    Hi, Ive seen one of these as a frame only and it looks great, question is has anyone built and ridden one with a 150/160 fork on it ?

    One of the newer sbg ones? Yes I had mine with a 150mm fox 36, spoke to transition and lots of them used 150 too, although hey didn’t recommend 160

    My 2016 has a 160 pike on it. Rides great. I also have the 140 air shaft. Always intended using 140 for local trails and 160 for big days out. However I prefer the 160 all-round and can’t see a downside, so I just leave it like that.

    I have a DVO 150 on mi non sbg with a -2 deg angleset.
    It rides fine, but it’s the only bike I’ve ridden for years…so I can’t compare to anything ‘modern’

    Its a 2018 non sbg ( I think) frame but I need to check geometry. Lovely looking bit of kit though.

    Mine is a SBG one. Ran a 140mm Pike at first but the bike felt like it could take more. For only 120mm at the rear it feels every bit as plush as my 140mm bike

    I now have a 150mm 35mm Yari on it and its perfect.
