Does anyone make a 140mm compatible traily carbon hardtail?
Assuming you’d found one from Cube/Canyon I had a quick glance, but I’m not seeing anything but 100mm XC style carbon HT’s (which I’d expect).
Personally I’s suggest like something with a ali frame and more fun/trail geometry and suited to a 120mm forks, so that 140’s won’t completely mess up the geometry.
The likes of the On One Parkwood or even a Voodoo Bizango (2Soul QH or Stanton Sherpa, if you could live with steel), maybe not top line HT’s, but it’s a winter bike why would you a mega expensive bike for winter mud & crashes. Though you could go for Titus Fireline Ti frame, if you needed to spend more.
Or you reduce the pike to 120mm’s and try them on a 100mm bike?
