Specialized Status 170 2 Base 2025

STATUS 2 finds the boundaries of mountain bikes and pushes past them

Is it a trail bike? Yes. Park bike? Yep. Cruise to the convenience store and stop for a stealth session on a concrete wall ride? Oh yeah. STATUS 2 is a bike meant to be ridden, however or wherever you ride. Whether you are on the trails, at the bike park, in the streets, or just cutting turns with your friends on a local hill, the STATUS 2 will allow you to ride your way.

Built by riders
Each build starts with a super strong M5 alloy chassis and tough alloy wheels. Stout suspension, powerful brakes, and popular drivetrain options round out these builds to catch big hits, pedal smooth, and provide a ton of stoppage. It’s not for the gram counter—it’s for those riders who push the boundaries of progression and come back for more.

Ride dynamics tuned
Before showing up at your doorstep or local bike shop, each STATUS 2 gets a special shock tune from our Specialized Ride Dynamics team—a group that eats, sleeps, and breathes mountain bike suspension. The characteristics of the shock are designed to complement the kinematics of the new STATUS 2 perfectly.

Let’s get personal
Each model of STATUS 2 features neatly packaged flip chips (located on the Horst pivot link, close to the rear axle) that allow the rider to finely tune the frame’s geometry to their desired ride or terrain. Bikes ship in the high position but can be ‘flipped’ to lower and slacker—8 mm lower bottom bracket and half a degree slacker head tube angle.

Simplicity
STATUS 2 170 was designed to be dead simple and ready to deliver, regardless of terrain. The Ride Dynamics team developed the kinematics and dialed in the geo to deliver a snappy, poppy bike that’s at home on both technical singletrack and gapping a set of stairs.

Durability
Each build starts with a super strong M5 alloy chassis and tough alloy wheels. Stout suspension, powerful brakes, and popular drivetrain options round out these builds to catch big hits, pedal smooth, and provide a ton of stoppage.

Ride Quality
With updated, aggressive trail geometry and impressively short but scaling chainstays, STATUS 2 170 is just flat-out fun on the gnarliest terrain. There’s plenty of composure when you need it on big hits and chunk—with the freedom to do your thing when you want it.
