Specialized STATUS 2 170 DH

Specialized STATUS 2 170 DH Overview

Specialized STATUS 2 170 DH is a trail mountain bike built with a durable M5 alloy chassis, 170mm rear travel, and a RockShox BoXXer 29 fork with 180mm travel. It uses a mixed-wheel setup with a 29-inch front tire and 27.5-inch rear tire, paired with Roval Alloy DH rims and Butcher GRID GRAVITY tires.

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 RockShox Super Deluxe Select Coil rear shock with external rebound adjustment and hydraulic bottom out. The RockShox BoXXer 29 fork uses a Charger 3 RC damper with adjustable low-speed compression and adjustable rebound. The drivetrain is SRAM GX DH 7-speed with an 11-24t cassette, while SRAM Maven Bronze 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide the braking package.
