from Albany, NY Date Reviewed: May 17, 2006 Strengths: For my first freeride full-suspension it was a harsh introduction due to it's weight. The bike can take a lot of abuse and can handle most large drops with ease. The bike muscles through nearly any terrain. A great intro bike, but you better have good upper body strength to get the front end up. Weaknesses: Shock broke after 5 rides, oil poured out and after 1 month I am still waiting for Manitou to send the repaired shock. Not impressed with the Stance shock and will be upgrading to a Marzocchi asap. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Boston Fells Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1400.00 Purchased At: CK Cycles (Albany,NY) Similar Products Used: Rocky Mountain Switch.

from Co Springs Date Reviewed: September 3, 2004 Strengths: Frame. Truvativ components. Weaknesses: DJ2 is not sufficient for real riding. It is only good on big hits. Needs a chain tensioner. Needs bar ends and lock ons, but I guess that is part of pimping your ride.

from CA Date Reviewed: August 4, 2004 Strengths: the bike comes with pretty good components, but i bought the frame by its self. My haro is anything but stock. I Bought the bike because it is almost te same as a santa cruize bullit. The bullit frame is quite a bit lighter than this haro frame, but the frame is so thin that you can feel the metal flex when you squeese it. If you crashed hard on with the bullit , u could but some major dings in the frame. With the haro bike, its made out of a harder metal alloy, so they had to make the frame a little thicker, which puts on some weight, but allows the frame to take brutal beatings. also the sealed berring pivot is super stiff, so lateral flexing is almost eleminated. Weaknesses: none so far, but i think it would be awsome if haro gave the option of icp hook ups Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Coldsprings Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: bullit, the orange Bike Setup: i have a manitou sherman slider up front, a romic twin tube in the back, the mrp slaum system 1 chain guide, kona dh stem and bars, truevative cranks, powertools fron 20mm hub in the front, shimano xt rear hub.dual duty rims, nokion gazza 2.6 tire up front and in the back, hayes hfx mags and a speed v seat
