| ol_school_bmx's Full Review: Haro Mirra 540 (1999) |
Yes, you too can be like Dave Mirra. Maybe not on this bike, but you can ride a bike with Dave Mirra's name on it. You might look at the prices of the Mirra Pro and this bike and wonder how they cut the price so low. It looks like the more expensive model, but looks are decieving. The frame on this bike is made of Tri-moly, unlike the 100% 4130 chromoly of the Mirra Pro. That means that the rear end of this bike is made of a mild steel and is not as strong. It is more likely to bend and flex. Another thing that I don't like is about this bike, is the tekro brakes. After being a part of this sport for nearly 20 years, I think of myself as a good bike mechanic. There is just something about the tekros that doesn't give you the braking power that the dia-compes do. It is funny that this bike is named the 540 Air. There is no way I would trust this bike to do a 540 Air. Spend a few dollars more and get the shredder or if you are sold on the frame get the blammo.
