Whats in a degree?

[BT180]

The only thing that shits me about the Strive is that they're really vague about whether or not it will take a 170mm Lyrik. When I was thinking of buying one I was told that the 170 Lyrik was too long and would void the warranty, then I saw some EWS racer putting a 180 Lyrik on his ... And they spec the top model with a 170mm Fox fork, so I'm confused...

The reason they gave me for this when I bought mine was that the 170mm 36 has the same axle to crown as the 160mm Pike (so no changes in geo). So assuming the 170 Lyrik would lengthen that measurement.

Interestingly though, they're now speccing some 2018 Strive models with the 170mm Lyrik. Go figure.
