It's designed for 80mm. 100 is ok too, but no more than that.

I'm pretty sure the air adjust is there to make the fork stiffer/softer. The travel on the other hand is adjusted internally. Correct me if I'm wrong.

why do you want / need a new fork?
you plan on making it a fr HT?
100 is perfect, 110 is the max id go on a hardtail.
yes, travel is adjusted internally, air only afect stiffnes

@sie7e well, i have a hardtail, i have 130 mm travel on it and the sag brings it to a solid 100 mm,. the max you go depends on the size of the frame and rims billay

your bike must ride funky.
p serires only come one size i think.
and no, the max doesnt depend on frame size nor wheels

100 max anymore than that you will be putting too much strain on the head tube. The p series bikes were not designed to go any higher and don't have the required reinforced head tubes to do so. You risk snapping the frame. Got my info direct from specialized Wink

dude... if u can snap a p1... i will buy you a new frame... those things are tanked, easily could take 140 with out snapping, prob could go to 120 and still feel comfortable

BUT, for dj 100 mil is more than enough,

lots of fail going on here.. Blank Stare

dude with the cowan, konas are awkward turtle no matter what you do, and da f*ck you talking about sag on a dj bike for? max sag on a dj bike should be 5-10% maybe less depending on your ride style.
