I have a buddy that call them and they said that it was a fairly easy upgrade to increase the travel to 7" just like the S7. Keep in mind that the MX-6 actually gets 6.5" and may or may not be worth the upgrade. Hope this helps.
Not if stock parts are being used...Nobody

The bearings are too far apart to just 'jack' up the stanchions using longer travel cartridges - the stanchion will likely migrate past the lower bearing when compressing the negative spring.

Longer stanchions would help, but there's few people at Stratos right now who answer the phone or reply to emails...
