Having designed what is claimed to be the world’s first freestyle-specific BMX frameset, the Haro brand has deeper roots than any other in the sport. The brand’s founder, Bob Haro, is credited as the creator of flatland BMX riding and the ‘Father of Freestyle BMX’. It’s this legacy of offering capable and affordable equipment that continues in the brand today. However, it was the all-rounder and budget-minded ‘FST’ range that really let the brand stand on its own feet against the bigger competition. The likes of Ryan Nyquist (current), Mat Hoffman and the late Dave Mirra all rode Haro bikes in their careers. Over the years Haro has sponsored some of BMX’s biggest names and arguably has won more competition first places than any other brand. Through much of the 80s, Haro was the dominant brand in the fast-growing sport with many larger brands copying its innovative designs. With a long history in BMX dating back to 1978, the Haro brand is considered one of the early innovators in freestyle BMX bikes.
