First off, you dont need to start another thread for this, you could have just posted on the other one you made and said the same thing...


If you want a Haro go with the Backtrail series, there very nice i have had a Backtrail X1 and an X3...

They both lasted a long time.

does depend on your riding style though, the backtrail are made for dirt. Personally, i hate the z series because they look cheap and crappy

Correction, the Z series ARE crappy.
And the Backtrails can be used for ANY kind of riding...
Ryan Nyquist rides EVERYTHING.

Well, my Backtrail X3 is a 2001 model and the X1 is a 1999, i beleive. The X3 is much nicer, its full 4130 and it clocks in around 6 and a half pounds, which isnt too bad since my whole bike weighs 29ish...

The X1 is like 7 pounds something and its like Hi-tensile stuff...but that shiny green paint is sweet.

weigh yourself
weigh yourself holding bike
subtract difference = bike weight

I've never weighed mine. It doesn't matter how much it weighs/doesn't weigh.
