Trying to figure out why they've used a 26" fork. Surely it really limits tyre choice and wouldn't be a good choice for UK weather due to lack of clearance?
Something to do with offset/rake I think. Trek use different offset for their 650b bikes, although not by using 26" lowers I don't think.
There's not a lot of clearance, is there?

Interesting, think its just the Hlhigh rollers, look at this pic, plenty of space for a mucky nutz.

Looks like a nice bike.
Eh theyv used 26 fork ?
As far as I'm aware my 2014 one uses a 650b and there's not masses of clearance tho thats with big rims and a 2.4 tyre.
Theyve not clogged all through last winters slop even fresh cut ukge stages, the Megavalanche however .....
i still wanna learn more about a 26inch fork, or are you getting confused with the 167?
Its all on their website...and even in some reviews I found on the internet?
link, coz I cant find anything about it?
is this some kind of test?
my 2014 model defo has 650b forks, i just checked!
