Bob Haro is primarily known for its BMX bikes. Now the American brand wants to step on the gas in the mountain bike sector with a new office and assembly centre in Bad Salzufen. At the BIKE Festival in Riva del Garda Haro presented its new Shift LT, an all-mountain bike with 150 millimetres of suspension travel. The top model (photo) officially costs 2399 euros and, according to the manufacturer, weighs over 14 but under 15 kilos. In addition to the top model, two other more affordable models are available for 2000 and 1600 euros. In Germany, all Haro MTBs are even cheaper thanks to online sales, more on this later.
The Haro Shift LT rolls on 27.5-inch rims and is fitted with thick 2.6 tyres as standard. Both the equipment and the frame design are based on simple, robust parts. The bike should not shy away from even the most extreme descents and is even designed for heavy riders up to 150 kilos. The XT-SLX mix for the gears is tried and tested and quite fair for this price. The bike is sold in Germany via the Haro website Germany and will then be even cheaper - the Haro Shift LT will then cost only 2149 euros!
