Tyre: 29x2.3", diameter about 739mm.
Fork 30mm A-C, 50mm offset
Headangle: 65 degrees, you end up with a crown height of 828.6mm and 117.1mm trail.
Tyre 27.5 (584mm) x 2.6", diameter about 716mm
Using the same headangle, crown height and trail as inputs...
Fork needs to have A-C about 539mm and 45mm offset.
I think my main issue would be, that i only could fit 2.6 tyres. Could still go bigger in the back, but not sure if that helps with handling..The idea with the pike only came up, as it was cheap.

Looking at https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/solarisMAX they say it should take 29x2.5" or 27.5x3.0"...
