Specialized Status 2 170 2026 Mountain Bike

The STATUS 2 is built to blur categories and invite creativity, whether you're hitting trails, sending bike-park laps, sessioning street features, or just ripping around with friends. Its versatile character comes from a tough M5 alloy frame, durable alloy wheels, and components chosen for big-hit capability, smooth pedalling, and reliable stopping power. This is a bike for riders who chase progression, not grams. Every STATUS 2 also receives a custom shock tune from Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team to perfectly match the bike’s kinematics for better control and feel on any terrain. With a geometry-adjust flip chip at the Horst link, you can tailor the ride to your style—switching from the stock “high” position to a lower, slacker setup for more stability and confidence. The redesigned chassis, updated geometry, and curated build options ensure the STATUS 2 adapts wherever you take it.
