STATUS 2 170 DH

On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Put simply, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. A few practical factors stand out: a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climbing rating: 2.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks below average. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. Your easiest gear lands around 38.2 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~3% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. Weight is around 17.2 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension rating is 9/10 — “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. This level targets big hits and very rough trails, prioritizing stability under repeated impacts. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It’s built to stay stable through repeated big impacts and rough landings. It’s tuned for steep, rough terrain where keeping the wheels tracking under hard hits is the priority.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because the bar sits about 19 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 652 mm in total (extreme). Estimated lean is about 24 degrees.

Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Internal cable routing can slow down fit-related part changes - A 2-bolt clamp makes precise saddle setup easier. Net result: Moderately Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 8.5/10, which usually translates to a highly forgiving ride. It’s tagged Firm for Downhill — it feels highly forgiving overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Downhill builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This sits in a nice value spot for its category. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 72% of listings. To anchor it: price €4.410 versus an estimated €4.583 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a strong buy in its category.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
