HARO
DX Folding Mountain Bike : As previous 'Leto' supplied by us
and reviewed in Motor Caravan magazine where it got one of their
recommended awards! In the smart new Haro Silver & Red livery for
2007 and back to Silver & Blue in 2008!. A quality folding unisex cycle with full size wheels in the modern
mountain bike style and quite unlike conventional small wheel “Mary Poppins” style
folding bikes! A very popular weekender bike for off road
/ green lane enthusiasts and for those who prefer and can accommodate a substantial full size folding
bike.
Same Spec and 'NEXT' brand as the WILL DX & LETO DX but new livery:
The HARO DX Cycle is made by Samchuly who are Korea’s renowned and largest bicycle
manufacturer and have made bicycles for nearly 60 years. They have a
reputation of making quality cycles to ISO9001 standard and supplied
bikes to the 1988 Olympics and to the FIFA 2002 World Cup.
Despite its quality construction this is a
recreational bike and not actually designed for hurling yourself off
mountain sides competitively - you'll be pleased to know! NB. All
detail specs are from the Leto DX, we believe all are the same
for both Will & Haro DX.
The HARO DX mountain bike has 21 gears, twist grip gear shift, alloy rims,
26x1.95 tyres, front/rear suspension, sprung seat, v-brakes, folding
pedal and stand. It weighs in at 16 Kg and at just under 90x90x30cm folded
it is an ideal size for putting in to the back of any motorhome, caravan,
4x4, boat, or car! Supplied without pump.
NB The red accented version as illustrated
is now sold out, new orders will receive the
blue accented
version! (Click to enlarge manufacturer's picture
left).
Mountain bikes use a different riding position and frame sizing to
conventional bikes.
This bike design puts great emphasis on compactness as you'd expect and
plays clever tricks within the 16" frame size to achieve a small folded
size with full size wheels. Some tall cyclists who particularly like a traditional very high-ride road-bike position
might like to sacrifice a little
folded compactness by fitting a longer seat post to give more room
for longer legs. I've bought a longer post myself - it increases the max
seat height from the 34" (Leto)* right up to to 41" making the bike
suitable for giants! The rest of us and especially the younger generation will however take to it like ducks
to water without any modification at all. The
other important dimension on a unisex design is the stand-over height of
25", this is OK for shorter
people - tested as OK on a just 5' lady. All new models seem to have
a slightly longer seat
post giving at least an extra 1" height so fewer people now need the longer
post!

Perfect
for commuting and weekending or more by car, bus, motorhome, train or even
plane! No need for cycle racks, can be carried easily and unfolded for use
in seconds without the use of any tools using the built-in quick release
levers. Folds to under 30x90x90 cm without removing wheels, pedals, etc. /p>
We've been asked about the non-indexed gear shift. This isn't a problem at
all in practice since it is multi-click-stopped with a graduated scale and
there's plenty of 'feel' when changing gear - both front and rear. We
believe that this is actually another clever adaptation to the folding
design where any slight problems of adjustment on a fully indexed system
would give trouble whereas this system is self-adapting and copes really
well with a repeated folding and unfolding life.

Safeman pocket cable lock on the security
page here.
Carry Bag: New for 2005, we can now supply a carry bag
for one bike with a long zip around three sides plus
carrying handles so that it can be carried over your shoulder. This
isn't cheap but is heavy duty with a water resistant internal coating and
is tough enough to cope! The pictures
show how the bike can be loaded in two different ways to
suit you. In each case the bars and seat are lowered, if a longer
post is fitted the seat and post should be removed. Quick release
levers are of course standard. The generous three sided zip allows
full opening for easy loading and the handles at both top and bottom allow
both shoulder carrying and better loading into vehicles. The simple
'square' design not only makes for versatility but also offers an ample
'gap' for stowing helmets, waterproofs, etc. These pictures also
give an idea of bulk, which is actually quite substantial - it's bound to
be really with those excellent full size wheels.

Reviewed:
We've sold many of these and had this bike reviewed by a keen and regular
cyclist who said © "As a bike (the earlier Leto), this machine is superb value. It's fairly light, it folds to a
size that will easily fit into a car boot and the gearing is excellent. On
the few short trips that I have made on this bike I found it surprised me
every time. The ride is smooth. The suspension really does it's job well,
both front and rear worked well. Even with hard tyres you hardly felt the
bumps. It was responsive, fast and easy to ride. The gear change is a
twist grip design which is uncomplicated and easy to use ... Though not
sold as a true mountain bike, this machine would handle most things the
occasional/weekend user could throw at it. Along the trails and cycle
paths, along woodland trails with roots and holes this bike handled
well ... overall a lovely machine ... I loved this bike".
