Haro Greer Prototype
Haro Bikes are making a return to the mountain bike market. The Greer is still in the prototype stage, along with a 140mm, 29er trail bike, which are tentatively planned to launch later this summer.

Pinkbike Academy Season 1 winner and Enduro World Cup racer, Evan Wall, has signed with Haro Bikes to develop two new prototype frames. Based exclusively on a mixed-wheeled setup and Horst-link suspension design, the 160mm-travel "Greer" is still in the prototype stage, although it already looks like a solid enduro race machine.

The geometry for the size large frame doesn't stray far from the new normal for bikes in this category. Based on a 170mm travel fork, The head tube angle sits at 64 degrees while the seat tube lands at 78 degrees. Short 435mm chainstays produce a wheelbase of 1273mm.

Evan will be the sole member of the team and will be tackling a full EDR schedule, competing at two Crankworx stops; Innsbruck and Whistler, as well as the mass start Mountain of Hell race. Along with a change of frame sponsors, Ekoi, Vee Tire Co. and Classified Cycling are major shifts in his program.

Recently, Evan debuted the prototype in multiple races at Sea Otter where he appreciated the versatility of the Horst-link design. He admits after coming off of a bike with a high-pivot suspension design, the Greer plays to his weaknesses on flatter tracks, versus adding to his strengths in rough terrain. You can bet he's been putting the Greer through the paces around Squamish.

Should they even paint it? Raw alloy frames look great and stand up against abuse.

Evan is vigilant about his setup and keeps all of his suspension settings up to date in a table on his phone. He is running a custom-tuned DHX2 shock at the moment, but has also toyed with a Float X2 air shock. The 160mm-travel frame rides on a 205x65mm Trunnion-mounted shock.

Haro Enduro Prototype
He's running 96 PSI in the fork with two volume spacers. The clickers are set to HSC-7, LSC -8, HSR-5, LSR-9 from closed. A flashy gold 38 fork with the GripX2 damper is set to arrive shortly.
Haro Enduro Prototype
For the coil shock option, Evan has landed on a 425-pound spring. He is currently running the adjusters at HSC -6, LSC -9, HSR -5, LSR -15 from closed.


Haro Enduro Prototype
Haro is still playing with the frame's progression based on the placement of the lower shock mount. This section of the frame will be tidied up for production.

Where the magic happens - Classified's Powershift hub changes the gear ratio in the rear hub internally, and wirelessly, from 1:1.7. Now, if they'd just make an on/off (geared/neutral) hub to eliminate chain feedback on downhill bikes Wink


Haro Enduro Prototype
Evan is running a Classified 12-speed 11-40 tooth cassette which gives an incredible 530% range.
Haro Enduro Prototype
The beauty of the Powershift system is that you can shift at any time; under load or without pedalling. So far, Evan's 1400+ peak power sprints haven't been able to fault the system. There's a small weight penalty of the system, but the benefits can get you out of a jam, particularly, when you botch a corner or hit an unsuspected uphill.

The smaller cassette means a less vulnerable derailleur. An XTR medium-cage is seldom seen these days.

 @TheR Most recently, a Specialized Riprock with a blown up fork. Weird standards meant that no replacement fork was available, so I couldn’t sell or donate it. Stripped the parts and threw it in the blue wheelie bin. Circle of life.

 @sfarnum: Unless you took that frame to a scrapyard or recycling center, I’m not sure that got recycled.
  • 2 0
 @TheR: our town pays a third party recycler to pick up the recycle bins and recycle the contents. Why would they pass up the opportunity to sell a big hunk of aluminum for scrap? It’s not like, say, #5 plastic, there’s a thriving market for scrap aluminum and the majority of aluminum products you buy have recycled content.
  • 5 1
 @sfarnum: Because a lot of those residential collection companies don’t have the capacity/facilities to recycle a bike frame — they don’t want the paint, certain alloys won’t work, etc. They obviously took it, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t sorted out and thrown in with the trash. If you called them and asked, then you’re probably good. I would recommend taking a bike frame to a recycling center.
  • 5 0
 @sfarnum: The truth is that in many cases a cf frame can be repaired and ride as good as new. Yes resale value will plummet but you can repair and can keep riding without paying for a new bike. Alu is much harder to break from contact with rocks etc (it will dent) but if it breaks it's gone.

 And double-shear pivots. Sensible stuff.

Looks like they aligned the outer face of the main pivot with the outer face of the BB. That's the typical design choice because it's easy and safe, but there will always be additional space available to the chainring and inner face of the non-drive crank. I always recommend to my clients that they get CAD models from as many crank manufacturers as possible (these are readily available to CAD drafters in the industry) and push the main pivot width beyond the BB faces.

 @R-M-R: It’s almost like going back in time, in a good way

 @emptybe-er: Yeah, bikes like this represent the state of the art of the fundamentals of bike design and manufacturing.

We may see some high-end frame brands struggle to differentiate their human-powered products. Until recently, it was largely about geometry, kinematics, and weight. The former two are starting to plateau and we're not as worried about the latter as we used to be. Some have pursued aesthetics and are attempting to make their frames look like Apple products with smooth lines, hidden fasteners, hidden / electronic control hardware, and integrated bars, stems, and seatposts. Some have pursued suspension function via active dampers or indirect (high-pivot) drivetrains. Maybe we'll see a broader spectrum of mechanical assistance - a smooth continuum of offerings from current high-powered boost down to, say, 50 W of boost from a system that adds only 2 lb.

The point is that a decreasing portion of the advances are strictly from the frame, as frames like this leave little room for major improvement in the human-powered, telescoping fork bike chassis. The maturation of a product is a good thing, but not a very exciting thing!
  • 4 0
 @R-M-R: good comment. I'm very pleased that bikes have plateaued a bit, as I've worked out the geometry which suits me and I don't have to change frames for marginal gains any more.
My current big bike is not unlike this one, chunky aluminium and four-bar suspension but with more progressive geo. I genuinely don't expect to replace it for 10 years.

 I’ve been waiting for an effective internal speed rear hub to effectively replace the front derailleur since I first say prototypes of it (from Sachs maybe) at the 1994 Worlds in Vail. 30 years and I still haven’t seen one made well enough to really be worth running. And that was when we were stuck with 3 rings up front and it seemed miraculous to get rid of the front derailleur. Now, I’m wondering if there is a real need as we haven’t needed a front derailleur for years. I could see it beneficial for the modern monster gravel bikes that go from roads to climbing mountain bike trails and want a massive gear range to accommodate. I like the concept, and it would be nice to have shorter derailleur cages again for less slap, just pretty sure I won’t be rushing out to get one.
  • 16 0
 @whambat: I love this classified system, think it looks really cool, but is has me wondering... who needs a 12 speed cassette if you also have a 2-speed hub? The jumps between an 11-40 12 speed cassette are SO small. For gravel riding or road racing it's great, or even maybe XC racing, but for Enduro racing and normal trail riding it's very rare I need my gear to be *barely* harder or easier, I typically need a bigger jump. Even on an endless fireroad slog, as long as I'm not racing up the fireroad as fast as I can, I'm always able to find a gear and pace that allows me to settle into my cadence. If I had the Classified hub, I think I'd be looking into a something like a Shimano Cues 9 or 10-speed drivetrain, or a Box 9-speed, or that short lived SRAM 8-speed E-bike drivetrain.

 @TEAM-ROBOT: That's something I pointed out in our First Ride article last year. www.pinkbike.com/news/first-ride-classifieds-electronic-dual-ratio-powershift-hub.html

 @mrgonzo: maybe this is the alternate future: less gears on the cog with a internal gears hub. As amazing as shifting has become with 12 speed, imagine how good and reliable shifting would be if we went back to 7-8 speed cassettes with tight gear ratios with modern drivetrain technology. A DH AXS Transmission with the Classified would probably be mind blowing.

 @emptybe-er: I think even a split pivot style is considered “Horst” haha
  • 2 0
 @emptybe-er: The Horst patent (US 5,509,679 and subsequent continuations) does refer to the location of the rear pivot connecting the chain- and seatstays as being the "lower end" of both members. I don't know if that implies it must be, but in this case it's unambiguously at the lower end of both members anyway. However, from my (inexperienced) reading of the patent it doesn't appear to imply the rear pivot's location relative to the axle.

@mariomtblt: Split pivot is definitely not Horst!

 Classified hub is the new Hammerschmidt, and I loved my Hammerschmidt 2-speed crank! That was an era when people obsessed about weight but that extra 10oz was well worth it. Ran that thing till last year! I'm sure I'd love the Classified hub as well. Cool tech!

 Wait… if they can put the same internal gearing in a BB why ship it out back where the added weight is unsprung?
  • 13 0
 @Blownoutrides: The hub already has available volume and a mechanism to connect and disconnect the drive, so it's just a matter of adding the gears. Locating it at the crank or BB requires introducing the gears and the connect / disconnect mechanism.

It would be possible to remove that mechanism from the hub and place it at the BB, meaning the chain would still move when coasting - as has been done before. If we're going to do that and move some gears in there, we might as well move all the gears in there and eliminate both the cassette and derailleur at the rear wheel.

... and we just made a gearbox.

 Haro needs to get out of big box stores like Sun and Ski if they want people to take their comeback seriously. For example, Intense showing up in Costco and Public Lands (ie, Dicks) is a bad look IMO. Big box = marketing to the uninformed consumer, profit first, and often cost savings not passed on to the consumer and is a death knell of a quality brand,

 Anyone have any experience with the Works Components offset headsets? Would be useful if a bike is a little too reachy, or not reachy enough
  • 2 0
 Yes, its a very high quality reach adjust headset. If you get the 10mm reach adjust, you lose some of the reach from the increase in stack height for the lower EC56 cup. The ZS56 6mm reach adjust doesn't affect the stack height. I used the 10mm EC56 to help a mullet to 27 conversion.
  • 2 0
 Sry forgot it was a tapered steerer tube so we used the 5mm reach adjust with the lower EC56 headset.
  • 1 0
 @Comatosegi: What has your experience been with the 5mm reach? Is there a noticeable difference? When doing the math, at least on paper, whatever you gain in reducing the reach is lost due to an increase in front center/wheelbase from to the added stack with the external lower cup.
  • 3 0
 @jalopyj: unfortunately there is always a domino effect in geo when you make a change like that. It slackens the bike slightly, but for me bringing the reach in let’s me move around on the bike more, rather than being too spread out and “stiff”. This outweighs the added wheelbase and slackness in ride feel and maneuverability.
  • 1 0
 I’ve used reach adjust and angle set from them. Angle set to steepen bike when running mullet, and reach adjust to help when I’m between sizes. Always been good quality cups and bearings with no reliability issues. Just take your time to make sure they go in deadly straight!
  • 1 0
 Mine was great quality. Bearings were mint. . Used to slacken HTA a lot so it Did shorten reach a lot the way I used it.
  • 1 0
 @jalopyj: So we used it to correct for the loss of stack going from mullet to 27 front wheel. It kept the reach (+5mm) the same mostly while increasing stack. Even with the 180mm 27 fork, there was still a much smaller ATC. Made a noticeable difference to rider.

 Awesome lookin rig for an awesome dude. Classified hub sounds sweet. Compensating for the weight/inertia with a smaller cassette. Good luck Evan!

 The 2 speed hub is like a front derailleur, but now out back, proprietary system, added weight, added complexity, increased cost and increased risk of failure.

It gets me thinking, is there a reason enduro racers aren’t rocking a Pinion?

 drag, frame design etc. When i first got to ride a Katipo i instantly was like , wow the drag is terrible. you get used to it but then hop on a normal drivetrain and you wouldnt go back lol IMO gearbox's have along way to go... which will probably be on electric bikes first.

 Does it look good because it does or because after a sec one is just looking at all those welds?
Who knows...

 Can’t see any difference between this and a patrol or process. Other than that, looks simple and functional

 It would make a lot more sense to have the classified in the BB rather than in the rear hub. Also, time to get rid of BSA when everyone except Shimano is using 30mm spindles. I'm quite sure it would be possible to fit a planetary gear system within a T47/ BB 386 evo.

 You had me in the first half, not gonna lie... I'll die on the 24mm spindle hill, it's just bomber.

 considering how many bikes have a complicated linkage directly at the bottom bracket, I guess this won't happen

 I wonder how small a strong enough cvt could be made, and if it’d fit in a t47 shell

 The migration to UDH happened smoothly enough. We could do 34.9 seat tube and T47 if we wanted to.

 @dreamlink87: already exists, weighs a ton, hugely inefficient, but sure, let’s keep reinventing the wheel.

 24mm spindle is better in everyway that matters/is perceivable by the rider, I will die on that hill.
  • 1 0
 @therealmancub: I agree on the 24mm spindle but the problem is that nobody besides Shimano makes one for the MTB world. On the road you have a couple brands like Rotor, SRM, etc.
For MTB every other manufacturer moved to 30mm and BSA is not a good fit. Having T47/ 386 evo would be way better and not a problem for 24mm spindles anyways.

 @therealmancub: bmx does just fine with 20mm. I feel like it’s in the same lane as handlebar diameter, where the extra size is entirely unnecessary.
