I had great fun on my Escape Sport. Now I'm considering getting another Haro.

Can anybody tell me the frame weight of an 18" Shift and Flightline.
How about the shock length for the Shift. Thanks!!!

I don't have Flightline frame weights available. A good guess would be about 4 lbs or thereabouts depending on the model. The Shift frame weighs about 6.5 lbs without shock (when you are comparing frame weights, make sure you comapre apples to apples).

The shock dimensions are 200mm x 51mm for a Shift frame.

Thanks Jill! I'm not comparing the two against each other. Just checking out how they weigh against similar HT's and FS frames. Thanks again.

The 08 shift r3 has a 120mm fork and im not sure about the the rear you would have to call your lbs or call haro. Im not sure about the frame weight but my shift alltogether is about 31 lbs

I was wondering what the difference between the Heckler and the shift are? I noticed that the Heckler can support a 150 mm front shock and a 160 rear shock. would it be possible for the shift to support this much travel??

Im not sure what a heckler is i havent seen one of those before but i do know you could put a 150mm shock on the shiftbut with the geometery set more towards xc than light free ride or downhill it probably wouldnt go over well. Im pretty sure the max you could get out of the rear is 4.75 in or 5 in max.

The Shift frames are designed around a 120mm to 130mm front fork and a 115mm rear.

The geometry of the Heckler and Shift frames are very similar; the Heckler just has more travel.
