Finally some relief for your wallet with the 2012 Specialized Status DH only $2500-$3100

"We are always excited to work on a new DH project at Specialized
because it means more testing time on the big bikes. We wanted to build
a bike that just as capable as any downhill bike out there with the
right geometry and look while not killing the wallet. Jason
Chamberlain, our Senior FSR Engineer and the creator of the Demo, took
his skills and experience with suspension design and came up with a
DH-tuned FSR linkage, complete with 8 inches of travel. We added some
sweet paint, wrapped it with Butcher tires, and the Status was born, a
ripper right out of the box. Keene and Brad have been racing it all
over North America, we couldn't be happier with the bikes' performance." - Joe Buckley, Specialized MTB Product Manager

Was lucky enough to get to ride one of these earlier this summer on telonics. These bikes ride awesome for the price point. If your having a hard time saving for that Demo...you should get one...then you could spend the $ you save on hookers and blow. my .02
