It's no big secret that Haro is a BMX company. Some might even argue that our founder, Bob Haro, even invented the sport of freestyle BMX. To this day, Haro remains the #1 brand in BMX. So what the heck does a BMX company know about making mountain bikes? If this question keeps coming up in your head, then you owe it to yourself to take a look at the big picture.

BMX races are brutally short and the courses are punishing. Same goes for BMX freestyle parks and dirt jumps.

A winning BMX bike needs to maximize traction, harness every ounce of pedaling effort, and be strong enough to survive the big hits. It also needs to be light enough not to be a drag. Sounds a lot like what you'd expect from a mountain bike, right? Much of the same technology we've put into creating the world's best BMX bikes for nearly 30 years is being put into creating world-class mountain bikes.

We drew upon our BMX expertise when we created the Thread series. They're like big BMX bikes for big kids. Whether you choose a singlespeed Thread One or an 8-speed Thread Eight, these are the perfect play bikes to take to the skatepark, dirt jumps, or local urban spots. Featuring all-new Eric Porter and Cam Zink inspired frame designs and a proven no-slip drop-out system designed by e.thirteen, you've got a winner that was decades in the making.
