Key Quotes
The Status is (predictably) a hoot on jump trails.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The Status is not your typical Specialized.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
This 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.

  • Stealth aesthetics

Lows
