Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 Max fork travel @150mm

[Geeman]

Hey up all. So my question is, has anyone fitted a 160mm travel fork or put a longer airshaft in there fork, to get it to 160mm of travel.
Cube advise no more than 150mm on 140 hybrid, but i was just wondering if anyone has done this and what's it like to ride.
I sold the RS 35 gold from new, and fitted Marzocchi Z1 air 150mm travel. Just waiting for some off set bushing, to slacken the head angle a little slacker.

Are u going to pusch saddle fwd?

Saddle is fine, plus 65 degree should be just about right for how I ride, Appalling.

Not sure if this helps but...
My 2016 Stereo 140 SL (non ebike) came stock as 140 rear travel with a 150mm RS Pike RC as standard.
head angle (according to spec sheet) was 67.5

I know it will fit perfectly, But a hybrid 140 was designed for a MAX 150mm fork, so you must be okay with invalidate your warranty also.

In theory add 20 millimeters is allowed.

max difference from front to rear must be not over 20mm. Why you think that ?

It's mentioned on the CUBE website, max fork travel. So in theory I might stick to 150mm as I want to keep my warranty.

I found it, wow, unbelivable:

Can I install forks with more travel than standard?
