Based on how well my Soul rides at 140mm I'm sure the BFe would be equally great. If you're not prepared to put the work in during the tight and twisties you won't like it on sinuous singletrack but if you do then it'll rail that and batter through the fast rough stuff too.

You can set your forks up how you like - I run about 15% sag on mine (so firmer than most) and rarely use the last 10mm of travel. But the action is more linear than if I were using the full travel of a matching 10mm shorter fork and the head angle slightly slacker, both good for me. And there's the extra security of 10mm more absorption when things don't go to plan...

i dont understand why people say 160 forks arent good for 'tight twisty singletrack'

as long as your stem doesnt look like a crane you'll be reyt.
