Haro Mountain Bike

For those of you who like to get off the beaten track, get some great physical exercise and fresh air, while having a lot of fun doing these things, you might find Mountain Bike riding is just the thing to accomplish those goals. Of course, in order to pursue a hobby such as this, you are going to need the right equipment and that equipment starts with a state of the art machine that is designed to take the rough and tough terrain you will be riding over. The manufacturers of Haro Mountain bikes understand that and have designed their machines with just these types of terrain in mind.

Haro knows a thing or two about bikes. Since 1978, this company has been designing the very best precision machinery in BMX and freestyle history. Several years ago they turned their attention to developing a new line specially designed for those wishing to ride over some of the roughest terrains possible. They have developed a line of Haro mountain bikes for all. Four types of mountain terrains, Cross country, Free ride, Downhill and All Terrain. This company has earned a reputation for producing the finest machines for each of these different terrains.

Basic Features

Here are a few of the basic features that make Haro Mountain bikes stand apart from all the rest. The tires on these machines are broad bumpy rubber tires that helps to absorb shock and offer phenomenal grip when climbing, no matter how steep that climb may be, without worrying about slipping and sliding. These tires allow you to ride in safety even when the terrain changes swiftly without giving you much notice.

Another feature of these machines are that the frames are the lightest weight possible to get the job done. This not only makes them easier to load and unload when taking them from home to the riding site and back again, but it means that climbing is easy and the handling on turns is swifter. These frames allow for optimum performance just when you need it the most.

Most importantly these machines are sturdily built which means that for the average person who is riding for fun these machines will literally last you for years without any serious problems. They are made to handle the rough and tough wear and all the bumps and thumps that are part of the enjoyment of this type of riding with ease.

Several of the top of the line of Haro Mountain Bikes have virtual link suspension which greatly enhances the performance of these machines by placing 60% of the riders weight over the rear wheel and eliminating pedal bob and chain stretch. Making for better and easy climbing, more control on turns and ease of braking on the down hill. It also means that you can ride over roots, rocks, logs and the many bumps along the trail almost like they weren’t even there.

What all this means is that whether you are a beginner or have been riding for awhile these machines will give you the safest, smoothest overall ride possible while not compromising on dependability or long lasting durability.

Something For Everyone

Haro mountain bikes also offers something for everyone. Whether you are just starting out, been riding awhile or a professional there is a machine just for you. These machines aren’t just for men either there are sizes and styles geared for women and children too so the entire family can get up and get out and enjoy a superb ride while getting the exercise you need and want.

A price you can afford

Because this company believes that everyone should have a choice, they just didn’t stop at making great machines. They made sure they made a line that everyone can afford. These machines start at a little over $300.00 and run the gambit to professional quality machines at over $2000.00. So no matter what your budget you can find a machine made by this company at a price you can afford.

What Type of Bike Should I Choose?

Many people new to the sport just aren’t sure which of the many Haro mountain Bikes they should choose. For most beginners the all terrain machines work well as it will allow you to try all the different types of riding terrains without having to have a different machine to do so. However, machines designed for all terrain use are less easy to ride in certain situations. So, if your area only has straight riding trails, then choosing a cross country machine might be your best choice as you really don’t need the other features and having a machine especially designed for the specific terrain you will be riding on will give you a higher standard of performance.

Great Service

Whatever style of machine you choose you can rest assured that this company gives you great service. Not only do they listen to what you need but they ship any replacement parts you may need swiftly. This is especially nice for those of you who live in an area where the riding is good for only a few short months out of the year. Nothing is worse than losing precious time you could be enjoying a hobby you love than sitting around waiting for parts. With this company that is one thing you won’t have to worry about. They will get the part to you quickly and you will be on the trails again in no time at all.

Reviews

Reviews on Haro Mountain Bikes have been extremely favorable overall. Especially noted has been the durability and how nimble and quick these machines are. Many reviews rave about the quality of these machines and their ease of handling.

Up And Coming

The best is yet to come from this company. Due out this year is the Sonix650 with tweener wheels which are designed to make climbing even easier and rolling over the humps and bumps even more effortless.

Cruising your local single track trails differ in so many ways than jumping on a road bike. Maybe it’s the feeling of becoming one with nature while meandering through a thick lush forest with the occasional deer or even a moose sighting. It could also be the fact that once you swing one leg over the saddle, clip into the pedals and head into the forest or open wilderness where there are no cars, traffic lights, or even that dog coming out to chase you like you would encounter while cycling on road.

There are many reasons why outdoor enthusiasts prefer to get into mountain biking rather than getting into cycling. Some of witch I’ve been told by my friends and also seen first hand. From looking at pictures, watching videos and even reading other articles in magazines, there are plenty of mountain bike parks around the United States and even around the world for you to explore the back country. While getting off the pavement and into the single track trails, you can practice your bike handling skills, something that is a lot easier to practice on a mountain bike than on a road bike. It is much easier to practice your bike handling when you are in a park that offers an endless amount of rocks, boulders, roots, logs and man made bridges over creeks. Once someone gets good at being able to handle their bike in all different circumstances, the desire to show off by doing tricks in front of your friends such as wheelies and even riding onto a ramp ten feet off the ground and doing a no handed track stand becomes very tempting. Even though I put in plenty of miles by riding on the road, it is very nice to get onto my full suspension bike and do a workout with friends who are also mountain bikers too. When I’m feeling that pain in my legs while ascending a long climb or making my way through a series of switchbacks, quite often I see parents taking their young kids with them to ride through the park. It is much easier for a parent to take their child through a park on properly fitted bike than to be out riding out on the road where there are cars and other dangerous elements to deal with. When someone who is a cyclist and rides on the road, they feel all the bumps and vibrations that comes with being on the pavement. On the other hand, when you are clipped into you mountain bike and exploring the lush forest, any bumps in the trail system that you are on are soaked up by the suspension system of your mountain bike.

With all the different reasons why mountain biking can be better than road riding, I am confident that you will feel the same way and even find more reasons once you swing one leg over the saddle, get clipped in and head into the forest or open wilderness where there are no cars, traffic lights, or even that dog coming out to chase you like you would encounter while cycling on road.

There are different types of mountain bikes and some of these types are hard tail or full suspension bikes, cross country race bikes, downhill bikes, rigid bikes and while most mountain bikes have 26 inch wheels, you can even find 29ers.
