Specialized STATUS 2 140

Specialized STATUS 2 140 Overview

Specialized STATUS 2 140 is a trail mountain bike with an M5 alloy chassis, 140mm rear travel, and a Marzocchi Z1 fork with 140mm travel. It uses a mixed-wheel setup with a 29-inch front tire and a 27.5-inch rear tire, pairing front rollover with rear-end control.

The frame includes Horst pivot geometry adjustment, a threaded bottom bracket, internal cable routing with an external rear brake option, sealed cartridge bearing pivots, 12x148mm rear dropouts, and SRAM UDH compatibility. The bike ships in the high position and can be adjusted with the flip chip to lower the bottom bracket by 8mm and slacken the head tube angle by half a degree.

Suspension comes from a Marzocchi Bomber Air rear shock with Ride Dynamics Trail Tune and a Marzocchi Z1 fork with GRIP damper. The Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed drivetrain uses a 10-51t cassette, while TRP Trail EVO 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes use 203mm rotors front and rear.
