Specialized Status 2 140 Aluminum MTB in Obsidian

The Specialized Status 2 finds the boundaries of mountain bikes and pushes past them, designed to be dead simple and ready to deliver regardless of terrain.

Is it a trail bike? Yes. Park bike? Yep. Cruise to the convenience store and stop for a stealth session on a concrete wall ride? Oh yeah. Status 2 is a bike meant to be ridden, however or wherever you ride. Whether you are on the trails, at the bike park, in the streets, or just cutting turns with your friends on a local hill, the Status 2 will allow you to ride your way.

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed the kinematics and dialed in the geometry to deliver a snappy, poppy bike that is at home on both technical singletrack or gapping a set of stairs. Before showing up at your doorstep or local bike shop, each Status 2 gets a special shock tune from the Specialized Ride Dynamics team. The characteristics of the shock are designed to complement the kinematics of the new Status 2 perfectly.

With updated, aggressive trail geometry and impressively short but scaling chainstays, the Status 2 140 is flat-out fun on all terrain. There is plenty of composure when you need it and the freedom to do your thing when you want it.

Each build starts with a super strong M5 alloy chassis and tough alloy wheels. Stout suspension, powerful brakes, and popular drivetrain options round out these builds to catch big hits, pedal smooth, and provide a ton of stoppage. It is not for the gram counter—it is for those riders who push the boundaries of progression and come back for more.

Each model of Status 2 features neatly packaged flip chips (located on the Horst pivot link, close to the rear axle) that allow the rider to finely tune the frame's geometry to their desired ride or terrain. Bikes ship in the high position but can be 'flipped' to lower and slacker—8 mm lower bottom bracket and half a degree slacker head tube angle.

Features:

• 100% Redesigned durable alloy chassis
• New, more durable alloy rims
• Horst Link geometry adjust flip chip
• Updated geometry for more usability
• Curated parts specification for your desired ride experience
