Go buy one. Everything on it is great. People have told me the bars bend or crack the weld, but they have held up good. Anyone who puts down this bike was probably wasted at the time, because this is an awesome bike. If you dont like a heavy bike, then lift some weights and get strong and then go ride it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

the stock hubs were crap tires,rims were ok,the cones ate their way into the frame causing my wheel to get stck and while taking it out it cracked.so now i have to buy a new frame and axle(neither haro)and i spent more on replacing stuff than i did on the bike(around 500).if your in to only park get it cause on street it gets destroyed.buy a cheap bike your gonna get cheap parts. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$390.00 | | Purchased At: | Norco Cyclery | | Strengths: | The frame is good for bails (duh). The seat is comfy and good for pinching and the cranks are alright. Everything else rocks except for the stuff below. | | Weaknesses: | Yhe pedals stink and the pegs are kind of heavy. It could use some new cranks too. | | Similar Products Used: | Hoffman Dirty 130 star, DK Dayton, Eastern Hercules Jane and Redline XXX. | | Bike Setup: | Everything it came with. | | Bottom Line: | Its durable for one thing. It weighs around 27 pounds so it isnt the heaviest bike in the world. If I were you guys id save up and get some snafu pedals, Odyssey blackwidow (or snafu) cranks and some of those wonderful kink light pegs. And Rob do us all a favor and shutup. The bike doesnt weigh 43 pounds and nothing could fall apart or break that easily. I busted an 8 stair to 180 fakie and the everything still lasted. And if Haros suck then why does Dave Mirra dominate (almost) every competition? Two words: Stop Lying. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 24, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | U Mass street | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Free from my little brother | | Strengths: | I'm only riding the frame. It's strong and has pretty good geometry | | Weaknesses: | It weighs at least 9.5lbs according to my scale, that's pretty damn heavy. Seat angle is too slack. Top tube is a bit short for me, but I'm 6' | | Similar Products Used: | Standard trailboss (sooo nice) S&M dirtbike classic, 00soul (sweet) | | Bike Setup: | Strong, not too heavy, but with that heavy arse frame, my bike is proably about 38lbs. which is too damn heavy. | | Bottom Line: | it's okay, too heavy. I got it for free, so I can't complain. I'm going to get a frame with a 21" tt, which will proably be a Solid Bikes wasp or a Standard 250s. Not sure. If you don't mind a heavy frame, like a short rear end (good) and a slack seat angle, it's good. Decent for street, good for park, bad for jumping (too heavy) That about covers it. Good value because it was free! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$449.00 | | Purchased At: | Fridrich Bicycles, INC. | | Strengths: | Everything this bike is great. | | Weaknesses: | Nothing as of now. | | Similar Products Used: | Early 90's Haro's and GT's. | | Bike Setup: | Stock. | | Bottom Line: | I was looking into getting back into bikes and I didn't have a bike anymore so I decided to get one. I had Haro's and GT's in the past, I never had any problems with them and after doing some research I decided on sticking with Haro. I'm glad I did. It rides smooth and the bike looks fantastic. The build quality is great, very strong frame and quality parts. I wouldn't recommend this bike to beginners as it is hard to learn on but hey I'm a beginner and I bought it. I do hopefully like to learn how to ride but not on this bike. I'll buy a cheap Huffy or something and run that into the ground. So you can say this bike is only for cruisin. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Beefy frame awsome parts on bike. fusion cranks, strong brakes, alex rims, ect The blue frame matches my Suzuki Sv650 | | Weaknesses: | seems a bit heavy, although all the bikes I looked at weren't that lite. | | Similar Products Used: | redline, haro master late 80's early 90's | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | I'm having a great time getting back into the sport. I'm very pleased with the set-up of the stock bike. I never leave anything stock but I don't think there's muck that needs to be upgraded on the bike. Until I break something I won't be replacing anything. It's gonna take a little while for me to get good again at riding but I think the bike will hold up fine. I'm glad I went with Haro, they've never let me down yet. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
