Specialized STATUS 2 170 Mountain Bike

Specialized STATUS 2 170 Mountain Bike Overview

Specialized STATUS 2 170 Mountain Bike is a trail mountain bike with a durable M5 alloy chassis, 170mm rear travel, and a FOX FLOAT 38 Rhythm fork with 170mm travel. It uses a mixed-wheel setup with a 29-inch front tire and a 27.5-inch rear tire, paired with Specialized hookless alloy rims and Butcher 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 FOX DHX Performance rear shock with Ride Dynamics Trail Tune and a FOX FLOAT 38 Rhythm 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.
