Demo a Haro at the NORBA Marathon opener in Phoenix

Haro is letting people get their hands on their latest MTB models at the Nova Desert Classic March 24-26. "Just stop by the Haro pit area and take one for a test ride," says company spokesperson Jill Hamilton. "We'll have all three Sonix models available to demo in a variety of sizes. Just make sure you bring your helmet and pedal of choice (if you don't use Shimano SPD)."

The Sonix, in case you haven't seen one, features Haro's patent pending Virtual Link suspension technology; a virtual pivot that moves in a half-orbit around the bottom bracket. Haro claims the design eliminates pedal-induced bobbing while leaving the rear wheel free to respond to the terrain.
