The UK distribution of Huffy bikes will now be handled by Ken Knight of Pacific Sports Ltd. Robert Hill of Split Second Imports, long-time distributor of Huffy in the UK, was unavailable for comment.

Huffy moves from Hill to Knight

In the US, Huffy has ceased to be a major player in the IBD sector, preferring big-hit orderers such as Toys R Us.

TRU has 63 stores in the UK and currently stocks bikes from Universal, and Magna bikes from Vega Corporation.

Pacific Sports of Bristol, currently listed on B3 as the distributor of Nirve, will start distributing Huffy from the New Year.
