The SB165 is designed to run a 180mm travel fork. We tested this frame to 20mm over the spec fork. So if you’re feeling the need to beef up the fork you can run up to a 200mm fork no problem. Bottom line - max axle to crown measurement of 599mm. Increasing your fork travel will slacken the head angle and seat tube angle and raise the bottom bracket. Running a shorter fork is fine too if that suits you. Shortening the fork will steepen the head angle and seat tube angle and lower the bottom bracket For more geometry information, check out the geometry section.
