Mountain Bike Action has always had great experiences aboard Haro Bikes. The designs are unique, the spec exceptional, and the value-for-dollar unparalleled. We also like Haro the company. It’s a Southern California bike factory that is run by people who race and ride the same trails that we do. They see what we’re doing, we see what they’re doing; not surprisingly, it’s the same thing. We are both out there riding singletrack because it feels so good. So it’s with great pleasure that we present to you the 2009 Haro bikes. We randomly selected one bike from each of the 9 series of Haro’s 2009 mountain bike lineup.
