I'm looking to upgrade my front forks from Rock Shox Tora 100mm to Fox Float RL forks with 120mm. Is this okay to do?

as long as your current bike can handle the change.
do a little research online and find out if your bike can handle an extra 20 mm. Most manufacturer websites should help.

Sorry, 2009.
Done a little more research and seems like it should be okay.

it should be ok, as its only 20 mm, which is not even an inch.
If you are still worried, contacting kona will solve your answer 100%

20mm should be fine , worth finding the axle to crown hights of your current forks and the ones you wish to buy
