I think this is a good summary. The 152 goes FAST and I anticipate the 170 (over over-forked/coil-shocked 152) would go nearly as fast but bring in a significant margin of error for riders at my level.
Put another way, my own 120/120mm FS bike ‘feels’ fast and gets me in trouble when I’m not on it 100%, without the travel to get me out… but in actual terms the speed is much, much slower than the 152 but I feel the margin of error is similar.
