Is anyone aware if the stanchion distance with the new Boost Boxxer is the same distance as the Boost Lyrik/Yari chassis?

I dont actually know but it could be as the boost 20x110 really only moves the brake flange on the hub and post mounts on the fork

There's a big thread on mtbr about the boxxer vs. lyrik chassis.

I have an old 26" Boxxer coil with an Avy cartridge so I'm wondering about repurposing those parts with some boost Yari lowers I have for my long shocked Mega 290. If the stanchion spacing is the same with the new Boxxers, then I could get a crown kit and make this franken fork. Just need to confirm the spacing first. If someone has one of the newer Boost Boxxers and could measure and/or compare with the Lyrik/Yari boost chassis that would be helpful.

Oye...my head hurts. Well I took a quick measurement and the stanchions are around 146mm center to center. Sound like some folks think the new boxxer is 150mm center to center....and importing an image in CAD and scaling, that looks to be the case....bummer

Yeah, IIRC new boxxer chassis is 150mm c2c, old ones were 140mm.
