First Ride: Specialized Launches New Status 140 and DH 170
As much as I hate the big S for their shitty buisness practices it's hard to deny they make some pretty decent bikes.

@Glory831Guy: Suspension characteristics are not solely dependant on the layout.

@noapathy: I assume they do the same as a lot of brands and just have one rear triangle but they move the pivot locations forwards/backwards to vary the rear centre measurement.
Having different length rear triangle changes the lever ratio/kinematic unless you change the linkage too.
That's why the difference is usually meaningless small but it lets them tick the 'proportional' cs length box to appease the PB experts.
