The test team over at BMX Plus! put the 2014 Haro 300.1 through its paces, riding the bike at both the skate park and on the street.
From BMX Plus:
Our first thought when looking at the 300.1 was that this was definitely a good-looking bike for the money. Usually, when dealing with less expensive bikes, it is easy to look at them and tell where costs were cut and money was saved, but the 300.1 had a quality look with all the details in all the right spots…
300.1 got a highspeed introduction to the world of street riding, and we couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised at its performance. When it came to the geometry, we felt right at home with the 21 -inch top tube and 13.75-inch rear end, a geometry that is great for all types of riding and perfect for taller entry-level riders. Pulling up for manuals felt easy but controlled, while bunnyhopping and spinning felt comfortable and stable. When paired up with the frontload stem, the 8.75-inch bars felt just right, giving us enough height to be comfortable while allowing for us to get over the front end of the bike a little easier than with a shorter setup…
