Strengths: Really strong and agile, looks good, very progressive travel, good stand over height, all round bike for freeride and downhill racing, nice looking bikeWeaknesses: Original parts were shocking-Forks, shock, bars, brakes, stem, wheels, saddle, cranks, pedals, chain device and tyres had to go straight away and its heavy as wellBottom Line: Couldnt find a better beginner to intermediate bike anywhere at all, its an amazing bike, after 2 years of Dh and Fr on it im still using it and not planning to changing till end of 2012. It is a really nice adaptable bike as you can put boxxers etc on and make it a very UK friendly dh bike, Even though the stock components are crap they are easy to upgrade and i have nothing original on mine left.
Even Brendog has used his in Whistler and Morzine!!
Brilliant bike, would recommend to anyone giving dh a go or fr or just anyone whos an intermediate but maybe go for a higher model and get the better spec and buy second hand as there is loads and theyre cheap.

Strengths: Frame, The rear shock. Good value for the Price. Looks nice. It's a toy.Weaknesses: the worse is probably the brakes. How did they think at specialized ? I understand that they wanted to have bike under 2000 USD but those brakes will kill you on a DH track. You can't stop the bike. V-brakes are way much better. The pedals are as well not that good.Bottom Line: With this bike, you can't go wrong. You can jump trail, rocks or canyon, jump, have fun in a bike park and even go downhill on a regular basic without shame. I was really pleased by that model. I didn't have 4500USD to spend on a DH bike so I do still think that I made a bargain with the Big Hit. The bike has a great fun geometry, it's really nervous in a bike park. The X-fusion fork does its job as much as the rear shock.
My advice is that you immediately change the brakes. Those F### Juicy 3 are the worse part on that bike. I crashed several times this summer because I could not stop or slow down the bike. It's a shame. Just change them and enjoy that green great bike. I guess that if you go banana and start to customize it with a new fork (888 or Boxxer) AND new brakes, you will probably have the best bike on earth with a load of fun.
One more thing, forget to ride flat with that bike, it is too heavy. Your heart won't make it.
