Wrong. This is frame with "forward geometry", and it should be used with short stem. Slack head angle + long stem = worst steering ever.
...and constant pedal strikes on every tech climb  ;)

It seems to me that I am being misunderstood: Manufacturer recommendation is 100mm travel and no manufacturer uses very short stems (~40mm).   Carbonda, Vitus, except NS-Bikes (they offer a 120mm version but with adapted rocker).

If you get pedal strike (often), maybe you should use a real trail / enduro bike?

NS  Manual:  ".........the frame is disigned to work with single crown xc forks with up to 120mm of travel................use differnet style of forks or forks with longer travel my result in frame failure , possible injury....."

The frame is designed for XC in terms of weight. But most people here want to use it for trail or enduro. You can see this in the statements you keep reading: tendency to recommend a larger frame with a very short stem; search for more suspension travel, "spirit of the (I think he means downhill) bike" ......I think: the real spirit (from the manufacturer)   is XC with 100/100mm!

You can do everything, but please don't be surprised if a part fails.

Y

Is this a damper like on the Scott spark 2016?

Does the fork also have 3 positions? Open, Trail, Lockout?
