Was die Jungs fahren kann ich dir nicht sagen, aber vielleicht hilft das:

With both the Bronson and the Megatower we tried the short and the long offset. And I think if you look at the trail numbers... For us the short offset felt really natural on the 29 and it made the steering a little bit slow on the 27-5, To a degree where on the 29er you try the short offset, it feels normal on the 27-5 for us it felt like you were having to make an adjustment to your riding style to get it to feel normal again. Like you're sort of relearning some of the things about the steering. For a given head angle the trail numbers between a short offset 29er fork are more similar to the long offset, 27-5 fork. So in some ways I think there's a lot of room for personal preference here. And I think in the bike industry people tend to frame things in terms of like this thing's right. This thing's wrong, you're an idiot. Everybody's different, everyone rides differently and everyone has different personal preferences. But for us it feels normal on a 29er and the longer offset feels more normal in 27-5.
