What's everyone running up front ? I run mine with a 140 fork ( spec says 120-140). Forget warranty & all that
, just wondered if anyone runs theirs with a 150 & how it rides ?

not got one, not ridden one but...

It's more about the axle to crown rather than the travel with these things. There are short 150's and long 140's out there. In the end of the day going 140 - 150 if it's only 10mm on a-c will make very little difference unless your on the tipping point already.

Yeah what mike says. Fox are shorter A2C than RS forks of the same travel length by 5mm. Taking into account 2-3mm of additional sag and there's nothing really in it

Currently running 140 RS & wondered if the revs I had were worth a try at 150. Doesn't sound like its worth the hassle of changing them over !

Run 140mm Pikes on mine. Generally they are set at 130mm, seems to be the sweet spot. Reckon a 150mm fork would be just a little too much. Give it a try though you might like it.
