Submitted by Jeff a Weekend Warrior from Seattle, WA
Date Reviewed: August 7, 2006
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $219.00
Strengths:Great geometry on this bike. Good balance of weight and speed. I feel like I have a lot of control when riding this bike. Strong frame witch so far is taking "beginners abuse" just fine. You wont brake this 3-pc crank at this level of riding. Although this bike is made for dirt jumping, I have mainly only used it for street and other then the rims (which are more for dirt) there is no reason one couldn’t use this bike for street. A solid infusion of a great dirt jumping bike and a street/park bike……..Oh and too the guy who "Broke" his frame....Mine at least has a life time warranty on the frame so unless HARO thinks I am special you should have had one also. Bike is worth everything I paid.
Weaknesses:Back brake is somewhat stale. Not much stoping power for street riding. Brake got knocked out of alinment after missing on some double peg grinds (kinda my bad so no biggie), The Rims are a little weak for street riding.
Similar Products Used:Redline Single X, Backtrail X2
Bike Setup:Just some Primo Pegs on the rightside. Plan on upgrading the rims and maybe the fork
Bottom Line:For this price, its easily one of the best bikes out there. You get an amazing 3-pc crank, thick ass anxles and a durable frame, vary nice handle bars (imo) and overall just a well built bike. Kudos to Haro on making a bike at a reasonable price that is perfect for entry level riders.

BUY IT! hahahah mines bright orange and i love it!

Favoriate Trail:Munds Park
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $219.00
Purchased At:Sun Cyclery
Strengths:Strong Crank, Ultra fast for the price. Very smooth riding.
Pretty decent brakes. Strong frame.
Weaknesses:The stock seat on this bike is uncomfortable, no biggy. Handle bar grips aren't great.
For around $200 bucks the only weakness this bike is going to have is how you treat it.
Similar Products Used:Harro Mirra 540
Bike Setup:Stock
Bottom Line:Exellent bike for around $200.00 I really don't think there are many bikes for this price that can beat it.
I guarantee I can rip and split any bike ever made.
There is no magical bike that will never have anything happen to it unless it is made out of self-repairing carboly. Bottom line... Definitely worth it's price.

Price Paid: $190.00
Purchased At:Rob And Charlies
Strengths:The frame is very strong yet still very light. All the components are good too. The rims and tires are nice.
Weaknesses:The grips arent the best but you can go buy some more very a very low price
Similar Products Used:Haro X2, mongoose
Bike Setup:How the bike came from the store
Bottom Line:You cant go wrong when buying this. THe bike is great and Haro has always been a good company. It is well worth your money to buy this bike. It is just as good as the X2 but for quite a bit cheaper. If your looking for a good dirt jumping bmx bike, this is one of the best out there. This bike isnt the best for Vert riding but is still good for street.
