Summary
The Specialized Status is celebrated for its playful, agile handling and solid suspension performance, making it a standout in the enduro category. It offers great value with a no-nonsense spec and is designed for fun, whether on steep trails or in the bike park. However, it's noted for being less efficient on climbs and having some component limitations.
Playful, agile handling
Solid suspension performance
Great value for money
Fun-focused design
Versatile for various riding styles
Less efficient on climbs
Component limitations
Pedal strikes common
Rear end can break free easily
Some build quality issues
Simply put, the Status 140 is one of the most naturally playful, anarchically agile and responsive trail/park bikes I’ve ridden at any price point.
Bike PerfectThe Status is a seriously exciting bike and rides like a far pricier machine with some decent kit for the money.
BikeRadarIf you like riding the steepest trails around, want to hit jumps, and love the feeling of stuffing the rear wheel into a berm, then the Status is probably the bike of choice in this lineup.Pinkbike

Bike park rallying on Specialized’s new park bike.

Ready to send it? So is the Status 2, now in five different unique offerings depending on your style, and size...
Oct 2023 · Guy Kesteven
The shorter travel version of Specialized’s subversive mullet bike is a huge amount of fun, especially for dynamic riders, and it’s a bloody bargain too
Attack focused MX geometry
Totally sorted suspension
Short back end responsiveness
Great value, no nonsense spec
Stealth aesthetics
No internal storage
Needs tougher tires for rocky trails
Not a natural climber

If you like riding the steepest trails around, want to hit jumps, and love the feeling of stuffing the rear wheel into a berm, then the Status is probably the bike of choice in this lineup. .
Excellent descender in gnarly terrain
Fun to ride in jumps, berms, steeps
Very good suspension and tire spec
Sketchy feel in flatter terrain
Slack seat and descending-focused suspension hampers climbing

A compelling ride for the money, the Status rips!
Solid frame
Attractive price point
Loads of fun on the descents
Plenty versatile
Nov 2021 · Alan Muldoon
With one model, five frame sizes, mixed wheels, two geometry settings and 160mm travel, the new Specialized Status ticks all the right boxes.
Killer value for money
Sluggish NX shifting, lack of official product info is frustrating
Jul 2021 · Peter Walker
The Specialized Status is one of the most mysterious bikes currently on the market: it doesn’t appear on Specialized’s official website, conceals its origin when you see it in person and for a high-end brand like Specialized, costs surprisingly little. We had the chance to test the secretive 160 mm travel mullet bike in the bike park.
Cheap
Super-playful and fun handling
Spontaneous on the trail
Fork and brakes limit the performance of the bike
Requires specific suspension setups to suit flow and tech trails
Jul 2020 · Robin Weaver
The new Status offers progressive geometry and a solid build at a really good price. It’s not afraid of getting rowdy on the hill and has, so far, soaked up with ease everything I've thrown at it
Stretched out geometry is great at high-speed
Plush suspension and confident angles
Really solid build with some great parts for the money
Short back-end coupled with long front-end adds some liveliness but does affect ride balance in the corners
Tyres can feel sketchy in the wet
