The Varg SM caster offset and trail is awesome (it must be!)

Most SM bikes and almost all SM conversions ignore the poor caster trail outcome that happens after a 17" front wheel is installed on a front end that was originally designed for a 21" wheel. Not Stark!

Cudos!

In a practical sense, what does that give us? What would be the difference that we would notice between an EX converted to 17" vs. the new SM bike?

According to Anton Wass;
More stable front end at high speeds, and more agile front end in twisty corners.
