I am pretty sure I read somewhere that 456 evo2 can take 160mm forks. Since 45650b have same geometry, will it be fine with 160mm forks?

On one say 100-150.

10mm of for travel will make a small difference, but it's also worth remembering that the axle to crown is important too. I have various forks in the garage with the same travel but all are different lengths. So if you have a long 160mm fork with will be exaggerated a lot more. Potentially you could end up with a 150mm fork that is longer than a 160mm fork.

I've seen it on one one website, but again, it says the same on 456 evo 2 frames . The forks would be dual position pike

I think Brant normally uses Rockshox ac length and takes into account the on one headset. This was the case with el guapo.

456 refers to 4", 5", 6", so there's the answer. Official answer that is.

this is Brant's reply from other forum regarding 160mm forks on 456 evo: 'The frame main tubes have been CEN tested to 160mm in previous model, so I imagine it's all fine. Geoemtry will be fine with longer fork. '
I've sent email to One One, but maybe someone can confirm it faster on here.
Thanks
