Built around a 100% redesigned durable M5 alloy chassis, the Status 170 2 is made for riders who value strength, control and confidence over chasing the lightest possible build. Whether you are hitting local trails, sending bike park laps, cutting turns with friends or finding creative lines around town, this bike is built to take the hits and come back for more.
The tough alloy frame is paired with new, more durable alloy rims, stout suspension, powerful brakes and a carefully selected parts package to create a bike that feels ready for big terrain straight out of the box. Specialized has designed the Status 2 range for real riders who push boundaries, ride hard and want a bike that can handle progression.
Every Status 170 2 receives a dedicated shock tune from the Specialized Ride Dynamics team, ensuring the suspension performance works perfectly with the bike’s kinematics. This helps deliver a controlled, composed and confident ride when tackling drops, jumps, rough trails and steep descents.
For riders who like to fine-tune their setup, the Horst Link geometry adjust flip chip allows the frame geometry to be adapted to suit different terrain and riding preferences. The bike ships in the high position but can be flipped to a lower, slacker setting, dropping the bottom bracket by 8mm and slackening the head angle by half a degree.
If you are looking for a versatile long-travel mountain bike that is equally at home on trails, in the bike park or pushing your limits, the 2026 Specialized Status 170 2 is built to ride your way.
