. It uses the same 8 petaled “flower” design for the Spline Insert as the traditional Profile 19mm. […]
In the early 80’s, Profile Racing invested in its first Mori Seiki CNC machine. And the first bmx part to get belted out of it was our Gyrolite hub sets. For episode #7 of From the Dungeon, Jim Alley walks you through the history of those hubs. Episode #7 is […]
After a year of planning and prototyping, a completely fresh crank design came from the mind of Jim Alley in 2011. Taking the basic concepts from the classic, 19mm Profile Race Crank, and adding on several new dimensions, the Profile 22mm Elite Crank saw the light of day. “We wanted […]
2001 initiated the release of our Classic Mini Hub set. One of the most important components created in our machine shop. 9 years later, of equal importance, and after a year of testing, the release of the Profile Elite Rear Hub was set into motion. What is/was all the hype? […]
In celebration of Profile Racing’s 50th anniversary, owner and founder, Jim Alley, invites us into the company’s original Florida location where some sections of this dark and dusty industrial cave have been sealed off since 2004.

Although we’ve mentioned in a previous post, that some of our most productive and innovative years were between 2007 and 2010, we can’t fully grasp at what level, comparatively, until we actually dive into the archives. 2009, in sheer numbers, might have been our MOST productive year in the machine […]
2008 was a pivotal follow up to 2007. One component paved the way for a near future staple, the other stepped up to the podium beside the classic 19mm Profile Race Cranks and Profile Mini Hubs as being one of our most popular/iconic of all time. Let’s start with Madera. […]
Just when you think we’d have a lull in our history, 2007 sits on the podium for both product, promotional concepts and the forces behind them. 2007 saw three major movements…let’s get into it: 1. The inception of Madera Bmx Jim Alley called a shop meeting at the beginning of […]
2006 brought two things to the table for Profile: The Blade: our first, truly 3-dimensional sprocket. The Outlet DVD: Our second (and last) full production DVD. Let’s start with the Blade. As opposed to all of the Profile sprockets that came before it, the Blade was machined on BOTH sides […]
