dodgy frame work
Dont get me wrong. As a dual suspention bike with quality components for a good price the hasa stands out. But when it comes to the crunch, it just isnt all there. I had one and the rear triangle broke TWICE. i was riding very aggressively or jumping. It could stand up to the casual cross country riding. maybe it was a dodgy model, or not. either way i now have a giant and it is 3 times the standard of the hasa. Sure it costs more but i would rather pay more money and feel secure on my frame than have it brake , twice, ...

Stop looking you have found the best value dual su
I agree with everthing below from Jakamawata. This bike has to be the best value and featured dual suspension mountain bike for the money available. The more I ride it the more I want to ride it and many other people who see the bike are interested in what it is and where to get one. Thanks

Don't be fooled by the big brands! Enter the HASA!
Finally, the frame: Judging by the frame’s geometry and weight (just under 15kgs), this is an All Mountain bike, although I use it mainly for cross country. All Mountain bikes generally have sturdier frames, more travel in their suspension, and are generally heavier than Cross Country bikes. Coming from my old steel mountain bike weighing 20kgs unloaded, the HASA’s weight is more than fine for me. Having done a fair bit of welding myself on home projects, I can tell the welds on the HASA’s frame are excellent. Flawless beads running right along where tubes meet gives me the confidence that the frame will hold up, and being a light fellow I’m sure I don’t have to worry about it. If you look closely at the suspension you’ll see the rear end of the bike also pivots near the cassette, unlike many other brands rear suspension. At a nearby bike store, their brand name bikes had this suspension setup (called Tru4), which they seemed overly proud of, and they described how it maximises pedalling efficiency. The HASA came with the same suspension setup as standard, another bonus to me! The frame design is excellent. The tapered headset already shows that this bike is worth more than the asking price. The bottom tube twists from a round to oval shaped where it meets the bottom bracket, a very attractive design, while the rear half of the frame is made of more square and rectangular tubes to give the bike a hardcore industrial look; one I am quite pleased with. The paint quality is high, and makes me think twice about taking the bike into the rocks every weekend for fear of getting it scratched, but I know this is unavoidable. Be proud of your bikes war scars. I’m never going to sell it anyway. I love it! It handles so well flying downhill over loose rocks! To buy every component online and build a similar bike myself would have cost about $2300. This figure was based on finding the cheapest prices for the same components and averaged out over performing the search 3 times using different techniques. I ordered the bike on a Saturday, it was posted the following Monday, and it arrived the following Thursday. 4 days to get from Melbourne to Perth seemed excellent seeing as currently I’ve been waiting just over a week for small eBay items to arrive from Sydney! Once again another huge THANK YOU to CyclingDeal for their excellent product and service! Sorry for such a long review, but I would not have written it to this length if I wasn’t truly pleased with this bike. Thanks guys!

Don't be fooled by the big brands! Enter the HASA!
First of all I’d like to say a HUGE thank you to CyclingDeal for this bike! It is far beyond my expectations for an unknown brand from an online store. I saw this HASA Dual Suspension mountain bike on CyclingDeal about 2 months ago. After visiting a few bike stores here in Perth and getting ideas of what price range to expect for bikes with certain component sets, I finally decided to get the HASA, since the price of $1600 was a steal considering I’d have to pay about $2500 for a bike from a store, with inferior components! All I had to do was put the front wheel, handlebars, seat, and pedals, put some air in the tyres, and I was off on a test ride. Unexpectedly, the gears and brakes all worked flawlessly straight out of the box. Surprising for a bike straight from the factory since usually your local bike store will setup gears and brakes for you. The bike also came with an easily attachable/removable bell, reflectors (for road legality of course) and a user manual for the bike, and manuals for the derailleur, crank, brakes, and shocks. There were some issues to address though: 1- Some of the components on the bicycle do not match the description on here. 2- The pictures of the bike on here (while not doing it justice) are not entirely accurate. More detail below: There are a few differences between the bike description on CyclingDeal and on the HASA website. The HASA website claims the bike has Avid Elixir 5 brakes, while CyclingDeal just says “Avid Elixir”. I used CyclingDeal’s live chat function to contact one of the employees, who I asked about what kind of brakes the bike had, and the colour of the levers and callipers. He said the brakes were Elixir R, and black. Shortly after purchasing the bike online I got a phone call from the employee apologising for providing the wrong information; the brake levers and callipers were actually white. To be honest I wasn’t fussed about colour as long as they weren’t pink, but I was quite pleased with their concern and the short time it took them to respond to me. From my research (since I look up reviews of every COMPONENT of a bicycle before buying a whole bike), I learned that the Elixir R was exactly the same as the Elixir 5, but with a tool-free reach adjustment, which was a bonus. The rotors, while CyclingDeal claims them to be Promax, are actually Avid rotors, another bonus. The hubs are also white; not black as in the pictures, but I quite like them, and they still come with sealed bearings. Also, while CyclingDeal claims the bike has Mavic 317 rims, the HASA website claims the bike has Mavic 321 rims. The bike arrived with Mavic 321 rims, another bonus because the 321 is much more durable than the 317 (at the cost of being a fraction heavier though). The tyres that came with the bike are Continental Speed King 26x2.1 as claimed on the HASA website and not the WTB Exiwolf 26x2.35 on CyclingDeal. Wider tyres are better on the trails but on the road you won’t roll far on them, so I consider the Continental tyres more than adequate for me since I use the bike as much on road as off. The carbon handlebars, headset, and seat post clamp are excellent. I love the look of the finish. Everyone who looks at the bike always notices the handlebars at first, and then asks the price of the bike, expecting a much larger figure based on the bike quality and components. The fork was the main reason I decided on this bike. Rockshox Revelation Dual-Air with remote lockout with 140mm of travel. These forks offer endless adjustment, allowing the rider to make changes to stiffness, sag (preload), rebound, and the level of lockout. Every other bike within the same price range as this HASA came with Rockshox Recon forks (120mm travel), good, but uses a spring instead of air for the dampening, resulting in a heavier fork. The Revelations are so soft on landing, coming down on jumps with a soft hiss rather than the loud thud of my old mountain bike. What I really love about these forks is how soft they can be. On my old mountain bike, the front suspension was too stiff, and had very little travel, so if I locked up the front wheel I would find myself flipping over my handlebars! With the HASA I can lock up the front wheel and the travel in the forks will absorb the forward motion of the bike without me even lifting off the saddle. The rear suspension is great too. Not just a shock, but a shock within a spring for added strength on those larger jumps. The bike frame allows for 160mm of travel in the rear end (just over 6 inches). Compare this to the much more expensive bikes from bigger brands that only offer 5 inches of rear travel for bikes just under $3000. The rear shock offers all the same as the front fork: Stiffness, sag (preload), rebound and lockout. The rear shock’s lockout also has a cable channel if you wanted to connect a remote lockout cable to it. Lock out the front fork and the rear shock and you’ll hardly notice any play while pedalling

HASA 30 speed Mountain Bike
I bought this bike from them on the net, and a few days later it arrived. Put it together easily, and couldn't resist riding immediately.....BEAUTIFUL!! I love the smoothness, and the fact it is fully featured. Gears work smoothly and down big hills, I just hang on because it's F A S T ! My only problem is the clamp on the seat post, because despite adjusting it to very tight, the post slides into the frame. My cure was to use a hose clamp and tighten it around the post so that it cannot slide down. I love the bike, and ride it regularly. It does everything I want, and does it well. I rate the company as well as the product tops! Roy. Sydney.
