Affordable price point
Durable M5 aluminum chassis
Horst link suspension with adjustable geometry
Improved climbing efficiency
Fun and playful ride on technical trails
DH build may lack features like a dropper post
TRP Trail EVO brakes have limited lever adjustability for shorter fingers
Some models may have reduced pedalability
The Status is (predictably) a hoot on jump trails.
BIKE MagazineThe Status is not your typical Specialized.
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

Is the Specialized Status 2 170 DH the perfect bike park rig? We tested it to find out.
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
