If you’re going to be attending the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo event in Tucson, AZ February 17-19 or the Southridge Winter Series race in Fontana, CA February 26th, here’s your chance to try out one of the new Haro Sonix VL120 bikes. In fact, since these are our first demo events of the year, you’ll be among the first to see what the Sonix is all about.The Haro Sonix features brand-new, patent pending Virtual Link suspension technology. What makes this suspension platform so special? There’s always plenty of hype when a new full-suspension design is introduced. In that respect, our new Virtual-Link suspension won’t be any different from the rest. But what will separate this patent pending design from all other state-of-the-art suspension systems is that the hype is real. And once you ride one, you’ll understand.
The Sonix’s virtual pivot moves in a half-orbit around the bottom bracket to eliminate pedal-induced bobbing, while leaving the rear wheel free to respond to the terrain. Its short, pivotless chainstays mean there’s zero drivetrain flex—it pedals with hardtail efficiency, and with zero chainline growth there’s no pedal kickback. The engineering may be complicated, but the resulting improvements in performance are obvious even to those of us with average intelligence and riding skills. We’re pretty confident you’ll like the ride.
So look for the Haro tent in the event expo area and take a Sonix for a spin. We’ll need a credit card and your driver’s license to hold as collateral just to ensure that you don’t succumb to the urge to take the bike home with you. Once you bring the bike back, we’ll gladly give you your cards back so you can take it to your local Haro dealer to buy a Sonix of your own.
