If BMX were an intergalactic battlefield, the S-Works Race frame would be a nuclear smart bomb aimed straight for the podium. Advanced weaponry doesn't get more space age than this. We utilized Specialized monocoque technology to engineer the S-Works'' incredibly strong yet lightweight top tube and main triangle gusset configuration. Before encapsulating the S-Works' butted down tube inside the monocoque, we welded it to the forged and CNC machined head tube. The rear stays are constructed from a one-piece triple void extrusion - thus no weld joints on the gusset plates behind the bottom bracket - and TIG welded to our cold forged and CNC machined dropouts. The left dropout features optional caliper mounts for a disc brake. Monocoque top tube with internal brake cable routing tube, adjustable three-position chain tensioners, double-butted seat tube, extruded and CNC machined 3D seatstay yoke.

Strengths: This bike is awsome. The strength and performance of this frame was unbelieable. Even though this is a aluminium frame, i have dont a bit of dirt jumping on it and it held up fine.
Weaknesses: none, maybe the paint job on them, they are powder coated and chip really easily. Make is really hard to get the resprayed and for all the graphics to be put on again as they will be really hard to make by a sign writer.
Bottom Line:
Unreal frame and recomend it to any seroius racer. It is a very expensive frame but well worth it.
