A compelling ride for the money, the Status rips!

Loads of fun on the descents
Plenty versatile

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

Is Specialized’s new Status the super confident but still playful gateway gravity bike they’ve been subversively suggesting on social media? Bike Perfect has been pushing it flat out to find out
Awesome 'Extreme Mullet' business/party handling balance
Excellent suspension
Great aggro kit spec (besides tires)
Impressive value for a shop bike
Neat details including gorgeous grips
Room for big rubber
Floppy tires lack cornering support
Heavy
Flick the shock into 'trail' mode for scything turns
170mm cranks take a battering

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

The new Specialized Status is a long travel mullet bike – business up front, party in the back – specifically designed around a 29er front wheel and a 27.5" rear. It's a fast and hard-hitting enduro bike and the price is good, though the super-short chainstays create a noticeably rearward weight bias that won't suit everyone.

Could this be a Specialized Status mullet bike? Are they really making a mixed wheel size mountain bike for production? Looks like maybe, and here's a pic.
