    Bigger wheels roll over rough ground easier as an upside with generally more ground clearance. Also atm forks available in low travel Upto about 120mm as far as I'm aware. Due to this concept being relatively new you generally pay a bit more for the privilege and get a little less spec for the money but it all depends on what its used for to the pros and cons on the riding you do.
