Advantages: Really sturdy,top notch performance,strong enough to take anything you dish out. Disadvantages: none that I can find.
...The reputation this bike has for being too heavy stopped me from trying one for years but I was tired of riding bikes that broke too easliy so I gave it a shot.This bike is heavier than you average freestyle bike,however if you weigh over 170lbs you may wanna try one of these.The overall performance is astounding.It literally rides and performs like nothing else.You get a feel for the weight really quickly and you're not gonna break it from normal jumping and park use.Everything from the breaking system,crank assembly,and forks right down to the stock seat is perfect.Unfortunately Specialized stopped making this bike but there are alot of them around in nearly new condition if you're willing to spend a little time on ebay or craigslist....

Advantages: Sound geometry, Quality components Disadvantages: Just much too heavy for it's own good
...It is not a common sight to see a well respected mountain bike company cross to makeing high quality BMX bikes. But specialized ahve certainly come very close. For a mountain biker or a BMXer a specialised 415 comes very close to being up there with the best of the BMX bikes. But they fell down on one key aspect of the conversion from Mountain bikes to the very different BMX bikes. There managed to change the geometry, the accesories and even the brakes but there is one place that they messed up big time. It is just tooooooo heavy. They are too used to there heavy mountain bikes that in my eyes they have spoiled an otherwise floorless BMX. i eagerly await the 2002 edition as if the weight problem is tackled it will be a great all round bike!!...
