$1500.00 | | Purchased At: | www.magellan.ua | | Strengths: | Everything looks fine. It's my 1st full suspension bike though. Can't judge really fair. But I like the way it eats trails and drops. Really easy to get used to Fox Van R. | | Weaknesses: | Avids Juicy 5- bit weak | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Haro Extreme X Seven 2008 | | Bottom Line: | It's my first full suspension. Think it's a nice startup. It works well for me. Eats trails, drops, steps. Looks evil.
Nice bike for even easy DH. Cool to freeride on. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$2100.00 | | Purchased At: | habersham bicycles | | Strengths: | well im a huge fan of sram. so naturally i was pleased to have the x9, juicys, and the totem. most all the parts are good on this bike. the suspension works very well. the springs in the fork are spot on for my weight (160lbs.) and the medium size feels true and fits great | | Weaknesses: | the rims. they plain suck. unfortunately the front tacoed on the very first run on this bike and i ended up having to spend some extra cash to get some wtb laserdisc fr rims laced up. there also was an issue with an employee of haro suggesting they might give me a new rim/wheel and turning around and saying they dont handle the rims since they are sun ringle. kind of sad that they wont help me with something they sold. | | Similar Products Used: | giant, specialized, gf, trek, turner, etc | | Bike Setup: | mostly stock with e13 double chain guide and wtb laserdisc fr rims | | Bottom Line: | this bike is awesome. unfortunaley i had a bad experience with an employee of haro and i doubt i will do any more business with them. regardless this is a good bike just be willing to invest in some rims that are worth a crap. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Strengths: | Front shock is great for all mountain and down hill. Great frame and wheels. The sram shifters rule. | | Weaknesses: | Rear shock and brakes. Brakes need to be adjusted after every ride and don't feel like they slow you down as fast as they should. | | Similar Products Used: | Yeti, Norco, Kona | | Bottom Line: | This is my first true downhill/freeride bike. Its handles great in the switch backs a pain to climb up hills but over all it is great. I have take it to the local moto cross track and jumped it and it eats up the drops on our local down hill trail with no problems. I am going to change out the stock tires they don't feel like they grab well in the soft corners and the rear shock is going to be changed out to a fox dhx. Also am going to change out the brakes to avid. It came with a drop off II that works great. over all the best deal you will find for the money. ride it hard and it won't let you down. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1100.00 | | Purchased At: | Absorka bikes, cody WY. | | Strengths: | Super solid frame The brakes won't let you down, and components are solid. | | Weaknesses: | i am n ot a big fan of the suspension but it serves its purpose well. Not that its haro fault but you are definetly going to need a new chain i have gone through three of them plus many fixes. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek session 77 | | Bike Setup: | basically stock | | Bottom Line: | Great Bike for a first or second freeride and minor down hill bike i have done a couple good drops and the suspension opens up nice. i don't like the coil for the rear susp. its to solid and not to good for hard down hill, you can change the spring for like 20 bucks and make it a new bike, the fork is a little stiff opens up nice on drops but it is hard to find a happy median of to soft where it bottoms on a big drop or where it is to hard for some bumps on the trail. i would recomend this bike for somebody who is fairly new or who doesn't go really big and then once you start needing more susp. upgrade the for and shock, it will be a lot less than a new bike and give you the same effect. and the price is the best in its class. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | Willamette Mountain Mercantile | | Strengths: | This product is built very strong and performs very well. The suspension is great. The single pivot rear suspension is very strong and reliable for a 6'9"-270 lb rider like me. I use the bike for a super-cross country bike/freeride bike. I love being able to ride uphill, which it works suprisingly good for, and then take a fast smooth rolling single track on the way down. At my large size I don't do any drops over 4 feet, but it probably could handle it. The geometry is great! I can pull the front tire up when on a downhill just by leaning back and pulling the bars. I have never bottomed the suspension. A++++ | | Weaknesses: | Apparently the suspension is "okay", but I have never owned anything better, so this suspension is sick! The bike is a little heavy (around 40 lbs), but it is fine for someone who is strong like i am. | | Similar Products Used: | Cannondale Prophet | | Bike Setup: | Stock...Came with Drop-Off II. Put a SDG I-beam seat on it. | | Bottom Line: | This bike is a perfect buy for the heavier rider, or the strong go-get-em cross country/freeride rider. This bike is built well. The sram shifting system worked twice as well as the shimano deore that I had on my specialized. This bike is a great bike, especially for the price!!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$949.00 | | Purchased At: | bicycle blowout | | Strengths: | 2006 Haro X7. this bike is amazing for $950. speced out really well. it is nice and stiff for pedaling and soaks up hits when you drop. i went from a 5inch travel bike to this and it almost made me a better rider over night. 8inch hydro brakes stop on a dime. frame is strong and beefed up all over, but still not as heay as most 7inch travel bikes. stock mine was about 40 pounds. i have changed some things and it feels lighter now. | | Weaknesses: | manitou metel rear coil shock. this thing is way to stiff for downhill or just aggressive trail riding. i only weigh about 140, but i hear this from everyone i know that has this bike. website says it comes with a very horrible manitou stance blunt fork and i almost did not buy it for that reason but came stock with a marz. drop off II | | Bike Setup: | Marzocchi Drop Off IV, Panaracer Fire FR 2.4 tires wellgo B-67 pedals oury lock on grips(the best) everything else was stock | | Bottom Line: | if you are looking into getting you first freeride bike, then this is the bike for you. you can not find more bike for this price new. stock it felt a little front end heavy but i changed the fork and the tires and she drops nicely.you can huck this bike and it will soak it right up. it is pretty alright for jumping also because the platform on the rear shock is nice. i you plan on going down any hills fast then i would change the rear shock or get the 2007 (i think it comes with a swinger 4way which is on my buddies bike and is super plush). it is just way to stiff for the small to med. bumps. this bike is not to heavy and still strong enough for freeriding. for the price i dont think there is much else out there that would beat it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Very affordable, yet great performance.
Only thing i must put as a weekness are brakes. Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes are not so far from my Hayes MX-2 mechanicals i have on my XC bike. Only thing going for them are 8" discs Haro stocks on this bike.

Most places I've seen says that is comes with a Manitou Stance Blunt, but mine came with the Marzoucchi Drop off II. In my opionon that is and upgrade. It is not very fun to ride uphill so this is not a bike for a cross-country rider, but a great bike for the hardcore downhill or dirtjumper. This is a great bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
