Looking to buy a set of pikes for a 2014 Orange five pro 650B. Will probably go for single air.

Big question is do I go for 150 or 160 travel. Current forks are Fox Float 34 Factory Kashima FIT (which I'll be selling once the Pikes are on) and the shock is a Fox Float Factory CTD Kashima.

Not sure if 160 will be too much travel, will it upset the handling of the bike? Should I just stick with 150 as that's what's already there? What are the benefits of having an extra 10mm on this bike?

Thanks in advance!

If it helps orange list a fork up to 150 on their website and the pike upgrade option is a 150.

My 26" 160mm pikes came from Bike Discount.de in Germany. They took about a day longer to arrive than the usual suspects but were about £75 cheaper.

They seem to have 150, 160mm travel awailable (see what I did there) in dual and solo flavours.

Brilliant fork by the way. You won't regret either.
