Our review of the 2025 Specialized Status 2 170

The 2025 Status 2 170 is here to shake things in the enduro/park world. Available now here at The Ark Cycles in Stroud, Gloucestershire. 

What Makes the 2025 Status 2 170 Stand Out To Us?

The 2025 Status 170 2 is no ordinary enduro mountain bike. With carefully tuned geometry, precision engineering, and a high-quality spec! We are really impressed with Specialized for this one. 

1. 170mm Travel 

This Status features a burly 170mm of front and rear suspension travel, making it ideal for taming rough runs. This bike handles huge jumps and gnarly dh runs with ease. 

2. Mullet set up for every racer wanting speed up front and a party out back. 

It’s the perfect combination for tackling tight turns and maintaining speed on flat-out downhill runs. It's definitely a bike carefully designed to inspire confidence when you're pushing your limits.

3. Durable Alloy Frame

The robust alloy frame is built to handle whatever you throw at it. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, the Status frame ensures long-lasting performance even under the harshest conditions. Specialized has a fantastic reputation for producing bulletproof frames so we know this bike will hold up to a real thrashing on any trail. 

4. Top-end SRAM GX Eagle Drivetrain

The 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain delivers smooth, precise shifting with a wide gear range, so you can power up climbs and pedal hard on the flats with ease. Although this bike wouldn't win any XC races it pedals surprisingly well uphill considering it comes in around 16kg.

5. Premium Suspension

Equipped with a Fox 38 Performance fork and Fox DHX2 Performance Elite coil shock (a very cool choice of shock), the Status offers plush suspension performance to soak up bumps and drops while keeping you feeling planted and ready for the big hits!

So... Who Is the 2025 Status 2 170 for?

I'd say this bike is designed for riders who thrive on gravity-fueled rides. From park sessions to enduro races, the Status 2 170 really excels at eating up rock gardens and floating over bike park gaps.

It’s perfect for:

  • Enduro Enthusiasts: Navigate technical trails and dominate every stage.

  • Park Rats: Smash laps and take on massive features with confidence.

  • Freeriders: Push your limits on natural, loose, rugged trails.
