The hardtail ‘comeback’ is such an over-stated phenomenon (they never really went anywhere) BUT the freeride hardtail comeback on the other hand! Trailstar is legendary fun with any fork length.
170mm fork on a hardtail can be total shenanigans and if you aren’t trying to win EWS (or the local Fiver even) nothing else matters.
