Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$500.00
Strengths:
Frame is beefy, Componantes are great.
Weaknesses:
The forks are way to soft godd for someone 130 lbs at best. I'm 6'3" and 240lbs. Needs a back hydro brake I need to squeeze hard to stop. Seat is a bit uncomfortable.
Similar Products Used:
Multi
Bike Setup:
Marzocchi has an upgrade program. Putting 09 44 ata's on this week and it should make a huge differance. It only cost me $210.00 for a $500.00 upgrade. I'll add a back hydro brake as well.
Bottom Line:
Good bike made for pounding hard trails.

Purchased At:
ajo bikes
Strengths:
Good solid beginner bike that can be upgraded as you go, very cool looking, for the money I thought it was a better deal than any other brand out there.
Weaknesses:
It is a entry level bike so the parts aren't the best, the derailleurs should be the first thing to go and the fork is pretty much a pogo stick but like I said it is entry level and gets you on the trails.
Similar Products Used:
specialized hardrock sport, GT Avalanche 3.0, Giant Rincon Sport
Bike Setup:
pretty much stock plan on adding SRAM X9 derailleurs and a affordable fork maybe a RockShox recon or reba.
Bottom Line:
over all I'm very happy with my Haro at an entry level bike like this your either paying for a name brand or the front fork I went with the frame that I liked the most because the fork is the first the to go and the derailleurs HAVE TO go cuz there junk. love my Haro. I'm going to give Value a 5 cuz I think you get more for your money with this bike & 5 on the overall even with the low end parts cuz the thing is just so bad a$$ looking.
