This bike is great fun to ride but the 32 x 50 gear comb. is not low enough, even with the 27.5 rear tire. A 30T chain ring would have been a better choice. I think The gear ratio may accounts for climbing complaints. This bike is NOT a climbing pig. It is a great climber until you hit the +16% grade and you find yourself pressing the shifter desperately hoping for a lower gear. Other observations: Dropper seat post is sluggish up and down. Cockpit is too far back. 32 inch handlebar is too wide for twisty tree lined trails. Frame and suspension make the descents as smooth and fast as a slide in the waterpark. I totally confident that with $100 investment and a little elbow grease this is going to be a great ride and still good value for money.

I have had this bike for about 1 month and it rides so smooth. I recently had a hardtail and going to the status 140 was a good purchase. I bought the bike when it was on sale for $3,299 and it is great value. Perfect bike and dream bike

The best Bike ever rides like a dream!!!!!!

Best handling bike I’ve ever ridden, best for berms and bike parks. Although the chain line seems a bit off.

I Fricking love it it is so nice to handle and I recommend

So far, best bike ever

So far this bike has been awesome, it rides beret nice, it handles very well, the frame is great for my size, the handle bars are a bit big but no big deal, this is a very nice bike for the price, I recommend it to anyone who is looking to start biking and for those with experience too.

Worth the wait—this bike is super capable and is the best bang for your buck. Don’t let the unconventional specs deter you; this is a great trail bike with a willing wild side to most any trail riding style.

I bought this bike a the end of march from specialized.com. The bike took three weeks to arrive, which was frustrating to say the least but this was advertised up front from the website. After finally receiving the bike I had a solid 6 weeks of riding it before busting a pawl and snapping the rear drive ring. I am grateful for the warranty but what the heck? Only 6 weeks go by and its not like I rode every day either. I guess when you buy an enduro frame bike, its not meant to be pedaled at all? Needless to say i am super disappointed in the product that was given to me, especially for the money it cost. Be careful before hitting the buy button.

First experience with a downhill full suspension MTB and man is this bike fun. Makes riding the trails so much easier and comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a starter trail bike!
