Status DH
The Status is a replacement for the venerable Big Hit downhill/freeride bike, with an all-new, 200mm-travel M4 alloy frame built with geometry adopted (and adapted) from the Demo; it sports a lower bottom bracket and slacker head angle than the Big Hit. The FSR suspension is also newly modified, with a linear shock rate which, combined with the geometry, is said to make it a much more capable downhill race bike. The Status is aimed at new gravity riders, whether they're kids or senior riders and looking to race or just run laps in the bikepark.
It uses a 1-1/2in head tube and runs bearings in all of its pivots (save for the forward shock mount). It'll be offered in two models: Status 2 and Status 1. The former runs just over $3,000 with a RockShox Domain dual crown fork and Fox DHX RC damper. The Status shares forgings with the SX Trail, and while both models come with a single ring and chainguide, it'll accept an E-Type front derailleur. Out back the bike has 135mm spacing with simple open quick-release dropouts, though both models come with bolt-on hubs.
