no, there are many other bikes i like a lot. i just dont like haro's or norcos. for the few bike that i actually have first hand experience with, i'd say those two are at the bottom of the list.

riiiiiiiiiight..... lol

yeah, they're great if you like cheap bikes with halfway decent components and a frame that will be junk by the next season just from doing 3 foot drops. trust me, dont buy a haro unless your bmx'ing and even then, tread softly.

haro BMX sucks

if you want bang for the buck awsome handling and great parts check the haro x6LT or go for the jamis parker II

If your not on a budget look into the Ellsworth Moment. A proven classic design with excellent quality control. I also agree that the Giant Reign would be a good choice as would the Santa Cruz Nomad.

As you can see, everybody will recommend their favorites.

You might get more meaningful comments if you post the bikes that you are considering, or which your LBS has in stock.

Also if you have a limited budget.
