The first Haro bikes were manufactured by Torker.[1] In 1982, when Haro introduced his own line of racing pants, his sponsorship by Torker and Max was terminated.[2]

Although injuries forced Haro to relinquish his riding duties, Haro Bikes subsequently compiled a virtual "who's who" list of talented riders including Mike Dominguez, Ron Wilkerson, Brian Blyther, Dave Nourie, Dennis McCoy, Mat Hoffman, Mike King, Pete Loncarevich and many more. These riders won nearly every title there was in both BMX and freestyle. Media attention quickly put Haro Bikes in the spotlight as an industry leader with a bicycle line focused on the high end "Master" and more moderate "Sport". In 1986, Haro's design of the "Master" was at its climax with what is typically regarded as its most beautiful form with uniquely designed Haro Group 1 components, paint over chrome frame and forks, and uniquely designed flip-up pegs. The 1986 "Master" in team issue neon green with all original components has become highly collectible. In 1987, The "Master" was made over to reduce the cost of the 1986 model.
