Trek says its not advisable and would void any warranties since it would stress the head tube etc.

 

That frame was designed for the high stress riding that you'll do with a 150mm fork.

That's what they all say. That's what giant says with the trance, yet people slap 140/150mm forks on those all the time

Interesting, any idea of pricepoint?

That was exactly my thoughts, the geometry is pretty much the same...

Could you elaborate a bit on why you say this gummibear?

regarding the 2014 KHS SixFifty 7500 Enduro -

 

what I can tell you is that with its Fox and KS suspension config above it will be pricy - a given thanks to Fox' rediculous prices and service costs.

 

Kinda not practical anymore for the RSA market.

 

That above config offer will be available though for those who want to waste cash.

 

The better options is definitely going to be the XFusion all-round config.

Now that XFusion is in RSA and my good friend Michael Steynberg is our 1st official XFusion mechie that just makes things peechy;) You'll find Michael listed on XFusion's site under the International Distributor list.

 

As a whole XFusion offers a better product, range, service interval, service costs, and price.

Exactly why I want all my KHS stock fitted with XFusion only when it hits our shores.

 

Prices will be up and available not to long from now;)
