Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $100.00
Purchased At:garage sale
Strengths:my Haro SX is a strong bike. I ride it hard everyday. it hasnt let me down in a long time.
Weaknesses:When i got this bike the teeth on the sproket where worn down in some places. The stock tires where worn out completely and the stock brakes where broke.
Similar Products Used:My other bike is a Haro F3. It is a 2008 bike and the SX I think might be a 2003. But dont know for sure.
Bike Setup:On the F3 I only replaced the tires chain and brake pads. the SX got new tires brakes and sproket.
Bottom Line:Both bikes are really good. But if you are lokking to buy a race bike save our money and buy a better Haro just make sure its a Haro

Favorite Trail:Chesapeake BMX, Severn, Maryland, USA
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $378.00
Purchased At:Bike Dr. (Special Order)
Strengths:Strong 7005 Aluminum Alloy Frame, solid trail tires (good for dirt tracks). Stock is still rock solid, yet still light.
Weaknesses:Stock drive system is a bit touchy, my sprocket rounded off at the spindle and I skinned my knees several times, so I replaced it with an FBM Race 44t Sprocket, PoVerty 180mm Chrome Euro crankset, with a 3/4 spindle. SRAM Alloy 8 speed chain. And my favorite part, custom gold spike schraeder (spelling?) valve caps.
Similar Products Used:My first 20" was a 2000 Nyquist Edition Haro Backtrail X2 (2 Haro's? I'm seeing a pattern here...) It has lasted me 5 years and still stands strong and proud, I'm bout to sell it to a friend in my band.
Bike Setup:20" Rims, stock stuff, the goods lol...
Bottom Line:This bike is a solid racebike, it got me 2nd place in my class for Maryland State Champion, though I recommend highly replacing the drive system soon after you get the bike. It will only run you about $200, I was like $198ish. I don't plan on getting rid of this bike anytime soon. A good buy for $350. It's light and quick and I recomment a 44:15 gear ratio, if you race, you know what I mean when I say it shoots you out of the gate.

Favorite Trail:My trails
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $375.00
Purchased At:Local shop
Strengths:Nice bike, everything on it is good as it comes from the dealer.
Weaknesses:After 1 month: - pedals, chain, tires, fork, crank system, ...
Similar Products Used:Haro SX pro, Redline pro
Bike Setup:extra grip tires, new fork, other pedals, chains, brakes, cut the bars down 3/4 on each side!
Bottom Line:At first, I was stocked when my new bike arrived. But what I noticed that the bars are really, really large. I cut them 3/4 on each side the first day. After 1 week my crank stystem broke. The front tirer is way to large. Bad grips, i placed lizard grips on it. Chain broke 2 times.

The point is, 375 $ isn't much money for a bmx bike, and it is race ready when you buy it. But i you race a lot like me, don't buy this bike, spent a bit more money and buy something GOOD! It isn't a bad bike, i recommend it for beginners but for better riders, get something better.
