Which bike company is better, Haro or Mirra Bike Co?

• Which is better and what kind should I get for a BMX freestyle? It can also be another brand, I need suggestions. Here's the story I'm getting a new bike, my first BMX freestyle and I was at the store today and the man said that the Mirra bikes were better. I have been looking at the Haro F2 for a while and decided on buying that in the spring time. Now that the man said the Mirra's were better I'm not so sure.

• Answer:

  I personally agree with the man, but (Mirra or Haro) are both a great choice. I currently have an older Haro "chromoly" Zippo. It is pretty heavy, but I am older and throw alot at it for an amatuer rider & it holds up. I have been riding for quite some time & feel that if you can learn to do tricks, jumps, etc. on a heavier bike that is more durable, these newer/lighter bikes will be a great advancement when you are ready for the next level. Sooner or later, you will be ready for a next addition/ series of one of these great brand name bikes.The Mirra Black Pearl series seems really nice & that is what I like. It seems to me that Dave Mirra simply branched off with his company to produce great bikes, after riding Haro's for a long time. Since he is a great rider & along with other greats that help create these, I do value & repect the Mirra brand simply do to the riders experience & input going into testing & producing these bikes. Most of them seem to be lighter & I know they will need to be durable if you pick the right series for your size & riding style. Good luck with your choice.
