There is great deal on a 27.5 Mattoc boost but my frame is not boost would it still fit or would it mess up the roll speed and geometry?
Thanks

The boost fork has nothing to do with your frame. It wont mess with your geo unless its a 29 fork on a 27.5 bike. You will just need a boost hub and redo your wheel.

Boost is just a standard for hub width and brake spacing. You could put a fatbike fork and hub on your bike and it would be fine!

As Cspringsrider said, the problem you are likely to encounter is that your current hub may not be Boost, so you would need a different hub or, if available, a conversion kit for your hub to make it Boost compatible.

Yeah cheers going to buy a new wheel as this deal is too hard to turn down as was due a upgrade does anyone know if this looks horribly disproportionate?

More info 2.2 on the rear and 2.8 on front does that look totally disproportionate

You can run any size tire you want on a boost fork. I run a w.4 on mine and it doesnt look wierd just match the rim width for the tire size you run. I have 2.4 front and 2.6 rear on 28mm rims just fine doesnt look wierd.
