Haro Bikes Bold New Brand Refresh Includes Rivette Road Rocket and Buzzard Gravel Race Bike
As a cyclist whose roots can be traced back to late 70s BMX racing, I have a sweet spot for Bob Haro and the Haro brand. Hell, I was one of the first kids in my neighborhood to have a Haro Factory Plate on my Webco. So, when I walked up to Haros booth at this years Sea Otter Classic, I was happy to see some new offerings in the Rivette road bike and soon-to-be-released Buzzard gravel race bike. Over the past few years, it seemed that the adult bikes that Haro Bikes were offering were a bit dated and lacked any real zest. Well, it seems that Haro has blown everything up and started fresh. Lets take a look. The Haro Rivette(Photo/Ron Frazelle)Haro calls their commitment to drop bar performance bikes, their new obsession. Although they are brand new to the drop bar space, Haro has accumulated years of experience as riders and product developers to bring you the Rivette, their race-ready all-arounder. (Photo/The Lunch Ride)The Rivette is crafted from carbon fiber in size-specific layups for a blend of stiffness and feathery weight (size 56cm raw frame with metal parts is 750g). The Rivettes stiff headtube should offer precise steering and sharp cornering. (Photo/The Lunch Ride)(Photo/The Lunch Ride)The aero tube shapes and fully integrated cable routing create clean lines and reduce drag. The Rivettes short rear end should be great for responsive acceleration, and the geometry in fine fine-tuned to let the rider master climbs, carve corners, and attack the descents, at a race pace.

(Photo/The Lunch Ride)They claim It handles like a road bike, but with a short rear end and aero-shaped chain stays, that make it easy to whip through tight singletrack.It has 18 different mounts up front, so racks, fenders, and even panniers will pair well. Being able to attach bags to the bike, makes it good for multi-day adventure rides.(Photo/The Lunch Ride)Haro says it is designed for the modern gravel rider with UDH and space for wide tires up to a 45c (which is the specd tire size) in the rear.Im posting the spec sheet that was shown at Sea Otter.
