One thing I forgot to mention on the phone was check that the frame can handle 200mm travel. I have seen plenty of big hits running 200mm travel but it may void the warranty !

Did you buy the frame new? If not, there's no warranty to worry about.

It will work but I wouldn't plan on pedalling it much!

The big hits often run totems and 66's which have the same AC as tripple clamps so it should be fine.

The only thing to check is whether or not your current fork has a taper steerer - that boxxer is a 1 1/8th strait so a reducer bottom cup would be required if you currently have a taper steerer.

Some one had the same issue here

Boxxers do look cool on big hits :)
