1994 Haro Impulse Comp

[Conrads]

My brother has gifted me his Haro Impulse Comp as it's gathering dust (10+ years in his shed).

Has many parts on it I've gifted him over the years. Mag21 forks, Suntour Ergo Tech shifter/brake levers (the best 7/8spd set by far), XT u-brakes, SLX front brakes. Still has the original grips on it.

Nice mono stay, old sch 4130 steel, but boy is it a brick!!!!! Heaviest bike I currently have. I may delve into my store of wheels, cranks etc and shed some pork from this puppy.

Nice! I'd suggest it's more like 1991, and would have had a 400LX groupset originally. It is the same frame, though, as the higher end Haro Extreme with XT. Cool that you have the original grips and oversized bar/stem. I think the seat may be original, the cranks probably are too. Originally it would have had a fluro pink straight blade rigid fork.

You must be right on the 1991 year as it has 400LX front & rear D's (he brought it on close out). I think the cranks are my old ones I gave him (LX or DX level 74/110), I'll check the model number tomorrow. Yes it had the fluro pink forks, but those are sadly long gone (just like the old shifters).

Hi Mark,

It's a Medium 17.5 inch frame (bit small for me as I ride a 19"). Has a non std seat post but odd ball sized 26mm (needed to get my bro into the correct height position).
Brakes are like non-existent compared to my modern Hope Race X2 or XTR discs.
Forks improved the ride a lot from my memory. I gave my bro some Scott forks from 93 then the Mag 21s when I upgraded to a set of 99 SIDs.

The shifter/brake (best lever bend ever) combo is the bomb for dumping lots of gears, only matched by my XTR Di2 25 years later!!!!

Re:

That's awesome! I used to ride a 89 Haro team master & a 91 Haro sport bmx the decals look more like the 89 /90 decals but that was on the bmx bikes. Look forward to seeing how it comes along
