$850.00 | | Purchased At: | marewa cyles, napier | | Strengths: | sturdy chrome molly frame. great gear ratios, easy to accelerate. | | Weaknesses: | the one piece frame is hevier than most bmx in its class. But to make the bike lighter haro would have to sacrifice its chrome molly frame which would be a huge downfall to the bike. | | Similar Products Used: | N/A | | Bike Setup: | 3 piece crank. 20" alloy rims. 48 spokes. chrome molly frame. Oryg brake setup. haro factory gyro. | | Bottom Line: | an excellent bike overall. What it lacks in weight it makes up with its uncomparable speed and agility. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$300.00 | | Purchased At: | Staff Bicycle | | Strengths: | frame, stem, bars, seat, wheels, hubs, seat is comfortable | | Weaknesses: | one piece crank
seat gets ripped too easily (soft) | | Similar Products Used: | diamondback ignitor fx | | Bike Setup: | 2004 animal sprocket,415 chain, all other parts orginal, shortened handlebar, took off brakes and gyro | | Bottom Line: | this 2001 haro 540 air is a solid bike at an extremely good price. it's unbelivablly tough,strongly recommended for beginners and average street park riders. once you get good,you will want to change the sprocket (it come with a thin sprocket as most of bmx, if you are serious about riding bikes, get a 6mm or 8mm sprocket), the crank (it come with a one piece, get a three piece), back wheel (i prefer doulbe wall in the front and triple wall in the back-light but strong).once you upgrade these things, it will be an amazing bike. the frame has THE BEST geometry out there for people under 6 feet. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$315.00 | | Purchased At: | Cycle Loft | | Strengths: | This is a solid bike and the absalute perfect bike for begginers. | | Weaknesses: | 1 piece crank, sucky pedals, i personally dont like the handlebars | | Similar Products Used: | 2001 540 air
2002 540 air
2003 540 air.
^dont ask but the 2002 model is by far the best | | Bike Setup: | 2002 540 air, mirra pro handlebars, mirra pro seat, primo pedals, primo tires. | | Bottom Line: | An extremely nice bike and very durable. The main weakness is the 1 piece crank, thankfully the 2002 model has a 3 piece. Many think its heavy and you may feel the same if your a newbie, but this is about average weight for a good bmx bike. Its affordable and highly recomended. like i said ive used the 01, 02, 03, and a lil of the 00 model, and i feel that the 02 is by far the best so if you can id go with that one. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$350.00 | | Purchased At: | Action bike | | Strengths: | Comes with strong Alex rims, 3-piece cranks, tektro U-brakes, 4130 Cromoly frame and Fusion metal peddals. Also has a nice Haro saddle, the cool Putty finish and all surface wheels. | | Weaknesses: | Seems a little heavy | | Similar Products Used: | Mongoose Villain, Haro F3 | | Bike Setup: | As it came. | | Bottom Line: | I am a beginner and this bike seems right for me. It has good solid parts (so the guy in the shop said) that wont brake in a hurry (hopefully), it is a little heavy but not the heaviest i have felt. THIS IS FOR THE 2002 MODEL BY THE WAY.
OVERALL, GET IT IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER LOOKING FOR A COOL HOBBY TO STICK WITH. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 16, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Lakewood Skatepark | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Rev's Bike Store | | Strengths: | I guess the frame is ok, but it's one of the heavier frames out there. I have the 2002 version, so it came with 3-pc cranks, which are pretty good. The stem is also decent. | | Weaknesses: | Well, to begin with, the bars bend easily if u try anything big, and the wheels feel like there going to break all the time. The pedals wear down fast, and the pegs are crappy. The bike is heavy as a whole. | | Similar Products Used: | My friends' bikes, such as a We The People 4 seasons, a MacNeil, and a general lee. These bikes all had upgraded parts, and they all felt much more solid than my Haro. | | Bike Setup: | the 2002 540 air with s&m beringer bars, dk metal bar ends, primo v-trac grips, primo magnesium sealed petals, kink fat boy chain, FBM bash-guard sprocket, and primo dirt monster tires. | | Bottom Line: | This is a good beginners bike, but i found that too many of the parts break easily if u ride hard. It is heavy and it doesn't feel very solid without upgraded parts. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Montgomery Cyclery | | Strengths: | I has a super durable frame. It is the only frame that has lasted me 2 years. I ride street and vert with it and it holds up great. | | Weaknesses: | It's only weakness is a one piece crank. I would get it replace with a Haro Oversized 3-piece. I ordered those form DansComp | | Similar Products Used: | I have a Jamie Bestwick pro and I used to have a Condor pro but those eventually broke. | | Bike Setup: | Stock except for the crank | | Bottom Line: | I you want a good vert/street bike find this model and make sure it is the 2001 model. The 2002 models snap at the head tube. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
