Its the right size and shape fork for this bike. Using the 27.5" wheel raises the front end by roughly 20mm more than what the bike is designed for, but as long as I dont go any higher shouldnt be a problem. The bigger wheel definetely did slow down the handling a little bit, but the bike still feels fantastic. Very fast, sharp handling.. quite a pleasure to ride.
