Right down the street from the Haro headquarters in Southern California, there’s a small patch of land undergoing a radical transformation. Not long ago, the hills were peppered with coastal sage, granite boulders, and ribbons of singletrack trails. On any given day, you’d see other mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers enjoying this local gem. Sometimes you’d even find yourself dodging coyotes, rabbits, horned lizards, and rattlesnakes.

Locals called this network of trails “Flightline” since it sits under the flight path of a regional airport. Barely a five minute ride from the doors of the Haro office, the Flightline trails were where just about every mountain bike in the Haro line was tested and perfected. It was a “proving ground” right in our own front yard where prototypes could be ridden within moments of receiving them.

Now, the Flightline hills are buzzing with bulldozers, dump trucks, and a variety of other heavy earth-moving vehicles doing what they do best—moving dirt to make way for future development. The sagebrush has been scrubbed away leaving only naked exposed earth embossed with bulldozer tracks. The trails have been removed from the hillsides like an eraser wipes off words from a chalkboard. It won’t be long before these hills are covered with industrial parks and houses.

With the demise of this fantastic little network of trails, it seemed a fitting tribute to name our introductory bike series after the place where most all of our mountain bikes got their not-so-humble beginnings. Whether you’re looking to simply ride for fitness on your local bike path or ride to get dirty on your favorite trail, the Flightline Series is your ticket to getting your own two-wheeled adventure underway.
