That's because Cascade Components have perfected a linkage that will reduce the travel to 180mm which will then fit a standard fork (not dual crown), 12-speed drivetrain and AXS dropper post to the bike without issue.
Blenki will also act as a tester for Cascade products, in fact we will find him aboard the all-new Bosch-powered Crestline RS 7550 eMTB. Cascade and Crestline components will work closely with Sam.
