Introducing "The Porter"...

(click on images for larger view)

Now for the moment you have all been waiting for...details on the slopestyle bike! "The Porter" is about as close to an exact replica to the complete bike that Eric Porter rides. We most all the same parts he uses on his own bike. Yes, it's expensive! But like good wine and fast cars, most of the finer things in life are expensive.

This bike rocks. The pics don't do it justice at all!

I'll caution ya'll that we ordered VERY limited quantities of these. If you want one, talk to your local dealer. These are part of our 2010 line, so we'll be getting them into stock in the Fall.

Enjoy!

Danda-danda... nakaka tulo-laway. Very similar ang frame design sa Haro Shift R5 ko. Although I'll probably slopestyle only in my dreams, nakaka-inspire na gayahin ang set-up. Razz

Meron na akong Nevs so pwede nako mag SB8 combi. Smile

Pero wag muna ngayon. Tag-ulan e.

Paksyet, anlupit nito.

We need a review! Dali para malaman natin if it's worth it. Hehe. Sana magpahiram ang "Haro" ng bikes para ma-review natin! Haha!

i'd still pick the X6 over this. mas all-around ang feel. pero pwede rin gawing AM ang setup ng porter.

Actually the X6 was one of my options when I was looking for bikes. In the end I picked up the Shift R5 because its the same price range within my budget and it has better components, and my wife wanted me to stick to XC/AM - ayaw nya ako mag DH/FR. Razz

Di lang nya alam...

Hirap ng biker din ang wife.

Anyway, I'm quite happy and have no regrets with my Shift. It does what I want in a bike. It's heavier than my previous HT, pero nabawi dahil may granny na for climbs. My only gripe is the smooth rolling SB8's, pero ayos na ngayon dahil naka-Nevs na. Smile

Gwapo lang talaga ang Porter among all of the bikes offered by Haro.

Okay na din shift mo man, all arounder. Si Darkman ganyan din gamit naka Pike.

Patira mo na lang kay Joy Iballa yung shift mo nang ma-shift to Porter look at a minimal cost!

Tapos si elo bahala mag Fox-ify ng fork mo kung gusto mo lang naman hehe. White saddle, white grips, voila instant porter!

FOXIFY! hahahaha! i likey.

Haro Porter and the slopestyle prince... Hmm... Hehe.

Hahaha! Ayos! FOXIFY! Me likey.

That's a thought - magaling nga work ni Joy Iballa, I haven't actually seen his work pero I've read a lot about him in the-forum-that-cannot-be-named. Razz

Laspagin ko muna bike ko before I think about doing anything with it. Smile

@Elo - may koneksyon ka sa Fox? Smile
