I didn’t have to channel my inner grom to write the 2017 HARO Pavement/Commuter/Fitness Bike Catalog text, but it was still a very rewarding experience.
PAVEMENT / COMMUTER
Is your weekend spent exploring fire roads, or farmers’ markets? Are you committed to fitness, or your carbon footprint? Feel free to check all of the above, with a bike from the gravel-compatible Solum series, or the pavement-oriented Ventus collection. Sharing Haro’s Rider-Optimized Geometry, durable Shimano components, and powerful disc brakes, the 2017 Haro Commuter Series is built for speed, durability, and fun.
SOLUM SERIES
the road less traveled
When two roads diverge in the woods, do you take the one without tire tracks? Solum bikes are your versatile travel companion, transitioning smoothly from pavement to that irresistibly overgrown fire road. Featuring Haro’s Rider-Optimized Geometry, high quality aluminum alloy frame, front suspension and disc brakes, the Solum is designed to ensure a comfortable ride, on a bike that always advocates exploration.
ASTORIA
adventure compatible
When the line on the map becomes a series of dots, and the road is rutted and jungly, you need the Astoria, with 63mm of front suspension travel, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and upgraded Shimano 27 speed drivetrain.
WESTLAKE
the ride begins around the bend
When you can’t stand not to know what’s around the next bend, grab your Westlake. Go further and see more with 63mm of front suspension travel, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, an elevation-conquering Shimano 24 speed drivetrain and fast-rolling, durable Kenda tires.
BRIDGEPORT ST
instagram views ahead
Oh, the places you’ll go on your Bridgeport ST, a lightweight Step-Thru aluminum alloy bike with hill-conquering Shimano gearing, a comfy 63mm of front suspension, and safe and powerful mechanical disc brakes. Available in color choices as beautiful as the view, the Bridgeport ST is your Instagram-ready riding companion.
VENTUS
two-wheeled riding buddy
Your Ventus doesn’t care how many other bicycles you’ve ridden.
It’s always ready to get away for the weekend.
And it unfailingly goes your exact pace.
Find your perfect workout partner with the Ventus collection, four models that never tell you “not today.” All Ventus bikes feature a high-quality aluminum alloy frame designed with Rider-Optimized Geometry for a great fit, a wide range of gears to tackle a wide range of terrain, a comfy saddle and flat, swept back bars, and the advanced stopping power of disk brakes. Get strong, confident and fit as you run errands, commute, get your burn on, or tackle a charity ride, all on your Ventus.
RIVON SI
commitment to fast
This is your year to raise your mileage and lower your PR, and the Rivon Si is your accomplice, cheerleader and crew chief. Get serious on a Ventus aluminum alloy frame and carbon fork, light and intuitive 2017 Sora 2×9 Sora drive train, and Shimano M315 hydraulic disc brakes.
RIVON
#outsideisfree
Break up with your car, your gym, and your therapeutic donut habit. Get outside further, faster and have more fun on the Rivon with aluminum alloy frame and fork with Rider Optimized Geometry, 24 speeds, and hydraulic disk brakes.
AERAS
grab another round
The party’s just getting started. So grab your helmet, grab your Rivon and grab another round, on a fast, efficient, fun aluminum alloy frame with Rider Optimized Geometry, Shimano components, and hydraulic disk brakes. Whether you’re riding for fitness, transportation or fun, the Aeras is your bike for a good time.
AIRE
Ride into the sunset
Get that workout glow pedaling through the countryside, or roll with ease on errands in town. You’ll be riding with grace and power on the Aire, with lightweight aluminum step-thru frame, safe and powerful disc brakes, and quality Shimano shifting.
