Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Our team will set up your FOX DHX Performance shock and FLOAT 38 Rhythm fork with sag, rebound, and compression tuned to your weight and riding style, taking into account the custom Ride Dynamics tune this shock ships with. We'll also set up your X-Fusion Manic dropper post and get your tubeless tire setup dialled in for whichever terrain you're riding — trail, park, or street. If you want to try the Horst pivot flip chip for a lower, slacker geometry, we can walk you through that adjustment too. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

Q1: What size Specialized Status 2 170 do I need?
Specialized offers the Status 2 170 in five sizes, S1 through S5, and sizing is based on your height and preferred reach rather than traditional inseam measurements. Check Specialized's geometry chart for exact figures, or come into either Fresh Air location and our team will get you set up on the right size.

Q2: Is the Status 2 170 right for Hydraulink or Knox Mountain?
Yes — with 170mm of rear travel and aggressive Butcher tires front and rear, the Status 2 170 is well suited to the technical, high-speed terrain found at Hydraulink Trails and Knox Mountain, plus bike park laps.

Q3: How do I set up the suspension on the Status 2 170 for my weight and riding style?
Suspension setup starts with sag — typically 25-30% on the FOX DHX Performance rear shock and FLOAT 38 Rhythm fork, adjusted for your weight and how aggressively you ride. Our team can dial in sag and rebound settings in-store, and walk you through the Horst pivot flip chip adjustment for different terrain.
