STATUS 2 finds the boundaries of mountain bikes and pushes past them. Trail bike? Yes. Park bike? Yep. Concrete wall ride? Oh yeah. The 140mm version is the more trail-focused build — still burly, but lighter and more playful than the 170mm.
-
M5 Alloy Chassis: Durable, trail-ready alloy frame with Horst Link suspension.
-
140mm Travel: Marzocchi Z1 fork + Bomber Air rear shock, both Ride Dynamics tuned.
-
Flip-Chip Geometry: High position (64.5° HTA, 346mm BB) or Low (64° HTA, 338mm BB).
-
Mixed Wheel Setup: 29" front / 27.5" rear for trail capability and playfulness.
-
Shimano Deore M6100: 12-speed, 10-51t, Shadow Plus derailleur.
-
TRP Trail EVO: 4-piston, 203mm rotors — powerful and consistent.
Not for the gram counter — it's for riders who push the boundaries of progression and come back for more.
