First, rolling over stuff better, you're taking about a couple mm in approach angle on a wheel, if you want to roll over stuff better you need better suspension because these bikes are made to roll over BIG things, this bike's suspension is sacrificed because of these wagon wheels. Carries speed better aka momentum, you're joking, that's like saying its better to weigh 200lb than 150lb. Takes more to slow it down, which is EXACTLY the opposite of what you want in a downhill bike. Angles, ever noticed how much time downhill teams spend getting them right? Tire contact area...

So it accelerates slower, corners slower, has dodgy angles and less travel. Why build a whole bike when you could just tie a big fat brick and slap a crap fork onto the 951 and achieve the same result?
