A reinforcement beam for a vehicle has an outer beam profile and an inner beam profile. The outer beam profile define an elongated hollow body and includes a front wall portion and a rear wall portion. The outer beam profile may include upper and lower flanges that formed in planar extension of the font wall portion. The inner beam profile may include a C-shape defining an upper shear wall and a lower shear wall that each extend between the front wall portion and the rear wall portion. The outer beam profile and the inner beam profile may be formed from a single sheet material through a roll-forming process. The inner beam profile may be present over a central section of the elongated hollow body and have a length that is less than half the length of the elongated hollow body.
