Status 140

2021 Status 140

Sure, you can decide to buck the status quo, or you could just huck it. We chose the latter with the all-new Status 140. The result? Not just a new bike, but an entirely new platform that's changed our whole understanding of what a do-it-all bike can actually do.

But what's with the different-sized wheels? So glad you asked. Take the smaller wheelbase and shorter chainstays made possible by having a 27.5-inch rear wheel and pair them with the increased traction and rolling speed made possible by a 29-inch wheel up front, and you've got a bike that's ready to throw down.

Or, think of it as the ability to flick right but plow left into a tech-y switchback, straight-line it through that longer-than-you-thought stretch of chunder without breaking a sweat, and throw down some serious flair on your local flow trail, all in one nice, tight package. The Status 140 also adopts our Style-Specific Sizing that not only lets you find the right fit, but also get your desired reach and wheelbase to really let your preferred handling characteristics come alive.

Great Bike!

This is a beefy bike and pivots and frame that is holding up to me well, the rear shock is close to max pressure for my weight (290 pounds), and could probably go a touch stiffer, but the front shock seems good. I've been riding this bike for 2 months now and put on 150 miles of singletrack or so with roots, jumps, climbs, and the occasional ride to work on pavement too. I like it a lot! Compared to my old Specialized Crave 2x10 the pavement speed isn't as quick without the same high end gearing and being a full squish vs hardtail, but I love it so much more when I turn toward the trails, that's where it really comes alive. The only thing I've changed on the bike is adding a EDC V2 threadless tool into the headset, and changed out the B-Bolt for an XX-1, which has made shifting much more of an "accurate and forceful" feeling compared to the stock NX B bolt which felt like the derailer was slapping the chain around a bit sloppily when changing gears.

Would Recommend?: Yes!
