    Strengths:frame is bombproof, rims are tough as single tracks, most of the parts.
    Weaknesses:fork reallly sucked, wasn't enough travel, and was too stiff, stem was waaaay too long cannot dh with it, rear skipped around on the rough stuff. a little heavy, but oh well.
    Similar Products Used:heckler(hecklers waayy better for the money), bullit, ect.

    Favoriate Trail:Hall Ranch
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $360.00
    Strengths:Even though the brakes are mechanical, you can tune them so they bite. Dependable, just minor adjustable problems arose.
    Weaknesses:The Nevegal Blue Groove tires dont shed mud well and my rear one tore on a ride. My headtube might have gotten ovalized b/c my bottom bearing plops out. Waiting on Haro whether to get a new frame.
    Bike Setup:Stock...
    Bottom Line:Recommend it, just shy of 37 lbs. It wouldn't hurt to lighten, if you have the money.

    Favoriate Trail:all of them
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $350.00
    Purchased At:EBAY
    Strengths:This frame has never failed me or had me questioning its integrity, only that of the components installed on it.
    Weaknesses:Does bob a bit, but it is basically too heavy to pedal quickly up any major ascents anyow... not to mention that you can pretty well contain the issue if you learn how to pedal....
    Similar Products Used:None similar, so to speak, but my last bike was a heavliy upgraded GT avalanche 2.0 set up for all mountain...
    Bike Setup:RockShox tora 302 uturn, rhynolite XL 36's, Maxxis 2.35's, hussefelt cranks w/ bash, syncros bearhug hd stem, diabolus bars....
    Bottom Line:I really like this bike and have- on several occasions- found myself spending almost more money on upgrading its components than it is worth...then again, it has never shown that it was not worth the compnents i installed... A fun bike to ride, at a great price, with a bit of versatiltiy for anything from EXTREME xc, to light/smooth freeriding... i can only imagine what an X7 will do....1.5" headtube, 7" travel and an 8" fork capacity....Now that is freeride- and at this point, I'd at least feel safe with Haro producing the bike I could try to kill myself on....I'm on;y rating it a four overall because I know there are better bikes out there- i just haven't found/ afforded them yet....$$$$$$$$$$$$(i wish)

    Favoriate Trail:Anything With DirtRocks or Stairs
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $800.00
    Purchased At:cycles unlimited
    Strengths:Very strong frame, wickes welds i really like the stock steup. Brakes are good for around town riding.
    Weaknesses:Will replace the scram x-7 dont like how they downshift when you huck or your hand slips but it IS fast and good shifting. The rear shock was good for the bike at the price paid, however i am a little bit hardercore than most. Will upgrade the fork and maybe the brakes, kinda like those mechs though. other things like the seat and the handgrips have to go right quick, would suguest something from KONA but that is me, you are you. but seat has to go, will make your aussee numb right quick. Other than that i cant complaine, this bike delivers.
    Similar Products Used:giant vt 1, the kona coiler delux
    Bike Setup:Stock, softer spring in rear a used set of bommers that a fellow shop rat gave me, kona grips and a wtb seat.
    Bottom Line:The botton line is; get this bike if you are smart. I live this bike (1) for the inexpensive entry cost into the sport (2) the great way it handles in cornering (3) most of the stock components are great, i would recomend pugrading to the Marzocchi Roco and a bommer fornt fork. replace the grips imeadatly. Other than that this is a great bike for the money,(note to prospetive buyer, if you HAVE money like 2-5 grand get a kona colier delux or a kona colair delux. If your looking for the best cheapest bike this is it.

    Favoriate Trail:New jersey Pipeline (DH), Cannonball trail
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $750.00
    Purchased At:Albert's Westwood Cycles
    Strengths:Great rear shock! Takes 10 foot drops like nothin'. Great freeride/DH bike. Frame is bomb proof and shifts like butter.
    Weaknesses:Brakes squeek a little and fork doesn't have enough travel.
    Will upgrade to a Marzocchi Jr.T or Rock Shox Boxxer. Then it will be the ultimate freerider!
    Similar Products Used:Nothing matches up to the Haro X6!!!!!!:D
    Bike Setup:Stock, will upgrade fork and brakes soon.
    Bottom Line:Great bike for a great price! An affordable solution to get into the wonderful sport of freeriding. Dont get this bike if your a crazy cross contry racer because it a little heavy. Don't waste your hard earned money on something else, get straight to the point with a Haro Extreme X6. You will not be disapointed!
