Simple, straightforward, and streamlined in an efficiency-first manner. The Aeras combines the wide-range gearing of mountain bikes with the lightweight efficiency of road bikes, making this sport fitness bike one of the most sensible in Haro's lineup. Need a bike to just be a 'bike' without compartmentalizing itself into a specific, indecipherable niche? Look no further, the Aeras is a bike before anything else, and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Why buy a Haro Bike?
| Working out doesnt have to mean endless hours on a treadmill inside a four-walled building; in fact, we think just the opposite exercising is best done outside, when you dont even realize that thats what youre doing. Looking for something light and fast thats pavement-specific? Thats going to be our Aeras models. Feeling a bit more adventurous and want to check out some light gravel and/or dirt roads? Both our Bridgeport models are more than capable. Come see for yourself; sweat equity awaits | Looking for something light, fast, and efficient? A hardtail is the way to go and no one does it better than we do. After 30 years in the game sponsoring some of the most prolific MTB riders of our generation, were not only the best option to start on, but to also finish with. From our entry level Flightline series all the way up to our Double Peak Comp, we have a ton of shred-worthy options to choose from. |
