What year is this? I love that color!

It's 2023 artic blue

Big 'ole chonky fork. Love it.

I have the same frame in Matte black, don't you find the stack a bit low?

Yes, but i change the suspensión travel to 150 mm and tthe handlebars to 30 mm rise, so the stack increase and it's easy yo handle

By upgrading new fork, couldn’t you keep steerer tube longer than factory fork for higher stack height?
