I'm taking my chanses going race light with the Token (same as Ritchey, Trigon etc) fork at 450g or so I've had mine for over 2 years and no problems even in technical terrain. I do not think I've jumped/dropped more then 2 feet with it.
AC is just 410mm so steering is fast.
If you go 96:er geomtery gets more normal on modern frames.
Nobby Nic 2.4 fit but with narrow clearance.

Just a little info :
Token is only good for a 26''

I've see people run them on disc cyclocross bikes, seams to be working. But I guess you are correct in that they are made for 26"

Yeah, trust me, I bought a Token 410mmAC for my Salsa Selma 29er. Big Mistake. It looks nice in the garage, but the math is really wrong. 175mm cranks were hitting everything in the turns. I ended up clipping a root and getting tossed and injured slightly....QUOTE]

The steering must have been extremely fast as the Token AC is about 60 mm shorter then recommended for that frame.

Mounted on a 26" bike they work well depending on geometry and steering preferences. If you then go 96:er with the 26" frame you get the front up 1.5 inch/38 mm and that would be in the area of normal for an XC frame but probably tweak the geometry in some other way
