If on a 26" surely it will be rubbish regardless. 😉

Teasing.

as for the OP, what apprehensions do you have. Sure it would work fine. Just stick em on and forget about it.

TLR I ran a Ti456 with 150mm forks for a little while and it was great.

It would be perfect.
Got a 456 with a RS Rev 150 on it. rides fine but have to watch my technique on steep climbs to keep the front under control. A TALAS would be great for it.

When i first built my 456ti up I didn't have spare foks to suit so i used the 160mm Fox 36's off my Enduro.

It was fine with them if a little OTT.

Preferring mine at 130mm these days with U turn Pikes.

Run 140mm's on mine and don't bother with the talas (or whatever Magura call it), able to out-climb most and to the limit of the granny. Tried with 150mm 36's, just ended up running more sag.

IME If 140's are cheaper than 150's, go for the 140's - and I wouldn't bother with the talas.

run 160mmlyriks on mine, it's great going down stuff, thankfully they are two step flavour and switch down to 120mm for goingup stuff at the flick of a lever.

Then I suspect not even you will notice the extra 10mm (although your missus might)

I'd sooner run my 456 at 140 than 150, seems like a backwards step. Is it the latest TALAS or an older 3-position one?
