I don’t have the best answers for you here, I can say definitively that I loved the 19 Honzo ST with the -2* Angleset with both a 170mm / 44-offset fork and a 160mm / 51-offset fork.
I never road the ‘19 with a regular headset but I’ve ridden other years with various fork lengths and regular headsets and preferred 140mm or less.
The nature of living in a small space and having a very motivated buddy who borrowed my Honzo ST and fell in love is that I sold my frame on and moved any product I was testing on to my Rifty.
Regret it now, and Kona is long sold out of Honzo ST and Big Honzo ST.
