Ah yeah, nice one. Good spot.
Shame they couldn't do flat mount front like flat mount rear, but I guess aeros and structural considerations of the lower fork leg prevented that.
As it stands: that's a fucking mess.

I think the reusable adapter is a nice touch, but yes the threads in the fork design is not an improvement.

Why? Isn't that a decent solution being able to flip the adapter for common disc sizes?

If you use a flat mount fork with post-mount calipers you get what you want :) (extra bolts...in a cheap replaceable part .. and small disc sizes)
right one

hippy
The front adapter for flat mount works for both 140mm and 160mm by turning it around. But you have to remove it because the bolts for the caliper go in reverse. So no, you dont spare the fork bolt threads...
140mm side up
160mm side
