SPECIALIZED STATUS LONG TERM REVIEW - 3000$ BEST VALUE MTB

[@graffitihandstyles]

Beautiful bike man!

[@cliffordrichardc]

Very good description

[@vex123]

Thanks for the review bud! I'm contemplating whether to get a 2023 model for a really good price, or the YT Capra Core 1. Do you have anythoughts?

[@jakemtb54]

this has a significatly more downhill bases geometry while the capra is a bit more relaxed, I also know based on my friend the capra is more nice under slow speeds but a bit scarier at really high speeds

Good informative video.Im looking at the status as a next bike and am curious why you chose the 140 over the 160 ?

[@jakemtb54]

i was looking for a more pedaling efficientt bike that still is very capable

[@thephilldoc5188]

Nice bike!

yesir

[@Healthnwellness1]

Have you moved the flip chip for more ground clearance? Does it help?

[@jakemtb54]

I had it on high and then put it on low for the bike park season

[@jvh22a]

Did you ever compare the stumpjumper evo alloy or the ripmo af? Debating on these 3.

[@jakemtb54]

Stumpy would be better if you’re doing more aggressive trail riding because it has more travel I think The ripmo is also a similar bike to the status except it has way less aggressive geometry.

Is this only a mullet design or can you put matching 29” front rear?

[@no11477]

only mullet

[@immyimmy100]

Is this more of a jump bike or a trail bike?

[@jakemtb54]

i think it is a trail bike built for a beating but it is still very good on jumps.

[@hughkim4989]

I see that the size is S3. How tall are you, and how does that fit you? Unfortunately, I am 5'-7" 166lbs and exactly between S2 and S3. I used to ride a 2005 Specialized Epic S Works medium and felt it was a bit big (longer top tube) for me. Now, I ride a Scott Spark RC medium, which fits me perfectly. I am not crazy about jumps and such but interested in some trials and such in addition to regular trail use. By the way, I have shorter arms but a bit longer upper body. I am about to pick up an S3 this week, but I start questioning if S3 is the right size for me.

[@hugosanchez1099]

I'm 5'8 and the s2 was perfect imo

[@hughkim4989]

@hugosanchez1099 OMG. I think the best way is to test ride and get a feel for it. I think Specialized runs a bit bigger on their frames.

[@hugosanchez1099]

@@hughkim4989 yep def test ride em brotha

[@hughkim4989]

Thanks man. The only issue is rmthat they don't have all sizes in stock... Will see..

[@jakemtb54]

i am the same height as you and went sith s3 because it willk have more stability at speed due to it being bigger on me. I am also a kid so i will grow into it a bit more.
