As a bike owner whose roots will be traced again to late 70s BMX racing, I’ve a candy spot for Bob Haro and the Haro model. Hell, I used to be one of many first youngsters in my neighborhood to have a Haro Manufacturing facility Plate on my Webco. So, after I walked as much as Haro’s sales space at this yr’s Sea Otter Traditional, I used to be completely happy to see some new choices within the Rivette street bike and soon-to-be-released Buzzard gravel race bike.
Over the previous few years, it appeared that the grownup bikes that Haro Bikes had been providing had been a bit dated and lacked any actual zest. Nicely, evidently Haro has blown every part up and began contemporary.

Haro calls their dedication to drop bar efficiency bikes, their “new obsession”. Though they’re model new to the drop bar house, Haro has gathered years of expertise as riders and product builders to convey you the Rivette, their “race-ready all-arounder”.
The Rivette is crafted from carbon fiber in size-specific layups for a mix of stiffness and feathery weight (measurement 56cm uncooked body with metallic components is 750g). The Rivette’s stiff headtube ought to supply exact steering and sharp cornering.
The aero tube shapes and absolutely built-in cable routing create clear traces and cut back drag. The Rivette’s brief rear finish ought to be nice for responsive acceleration, and the geometry in advantageous fine-tuned to let the rider grasp climbs, carve corners, and assault the descents, at a race tempo.
