Personally I don't think a 140mm fork would feel good at all on the Flyer.  Modern trail bike seat tube angles are in the 76-78deg range, going to 73 is the wrong way.  My opinion is that if you want a 140mm bike, then you should look at something like the FM1001.

I really don´t know if the seat tube angle would do such a downside. Probably I´ll have to test it. Been honest, I don´t think the bike is a great climber, but I´m worst climber than the bike will ever be. lol

About the Carbonda FM1001, the thing is I live in Brazil, and recently (after I bought the Lexon) our custom taxes went over to 95%, what makes impossible to import another bike directly, and trail bikes here are something close to 20 minimun wage.

I will try to atach a video riding the Lexon Flyer at a Flow track:

Very similar to Canyon Luxe Trail,  thinking that rear suspension going be closer to 115 mm,  but 120X115 would suit me just fine.
