I have an Anthem X, am running a Epicon at 120mm travel up front and loving it.

Vipa, as a trail bike, is limited by it's 80mm rear travel IMO.

I've just fitted an Epicon on my Anthem but its still set at 100mm, does the 120mm setting make a big difference?

I will honest and say that I only had a very mild ride with it set at 100mm.

With it set to 120mm it has slackened the head angle by about 1deg which makes it lean even more towards trail and not XC.

Keep in mind you can buy a Anthem SX which is pretty much the Anthem X but with a 120mm fork.

Do it, you won't regret it and even if you do it's easy to set back to 100mm.
