Throw a knobby tire up front and head to the hill! The wheelset is a combo on Sun S.O.S. If you don't like it then you can take it off, but it's a nice concession to versatility. The cable actuated Avid BB5's are just the ticket for this type of bike. While the 'Eight is intended as a DJ and urban bike it will take very little to make it mountain worthy as it already has a front stopper. The Reserve Eight comes stock with both rear and front brakes, which is not too common to see on this type of machine. Haro Steel Reserve Eight, double butted 4130 chromoly The DJ 2 has rebound and air assist to fiddle with.

Both seat tubes measure in at a low 13" and both sizes use pint-sized 15.5" chainstays to make for an easy to throw around bike. The bigger of the two bikes obviously has a longer wheelbase, but that is where the differences end. All beanstalk's and giants will feel more at home on the 'long' version and it's 23.3" TT. The majority of riders will most likely end up on the 'short' model and be comfortable with the 22.8" top tube length.

Like most companies, Haro has two sizes available for their DJ bikes that differ only in top tube length and total wheelbase.
