Specialized Status 160 Frame
Who says you have to choose a wheel size these days, when you can have multiple? With the Status 160 you don’t have to fret over 27.5” versus 29,” thanks to Status MTB's Mixed-Wheel Trail Geometry. While this may sound all fancy, it simply means the Status has a 29” front wheel paired with a 27.5” rear wheel, sometimes referred to as a “mullet” bike – business in the front, party in the back.
This unique pairing of wheel sizes results in a bike that can roll over obstacles with ease thanks to the 29” front end, and a playful, maneuverable 27.5” rear end for roosting every berm. A hard charging M5 aluminum frame with 160mm of FSR suspension and aggressive geometry provides the peace of mind to tackle whatever terrain you throw the Status into, at an extremely competitive price.
The Status 160 was created to be a truly burly, performance-driven quiver of one, happy hitting jumps with style, pedaling your local trails, or eating up some bike park tech if that tickles your fancy. Whether you’re a seasoned rider looking for a durable and hard-hitting aluminum frame, or a newer rider looking to step things up a level, you can’t go wrong with the Status 160.
For riders who may not need 160mm of travel for their day-to-day riding needs, Status MTB also offers a 140mm travel version of the Status. If you're looking for a bit more playful and lively ride, the Status 140 is packed with the same features and only slightly less aggressive geometry.
