Tell you what though, its amazing how quickly you get responses to a post if you put haro in the title.......

This is the Ikonix RACE concept bike. As posted on Facebook this morning.

Just thought I would put this one on here as iI havent seen any photos anywhere else........yet!

Put some dropper bars on that bad boy and it would make a mint road bike for a 5 year old!  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

To be fair though BMX racing has been heading in this direction for some time.

PLAINLY A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ..looking at what is on the racks in black black or black ..i was begining to believe that the riders were dead or the colour formatters were blind

 

it has an old fork design ,new format . hip colours its about fookin time

Is this really the new bike that Bob Haro has designed and they have been o secretive about?

In my opinion, they should have kept it a secret, it's FOOKIN UGLY AS SIN.

or this behold .....the im so bored in design let a deceased man  do it ...new range mongoose sample

again its a breath of fresh air .20 years ago  every elder member here fought to own an individual bmx ...not baaa zzzzz sheep. ..what happened !`

A lot of things in that design make sense to someone of my size - like the forks, and the beefy looking chainstays (having just broken a frame in that area). The wheels look terrible and someone put some road pedals on it by mistake  :crazy2:
Title: Re: huh?-h--h--h-h-HARO????
Post by: snapper on July 29, 2012, 12:16 PM
what is so wild about this bike .?

tuff style wheels black 6 spoke
44ct driver
open rider bars
 this style forks which are fire hot  MATTHEWS BMX
(http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w377/snapper94/matt.jpg)
bright colour
pedals
chain drive

arent they here in design here .
as for body preference s wont larger men buy simply a larger model ?

so what the big huff n puff ..again i suggest view your local flatlanders in  grieving black,black or black & zzzzzzz  yawn black        .then you will see this bmx  as a slice of heaven

As a concept its great apart from the wheels :daumenhoch:

Disc brakes have been seen on race bikes before,as have triple clamp forks :)

Is it the future?,who knows,with disc brakes you get safe consistant braking in all conditions,thats got to be good for racing :daumenhoch:

If the freestyler looks even vaguely like that he has lost a sale here  :yahoo_silent:

Post by: kev-s on July 29, 2012, 05:07 PM
looks ok till you see the forks :2funny: :2funny:

carbon bmx's arent exactly new, gt done one a few years ago and i wonder how they will stand up to a few crashes/mass pile ups

why the 44/16 gearing surely 25/9 or there abouts would be better due to weight saving etc.....

wouldnt trust a set of carbon forks over jumps, saw a set of ti forks snap today on a small transfer!!!

I have also done the whole disc brake on a race bike also...

Perhaps I am really Bob Haro  ;)

I wonder what the original Freestyler would have looked like if all of you were consulted?  Some sort of mutant Grifter offspring.   :LolLolLolLol:

I quite like the FF but the wheels are naff - the set hanging up behind would be a better fit.  Deep section CF rims with some nice hubs would look much better IMO.   :)

 ;D ;D ;D

Its different and possibly the future, and most definitely not was expected.

I quite like it just not sure on the forks, think they look to cumbersome for the sleek lines of the frame.

As an engineering design concept it’s good, there are loads of little features that I really like.

Its progression, bit like concept cars some make it others don’t

Some die hard old schoolers may struggle with the disc brakes and carbon this that and the other, but like it or not kids always want the next best thing and bike companies push their engineers/designers to come up with it.

One thing I am struggling with is why has the Godfather of freestyle designed a race bike.

Yes it is ugly but then was the brief “function over form” look at some of the fastest cars/bikes on the road, The Gumpet or Bimota Tesi 20  fooookin ugly but all go like a Geordie lass after 10 pints.

At the end of the day its got people talking and that’s one of the reasons why concept’s are so cool.

Well done.

Quote of the year Pete, quality   :D

Personally I think its different and I like the frame shape, i'm not sure about the fork design but the only way to see whether its a winner or not is to see it in action against other race bikes out there. Be interested to see what the freestyle versions will be like.

Is there any test hints on this yet? Be interesting to see how other manufacturers respond to it...
