    What are my options regarding a hardtail that’s actually designed/warrantied to take a 160mm fork?

    Santa Cruz Chameleon is the only one I’m aware of …

    I thought the Ragley / On-one Brant design HTs all took 160mm?

    +1 for the DB Alpine.

    Bfe is designed around a 120mm fork, but can take a 160mm’er

    otherwise Ragleys, 456, kona five-o, etc etc….

    Carbon 456 (designed for 4″,5″ &6″ forks – hence name!!)

    Orange SubZero if you can find one second hand. Great bike.

    Remember you can probably reduce the travel of most forks, thus opening up your options a bit.

    I have 150/120 travel adjust on my BFe and that works well. Climbing and handling on the flat isn’t as sharp at 150 but it’s OK, pointed down it’s a riot. You could sag the 160 down a bit.

    For outright 160’s as per above Alpine/Pig/456

    IMHO: designed and warrantied to take a 160mm fork are very different things.

    On paper my Ragley Mmmbop could take a 160mm fork but became a bit of a dog when fitted with a 150mm fork…

    I didn’t like the 150mm fork’s noodlyness in the gnar and wanted to run a 160mm fork so bought a Ragley Troof…

    which is awesome with a 160mm fork.
