The 1996 Haro Shredder Deluxe was the best-equipped member of that year’s three-bike Shredder family, building on the Standard and Deluxe split seen in 1995. It retained the Megatube frame with chromoly seat tube, U-brake bosses and tapered chromoly fork, along with the same 19-inch top tube and freestyle geometry as the Shredder and Shredder Mag. Deluxe specification appeared in the details: Araya 7X 48-hole alloy rims replaced the standard model’s Haro rims and the Mag’s ACS five-spoke wheels. A chromoly 175 mm one-piece crank, Fusion Disk Drive 44-tooth chainwheel, Fusion alloy platform pedals and chromoly layback seatpost further separated it from its siblings. An Odyssey Gyro supported barspins, while a Dia-Compe MX-884 Bulldog front brake and alloy rear U-brake handled stopping. At 27.5 pounds, it was marginally lighter than both alternatives. Offered in Fools Gold or chrome, the Deluxe combined established Shredder accessibility with a more considered, premium component package.
