The Haro Rivette Doubles Down in Crit Racing

Tight turns, shoulder to shoulder, inches from other wheels, eye watering speed, all lit by red, white, and blue floodlights. American crit racing is alive and well, with no better example than the Athens Twilight event. For 45 years, the crit has drawn the best of the best to test their strength, skill, and speed.  
There's a lot to live up to, but we’ve never been afraid of a challenge and that’s not changing anytime soon. Fast turns? Easy. Sprints? Done. Quick moves? No problem. With Team Winston Salem's Will Hardin and Jim Brown of the Golden State Blazers saddled up on the Rivette, they stood on the podium and looked damn good doing it too. We may be the new kids on the block but we're not pulling any punches.

Haro has partnered with The American Criterium this year to double down on American Elite racing, so you’ll see the Rivette all over the US from Tulsa to STL…if you can turn your head fast enough. 
Whether you’re climbing the hills in Redlands, bombing turns in downtown Athens, or hitting that A pace Saturday morning group ride, you’ll be riding the Official Bike of American Racing, the Haro Rivette.

Here's what Jim Brown has to say about being part of the program: "Feeling lucky to be riding a Haro Rivette this year with Blazers. The bike ticks all the boxes for me from a performance point of view and looks super nice too."

As we post this, Will Hardin is in Georgia for Speedweek, sitting in 2nd place overall heading into Race 5. Let's go, Will! Photo by Jon Hamblen.
