Here’s the word from Kurt over at BMX Union who’s at Interbike working hard to keep us all updated with what’s new for 2014!
“Alright, so here’s what I know… Profile is working on a freecoaster. They are just getting into testing and they are a ways out from its release. They can’t share what’s inside just yet, but I can tell you the internals are based off a cassette hub which is really interesting. This hub looks super promising and I’m sure we’ll be hearing more in the future! We will keep you posted.”

why have different size hub flanges?moronic
All i know is Tyler Gilliard has been involved in the development of the freecoaster, dont know any more than that….
I don’t believe it’s going to work, but I hope to be proven wrong!
I think the market is big enough for Profile to want a piece of the pie!
I would be stoked if Shimano put their R&D into making an ultimate freecoaster
I have been told they aim to release it during spring next year, I’m trying to find out a little more info one what axle options there will be. Especially as Profile offer a 3/8ths Full Female (Not the She-Male one pictures) & 14mm Male Axles on their Cassette Hubs. I really hope this one works out well, i will be owning one!
so style…
I’ve heard pretty good things about it from a source who had access and to a prototype. I’m a lot more hopeful now than I was this morning. Fingers crossed this will be a good product. I do not expect it to be very cheap, though!
Profile has yet to disappoint. Hope they do their homework on this and release the mother of all fc
It will probably be super light, super strong, and super expensive!
The Cult one looks good too. Things are looking up. It might be time to get coasting again!!!
