Strengths:    Indesructible, beefy 3 piece crank, cool tires


Weaknesses:    really heavy
Brakes are pretty weak


Bottom Line:   
Great bike if you're a hard rider, however it also lands really hard unless you set it down right. This is not really a street bike, more of a vert setup. It's so heavy that you can barely bunny hop it, and the aluminum pegs DO NOT hold up when you grind concrete (i grinded through my original pegs in 3 days). Overall a great bike though

Strengths:    It rides...

Weaknesses:    heavy. Things break. not made for somebody who's 190lbs.

Bottom Line:   
Good bike for someone starting out street or skate parks. Unfortunatly corporate BMX sux. I've had too many problems with it. At least i work at a bike shop and can manage to get most of it warrantied. Had to replace: fork, sprocket, seatpost, hub (because it's impossible to find the stupid 13mm specializd axles/cones/nuts)

Date Reviewed: June 19, 2001

Strengths:    Very sturdy, and fast concidering it has a top of the line crank. Very easy to handle, has great acceleration. the seat is pretty good. has a great braking system, with the V-brake. Easy to do wheelies, and manuals.

Weaknesses:    Hard to keeep, a top speed of more than 30 miles an hour. Skids on flat land, but great on dirt. Hurts like hell when you hit the pedals (Mine are metal), which is good because my friends plastic ones broke.

Bottom Line:   
The bike is great, it has a Specialized warrenty, and rides really well. For the price that I I got the bike for I am keeping it since all the other bikes in its class run for about $400 with the 3 piece crank. Has a very good design

Weaknesses:    Heavy

Bottom Line:   
This is A great bike. I got a great deal on it ($320) at some warehouse expo. this bike is not so great for beginners or posers though because if you try to peg somebody they will slip off because of smooth pegs. Also, Metal pedals ruin shoes. But if you are serious about vert then this is the bike for you.

Strengths:    
Great value, £400 with aheadset, diacompe 990 U-brakes, lush 3-piece crank, quality wheels,nice tyres, solid full cromo frame and the comfiest saddle ever!


Weaknesses:    
damn heavy!! but that is reassuring when landing large stuff.


Bottom Line:   
This bike is class. It feels so solid compared to my Club Roost jump mtb. The 3-piece crank is beautiful, i gotta get one for my mtb. It is seriously quick for riding in town as the 20 wheels give it great acceleration and you wont break this bike.
