Summary
The Specialized Status is an affordable and durable trail bike praised for its fun and playful ride quality, especially on jump trails and technical terrain. It features a redesigned M5 aluminum chassis with a Horst link suspension system and adjustable geometry for optimized handling. Improvements include better small bump performance, reduced noise, and enhanced climbing efficiency with steeper seat tube angles.
Affordable price point
Durable M5 aluminum chassis
Fun and playful ride quality
Horst link suspension system with adjustable geometry
Improved small bump performance and reduced noise
DH build lacks some features like a dropper post
TRP Trail EVO brakes may not suit riders with shorter fingers
Not all models include an S0 size option
The Status is (predictably) a hoot on jump trails.
BIKE MagazineWhether you’re sending stair gaps, urban wall rides, or getting creative at the bike park, the Status is your tool.
BikerumorThis is a bike that handles the braking bumps of a chopped up bike park trail without sucking the life out of jump tracks, like a full on DH-race bike might.Pinkbike

Plenty of bike for a very fair price
High agility makes for a fun ride on flow trails and jumplines
Intuitive handling
Lacks composure on rough trails
Low front end offers limited confidence

Version 2.0 of the affordable Status, and there's even a mini-mullet in the mix.
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
