Specialized is launching a new line of bikes but no, it’s not under the Enduro model name. The Status 2 brings updates to the affordable alloy framed platform, but also more travel. Now there are Status 140 and 170 trail bikes, and a 170 DH version that is built for bike parks.
In the new Status family are also two mini-mullet (27.5” front/26” rear wheels) trail bikes, dubbed the Status Zero for the super-shredder groms. Similarly, those come in a 140 and 170mm travel version that can pedal up and down the hills.
