i just swapped out my 06 Boxxer WC to try a freshly tuned travis (also 06) and realized that a travis can be setup lower than a boxxer, which really surprised me.
boxxer sits at an axle to crown of approx 570mm or approx 22 and3/8 inches, which appears to be pretty much the lowest possible setting without reducing travel.
since the travis lowers/internals start slightly below the axle, the lowers are at least 12mm lower than the boxxers. with 208mm of exposed stanction and flipping the upper crown upsidedown, it's possible to run a lower axle to crown with a travis, all +12mm worth
will all the zero stack 1.5s, zero/low rise bars, etc. - quest for lowest possible front end, you'd think sram would make their race fork as low as possible. must be other drawbacks to having the axle above the bottom of the lowers?
