Looking for a bike to shred Whistler or Stevens Pass this summer, but want to have money left over for lift tickets and gas? The 2012 Specialized Status may be just the bike. The Status replaces the venerable Big Hit as Specialized’s budget downhill/freeride machine. With 200mm of travel, beefy wheels, wide tires and wide bars, this bike is ready for a summer of bike park action.
The Specialized Status is available in two configurations – the Status I ($2299) comes with a single crown X-Fusion front fork, while the Status II ($2850) comes with a dual-crown Rock Shox Domain. Both bikes are fully capable of handling the roughest terrain around – much of the technology on the Status was derived from the DH World Cup proven Demo.
With the Whistler Bike Park opening on May 18th (less than seven weeks away), now is the perfect time to check out a Status. If your ideal summer day consists of lap after lap of A-Line and Dirt Merchant, or maybe some laps on Goat’s Gully up in the Garbanzo Zone, then this is the bike for you.
We currently have both the Specialized Status I and II in stock – come on in take a look!
