Has anyone put a 170mm Air Spring or Fork on their Levo Gen 4?

I added the Cascade link and a 170mm Air Spring to my 38 on my Gen 3 levo and after a couple hundred miles on the Gen 4, I think I'm going to move that 170mm air Spring to my Gen 4. Has anyone done the same? I'm thinking that the small increase in bottom bracket height and the small decrease in head tube angle are going to be perfect for the bike.

I’ve done it, not been on for long but no negative so far. I’ve had quite a few pedal strikes so hoping this will assist with that.

Thinking of doing the cascade link with standard shock but it’s nearly 400 quid to land in the uk- not sure 10mm is worth that!

Did it myself and am really digging it. More plush and less bottom out. It's sick.

Just remember it will also slacken seat tube angle so your weight will be further back. Really only important when climbing.

When I did it on the Gen 3 I noticed that a lot more. I would do the power wheelie. On the Gen 4 it feels totally solid even when under significant power and climbing really steep ebike style climbs.
